Odds should not be that high on taylor, he hasnt fought in 2 years and on that occasion he was brutally knocked out. We dont know how much, if anything he has left

Bow down and kiss my feet, buddy.

The real-life odds are 1/40 - 1/50 on JT (with Nicklow - a passing fair journeyman ten years younger and far more active than JT - paying between 15/1 - 20/1)

I hooked us up big-time. (partly due to agreeing with your sentiment and partly because it isn't even worth making a thread for odds that long. This ShoBox doubleheader next week is really the last opportunity for vCash to be spent in 2011. So tightening the odds on JT even to 1/15 is my little Merry Xmas to everybody. )

750 on Taylor and 7 on the under.

This Nicklow guy better be a certified bum.

He was stopped only once, on ShoBox by Fernando Guerrero (and that was a standing referee stoppage, while they were trading shots toe to toe - Nicklow was just eating more. He did get dropped and shaken up by a right hand earlier in the round but Guerrero was unable to really finish him off with a punctuation mark) - over whom he has a couple of amateur victories.

Tough bastard, and not unskilled. That under might be a venus fly trap...

Taylor has had a longer layoff than Dirrell, had arguably the more serious health concerns (although both had cerebral trauma), is draining down to a weight he reportedly couldn't make when he was a few years younger than he is now, and is in with a better opponent in Nicklow than Dirrell has in Cunningham. It's ridiculous that the sportsbooks have Taylor a much wider favorite than Dirrell. (almost twice as wide, actually)

So yeah, y'all are quite welcome for me fixing that and adding some value back in here. (with all things being relative, if we're calling 1/15 value )

I have no faith in Taylor with this fight

No problem, mameluk.

Ugh, Taylor hasn't beaten ANYONE but Jeff Lacy since he defended the middleweight title against Cory Spinks all the way back in 2007. If I end up betting on Taylor it'll be because I like him and want him to do well (which I do) and not because this is a decent risk versus reward. Which it isn't, even with IB throwing us a bone.

204, all in on rusty ass, beaten up Jermain Taylor.

Not gonna bother betting on this, but is there gonna be threads for Uchiyama-Solis and Caballero-Hosono?

Probably, but not until after my return from vacation (the 27th).
