    Cool lol. Great that you get the odds in early. Well good luck!
    I'm riding with Loma though.

    Lol, once in a while that straight win/loss (which is usually useless) saves the day!

    It's clear you're one of the children of the corn.

    (I mean that in the nicest possible way.)

    I'm pretty sure Rigo is going to win on most of our cards, I'm pretty sure he's going to get robbed on those cards though, making RL: bets insane imo. Good luck all though, hope there is no robbery.

    Do you have a prediction for the fight, IB? Not seen it yet?

    The prop for Rigs stopping him by pumpkin face should be about 15000 to 1, even with those padded gloves they are making Rigs wear.

    So far nobody but you has come forth with proof of a bet IRL.

    10/3 is fantastic odds on Rigo. I am not a betting man though, so I wont be having a nibble.

    Could be a "controvesial" draw as both guys are so damn good and each fans side will be sure on their own favorite win...

    Despite being a big Loma fan, I thought about betting Rigo.

    A few things stopping me:

    Rigo has been inactive. Since Donaire he has fought about once a year against weak opposition, and Donaire was four years ago. When I saw Rigo fight that Philipino kid (not Donaire) a few fights ago, he looked horrific. All he's done since then is kayo Jazza F***** Dickens (who?), and some other bum.

    37 at that weight is about 43 in HW years.

    Rigo weighed in for the second weighing at about 128. This matchup is incredibly competitive if he's the same weight as Loma and a few years younger. Now? Clear underdog.

    Everyone's going on about Rigo's power, but he's moving up which matters. Most importantly, he's fighting a guy who HAS NEVER BEEN VISIBLY HURT IN PRO/AM. Rigo is not winning a decision throwing 30 punches a round. Betting on him is essentially relying on him to hurt and take out a highly skilled, bigger guy who HAS NEVER BEEN VISIBLY HURT IN PRO/AM.

    I hope everyone makes money today.
