    well the casino factors in public opinions too. Most people thinks cotto is better so vegas will manipulate the line higher than a should be. Also Being in MSG where Cotto is loved doesn't help. Clottey not having a draw will also hurt him in close rounds.

    This is an important observation however you could argue that he has two stoppages in his last two since Judah was going to be knocked out before he bailed out faking the vision thing which was really caused by a punch and Jose Cruz TKO 5 before that.

    I don't think I am going to bet on this fight.

    :good

    Exactly Correct ..... And the fact that the fight is around the PR parade week and its in MSG heavily pushes the odds in Cotto's favor.

    Has nothing to do with any systematic comparison of the two fighters skill-set and how they match-up. {If only odds were calculated that way:yep}
