    I hate betting on odds on favourites but is Garcia to KO Benn at 1/1 a sure fire way to double your money?

    It looks that way but I will say the big bookies take the absolute michael lately with odds. Stick to the exchanges

    It’s a good bet. Benn doesn’t look healthy at all and we’re not even in fight week yet. Genuinely looks like a skeleton.

    It is a very possible outcome, but if you are putting your own money on it I would avoid betting on Garcia; the guy is so hot and cold and can't particularly be relied on.

    I get what you are saying but Benn is absolutely shite and Garcia, even though the has off days, has won a world title and been in with some top guys

    I agree with what you've said completely; Garcia is a class above, and he should be knocking out a guy like Benn (and I think and hope he will.) Looking through Garcia's record though the fights that give me the most worry are those against Duarte and Rolly; against Duarte he inexplicably decided to utilise a somewhat bizarre and totally ineffective version of the philly shell, and against Rolly once he got clipped early on he lost all appetite to engage and seemed content to coast to a loss on the cards. If Garcia doesn't utilise any bizarre tactics and his heart is all there then he should smoke Benn, but Garcia's past means I'm not 100% sure that will be the case.

    I also fully appreciate what you are saying about Garcia- he has looked great in some fights and not so much in others.

    But both Rolly and Duarte are much better than Benn. And with Benn,as shite as he is, being such a big built up name I think Garcia will be super up for this.

    Either way we can agree that we both hope Benn gets smashed (and hopefully I won't lose my house on a wager)
