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)
Still a worry in my mind that Garcia turns up and has one of his wobbles but if he’s 50% switched on he should knock Benn out who looks horrendous at the weight.
I'm tempted to stick £500 on a Garcia stoppage. But by the rule of sod's law I hate Benn so much he would probably end up winning
Just saw the recent pictures of Benn, God he looks awful! It's not even fight week and he looks so drained and incredibly ill. I can't see him being effective in there against Garcia. The level of energy required at this level and in this particular weight class has to be too much for him surely. He will have to improve significantly from his last performance against Regis if he wants to beat Garcia. Given his defensive skills or lack of them, the weight cut, the opponent. I think he's playing a very dangerous game with his health if I'm honest.
For me it is a no brainer Not only is Benn not elite, he cannot safely make the weight to the point him at 147 is not safe
