    Mundine to win by KO is 1.08, Mundine by decision is 9.00

    I think thats pretty good odds, Mundine isnt exactly a KO machine, just how crap is this opponent ?

    I think it's definitely worth a punt at that value.
    Everyones saying that undine will end this fight whenever he feels like it, I happen to disagree with this strongly. People see that he's from Argentina and they picture Mundine's KO win against Acousta, and think it'll be more of the same against this guy. Fact is that a lot of the Argie fighters are tough nuts(Acousta, and Clavero excluded), and can soak up some punishment.
    However, the downside is that he has only ever fought 6 rounders, which is a bit of a worry if you're going to bet on him lasting till the bell.

    In conclusion, It wouldn't surprise me if Mundine wins on points, or wins in the first round. It isn't hard to picture Mundine winning in similar fashion to how Green beat Garcia, though I just get the feeling that the 6 rounder thing will play a bit of a part.

    If you're an optimist, go for the bet. :good

    Unless Mundine plans on putting a few thousand bucks down to win by decision, i'd say you just lost $20.

    lol no way its gonna go to decision that will look so bad on his reputation, its out to 12 dollars by the way, your much safer going 20 dollars on a round say form round 3-5, if it lasts anymore then that thats disgraceful

    Yeah lets be fair.
    Sure Nieves has a pretty poor record and has been listed as been dropped a few times but no one has seen him fight. We dont know the circumstances of those fights or KD's and if he will turn up differently tonight.

    I gotta say I was one of the ones who said Choc can end it when he pleases, and Ill stand by that. But Argies know how to spoil and how to take whatever talent they have a long way in a fight.
    Looking at Nieves' size if Choc doesnt bomb him out ala Guy Waters, taking 7 to 8 rounds to chop him down isnt that bad.

    If Choc doesnt stop him however he should be disapointed and be prepared to accept some criticism, as well all know why he chose Nieves.

    Stoppage 3, 4 or 5 is probably a better bet.

    But also chucking $10 or $20 on the decision won't break the bank.

    Check the guys records. Has he ever been hurt? KOed? Remember he is pretty big, which should make it harder for him to get KOed.

    It is probably the best gambler's bet.
