    if there is one fighter south of 140 capable of pulling an upset vs. dlh, it is pac. but at the same time, it is most likely improbable. bet accordingly.
     
  2. Im betteing on Dlh TO BIG TO STRONG, and no way in hell is PAQ going to get past Dlh, JAB AT 5-11, AND A BIG EDGE IN POWER,,, Manny has never been hit as hard as he's going to be in this fight this 1 boys and girls is an easy pick..:D

    You have to realize that ESB is full of delusional nuthuggers who pick and bet with their hearts most of the time. I say you should put your $1000 on Oscar and do so with confidence. It will be the easiest return on your money that you'll have in a long time.

    So is anyone else getting in on this? If so, for who and how much?

    I've recently changed my mind, and I might put about £100 on De La Hoya. I can't see Manny winning, but I'm weary of whether to specific by stoppage or just to simply pick the winner.

    I bet 10k euros at -185 on a DLH victory. The odds are ridiculous.

    I suggest not to put money on this fight. It's very unpredictable.

    PacMan: much smaller, defensive holes should work for the great counter-puncher in DLH, difference in fight night weight (although 3-4 pounds at most), ad******g to new division and bigger opponent (he was usually the bigger and heavier in his fights)
    DLH: WELL past his prime (carefully watch the Forbes fight), conditioning problems, left shoulder injury forcing him to abandon the jab after a few rounds, lack of punching power in the last 1,5 years, lack of the mobility from years back, open to body shots. PacMan will be always on his ass and will be exceptionally on his weak body. You can add weight-drain to that.



    - My suggestion is - and you should consider this at least - don't bet a large amount of money on this one, too much risk.
    - Either put a small amount on DLH by early to mid-rounds stoppage (but because of the odds I'd pass this)
    - Or put a small amount on PacMan by late stoppage, maybe an even smaller amount on each rounds after the 8th. Pays really well. I'm considering doing this one.

    16-1 that pac-man gets knocked down and wins. Worth a little punt imo

    Isn't that like 13,000 US dollars? If so, wow, that's a lot.

    I put down $1,600 on this fight on different props and bets. $1,250 of it on DLH to win overall at +175. And the rest on other props to cover most scenarios. The only scenario i didn't cover was a Pacman win via KO so if Pacman KOs DLH, i lose all $1,600. But every other scenario, including draw, i won't lose nearly as much.

    Yeah, +175. I just bet on Bodog.com. I think for the odds in Vegas, you can just go to Google and you should get plenty of info.
