    Loma should be favored but -1600 is NUTS.

    Nakatani is like a longer Campbell with more power and maybe a better chin. He very nearly or arguably beat Teo. Loma has gotten ANOTHER major surgery on his shoulder with a lot of wear and tear and Nakatani is much bigger.

    Good, a lot of lads will place some 10 or 20 pounds/ bucks on Nakatani.
    I don't think that his chin is better than Campbell's, at all Campbell ended till cards vs Linares who hit harder than Loma and also vs Loma, Garcia landed on him a liver punch.
    While Loma now is older than he was in fight vs Campbell and Nakatani really looks that is large for Loma, like Campbell too looked large size for Loma.

    Where's this idea that Nakatani almost beat Teo come from? Lopez beat Nakatani clear as day.

    would not be shocked if he wins by close/split decision. Loma is clearly on the slide, body is falling apart, does not belong in that weight class.

    IB scored it a draw, I scored it by a point to Nakatani. Go rescore it Padawan, you obviously missed something.

    Nakatani still looks a bit unpolished to me. Against Lopez he had a good jab and right hand, but saying he is a better version of Campbell seems a bit of a stretch. Campbell looks like a polished fighter for what he is. Nakatani doesn't. Loma should be a huge favorite.

    I have a funny feeling about this one. Same feeling I had before Jones/Tarver rematch. Might soell trouble for Loma. Hhope not. Want to see a Lopez rematch.

    The line may shrink as the fight nears. +900 is good odds for a bet as Nakatani is no slouch.

    I honestly think boxing and UFC are the hardest sports to handicap, it seems like Vegas gets odds wrong all the time on straight up or outcomes when it comes to the sports. Charlo was a huge favorite to win by knock out last week but +275 to win a decision. Well, he won a decision. He was -400 I think to win by knock out.

    You're right, like everyone who gets robbed, they don't officially win.

    I've seen it twice, I thought Nakatani won both times. Sorry, I'm not going to agree with you.
