The question is will the right fighters continue to win? Because Zaveck is gonna kick Thurman's ass. That's a definite guarantee. Much like he was going to do to Berto before the abrupt stoppage. The question because will he be robbed? A bit tricky. I hate these type of fights, just like last week.
Damn. Just read my post. I wrote that on my phone and I don't make any sense. But, yeah, that fight and Abril-Bogere. Especially, Abril-Bogere, actually. Abril the better boxer, bigger guy, rightful favorite, but it would have been to risking going with him...especially betting wise. Tough luck loser, not a pleasing style, going up against the home fighter who is undefeated. This fight: Zaveck is the better fighter overall, but he's not from the States, doesn't have the backing, doesn't have KO power. He's in a tough spot, a lot like the Berto fight. Only, Thurman isn't Berto, he doesn't have that experience and has never had to really show that grit and determination. Berto-Zaveck it was easy going with Berto, but this fight is definitely tougher to call.
:good I figured it was either/or, or both. For me the right guy not getting screwed was a bit more satisfying in Gradovich's case as I don't particularly enjoy watching Abril. :yep Yeah, I've been called a fool on here for suggesting Thurman isn't yet as proven as Berto (he isn't... :?) and that him being favored 1/16 at the books is just freaking insane. I guess we're the only ones not thirsty. :conf This content is protected

I agree with you IB, only I still think "Uma" is going to win. If he doesn't my vKids will be very happy with their new clothes, cause like you said the odds are insane. But in fights like this it's better to take the "safe" route in the leagues I figure.
