I am a bit surprised that AK is a 5-1 favorite. First, he's fighting in PM's backyard and second, it's a step up in competition. Not saying AK can't win but the odds are very high IMO. Thoughts?
They got it about right, PM is not scientific, he relies on being faster than his opponent, which he obviously won't be in this fight. On top of it all, there are women that punch harder than Malignaggi at 147lbs. I am not sold on Amir at all, but this fight right here is serving him the silver platter for the world to see.
Wow, that's a really smart bet! Stand to make a lot of money on this fight, due to the dusting PM is gonna give that untempered glass. Id bet the house on it, and take the under perhaps
PM and AK? Damn that's lazy. Took me a minute to figure out what the hell you were talking about. Anyway, if the fights are off on any fight this weekend, it's Mitchell-Katsidis. That should be an even money fight, but Mitchell is a 1.5-1 favorite, which I honestly think is because a lot of Brits still overrate Prescott. Paulie has little to no chance to beat Khan. Stay the hell away from that bet. Paulie doesn't have the power to knock him out, and Khan is quicker, has a higher workrate, has a longer reach and comes at more angles than Paulie. Unless Paulie suddenly turns into something he's not, there's little chance he wins without a robbery.
i like paulie,but then he accused good honest people of cheating and became all nasty and jealous trying to smear peoples good name,roach,pac ect are all clean cut good honest hard working peeps!. I just dont see how paulie will be able to beat Amir. Hes got skills,and looks good agianst a slow lightweight,or average light welterweight. But khan has better speed,better power obviously,better movement and footwork,will close down paulie easy,land on him easy,get out of distance or counter before paulie knows about it. im cant wait to see khan show his skill agiasnt a very skilled fighter.
I thought the odds were off too. Mathematically, I think Paulie has a better than 40% shot and is getting 350 on bodog. Personally, I wouldn't bet the farm on anything, but throwing down $30 with a chance to win $100 might make Saturday night a little more fun.
I reckon Khan will win, and probably has a fair shot at getting a stoppage, but Paulie on points is an unbelievable 6-1. With the fight in his own backyard, and this only being Khan's second top level opponent, those are crazy odds.
