    Casinos are in business and continue to accept sports bets for a reason...

    However, they really don't mean **** at all.

    The oddsmakers and some fanboys thought I was crazy for predicting a Quintana mid-late round stoppage over Latimore, too.

    What I like about Rigo is his ring movement. He is a great boxer.



    But what makes this fight, is the fact that Donaire is also a great boxer. With power.



    I love stating the obvious, but thats what it is.



    Everybody knows Donaire. No one will bet on Rigo, thats why it is the way it is.


    Their styles will link up perfectly. Believe that.

    Those numbers are irrelevant, and will tighten up as the fight approaches.

    People are dazzled by speed and power, they dont realize how fundamentally lacking Donaire is, how often he gets hit and how easy it is to penetrate his defense. And you don't get much more fundamentally sound than Rigo. The man is a sharp shooter

    I like Donaire by KO. I don't think it will be close. I do not think it will be competitive. I do however think that the people that discount Donaire now will continue to discount him after he knocks out Rigo. That group, the goof mob, will say the following: Oh well now you are acting like its impressive he knocked out Rigo but before you were saying Rigo hadn't accomplished much....

    It's easy to say the first statement about anyone.

    I mean, if you think Donaire lacks fundamentals, you must feel Sergio lacks even moreso in that department.

    Donaire has a punchers chance and that´s all !
    Seriously, the way Donaire is being favored is not arguable at all when you really think about this fight.

    Bookies are arong alot of times but obviously Donaire is the more accomplished and has had much more fights and Rigo's chin is a bit dodgy
    Judah to stop Paris was like 8/1 ODMSIB Odds Don't Mean **** In Boxing

    No, they're not irrelevant. They will tighten up as people see value in betting on Rigo, the reason the bookmakers set the odds so much in favor of Donaire is because they think he's by far the favorite to win
