    I bet 30 bucks on Cotto by TKO/KO/DQ pays at +270

    When this fight was first announced, I could have gotten Cotto straight up at -140. Damnit!

    $75 Cotto to win at +260
    $25 for the fight to go under 9.5 rounds at -160

    If Margarito was about the same size as Cotto, i would've bet more but you have to take Marg's larger size, power, relentless pace, and determination into consideration.

    how the hell did you get those lines? is your +/- backwards?

    i have ploenty of bets on this fight. mostly small at good lines.

    margo +259
    margo ko +500
    cotto 12rd dec +182
    under 9.5 +175
    marg 7-9 and 10-12 $7 for $95 each
    both guys small SD, 5 Marg and 10 Cotto to win 100

    after reading the predictions of some respectable cappers and analysts, including amsterdamn, im thinking to put some coin on cotto ko/tko/dq, i found +333 at one book.

    There have been reports of Margarito focusing on technical aspects in training camp, like imporoving defense, jab, and preparing for a boxing Cotto. Of course 1 training camp can't makes up for a decade of habit, but its still an encouraging sign. This is a career defining fight for both men, my pick is Cotto, but the betting value is on Margo.

    Maybe 10%, is it enough to bet 10,000 on? No.

    He has the chance of a lucky KO, that's it, and since he's ineffective backing up and gets smothered inside and has no D, not to mention he doesn't have 1 punch KO power, it's minimal, at 10%.

    The likely thing is for Cotto to take him apart and stop him on accumulation damage.

    The money would be better off helping some homeless people get something to eat, rather than throwing a wager on 1 dimensional Margarito.

    I tell everyone here that an investment in a margarito win makes great business sense. No longer are Cotto's days numbered; his hours are now
    numbered. Margarito by 8th round KO. And that's the name of that tune.
