    Yikes....I just checked bodog boxing odds, you can google that....

    they got mayweather a slight favorite with 10/13 odds.....they got pacquiao 1/1, straight up even bet with 100 dollars...

    The over/under they are showing is at 11 1/2 (brutal for a gambler) 20/37 over.....and 29/20 for the under...so you could make some money on the under, reasonable bet there...this seems to suggest more people are betting the over/under line then the actual fight...

    wow i've never seen a betting line like that

    I thought with pac's hype the under might be a little lower than that

    If you put down with these odds 100 on the under you could get back 145 return.....

    I think Floyd will get hit more than people come to expect, but I think people will be surprised at how easily he will hit Pac.

    The thing is I feel Mayweather will win a UD. I don't see Floyd dominating this fight like he did against Gatti. The reason I say the Gatti fight is not because I think this was a tough match up but because Gatti never quit.

    He'll get hit but he has perfected the shoulder roll!

    That's what I have said would be manny's biggest weakness in this fight is he gets hit way to easily.....no doubt pacquiao has improved, but his defense is not that great.....floyd will exploit that....I've picked mayweather all along on points....to many technical advantages, if you look at it just on paper...

    Pacquiao is easiest to hit with a jab...

    Pacquaio still has a tendency to throw his left hand too frequently and from too far away. Floyd may be able to land his "pull-counter" right hand when he does that. Floyd is also smart enough to do something Cotto hasn't learned to do yet and that's to TIE HIS OPPONENT UP!!!! He just tried to exchange with him or get on his bike and try to survive. Floyd won't let Pac just unleash 15-20 punch flurries and pick him apart. I can see him landing conter shots and tying Manny up to blunt any kind of momentum he may try to gain and cruising to a decision.

    Floyd is going to have to do more than usual in this fight IMO. I think the judging of this fight is going to be very crucial. There will be many times where manny throws flurries and will only land 1 or 2 punches but the crowd will be going crazy..hopefully this will not sway the judges opinion on who wins each round!!!!!!!!!!!!!
