Possible. Am going to Hard Rock tonight though. I dislike Palms basically. Parking sucks and lots of dirt bags seem to gravitate there.

Well, its almost time for this one so I thought I'd refresh this a little. Props are out as is rounds bet. It is 9.5, so I had a lucky guess there. I think the perception here is the KO record of Rigon and his aggressive style being the driving force behind the line, now at -380. I just still don't think this is a foregone conclusion. 5Dimes has goes the distance -140; Ramos by decision almost +500. Also over 9.5-260, so maybe the odds makers don't expect an early end to this either. Ramos knows he needs to weather the storm early and take it into deeper water. I'm sticking with Ramos to survive and take a decision. Draw+3500(lunch take notice).

Seems like nobody is interested in this weekends cards. Guess the NFL playoffs must be on everyone's mind. Been watching more video of Rigon. I think he has been reading and believing his own press clippings. He drops a guy and raises his glove in the air; triumphant and sort of arrogant. Is he THAT good? Value still with Ramos I feel. All the scribes on the net are handing this one to Rigon like its already over. Ramos will win if he puts his thinking cap on and fights tough AND smart. Looking forward.
Guillermo Rigondeaux -200 (was lucky to get some early lines) and Draw are the current plays for me.
Lokking for more.

Not sure what to make of this one. Ramos seems to have some decent tools but I'm not sure he has what it takes as a fighter. He fights very passively and simply doesn't let his hands go enough. Rigondeaux isn't a raging bull either, especially later on in a fight if he feels he's ahead on the cards (re Cordoba bout). But he is the more aggressive fighter here and bigger puncher. Read a few years ago Rigondeaux was dropped by Ramos in sparring. Not something to get to excited about I suppose but interesting. Rigondeaux will fight his first pro fight against a guy with the hand speed and general quickness similar to what he possesses.
Southpaw v orthodox so likely get a few head clashes, another factor in the fight potentially not going the distance. In his fight with Shimoda head clashes were occurring with frequency, although Shimoda was always moving forward and semi pressuring Ramos.
Tough call, Rigo at -200/-250 might have been worth a small bet but at current levels not worth it. No clue how this plays out, both guys put a premium on not getting hit. But I do suspect both guys don't have iron chins. 5d props has 14-1 on Ramos inside, small value bet will see me through this main event.

Ya know, if my guy loses but at least looks good, I am not really upset. But this was repulsive. Ramos looked like crap. No way he could not have at least tried to win! Nice call lunch!
Thanks Frank, havent seen the fight yet; but given the commentes / reports I have seen this had been a kinda missmatch. I expectet Rigon to win but to be honest I am a little suprised about how strong he was.
Ramos was woeful, simply refused to let his hands go at all. If Rigondeaux was more of a bull he could've got him outta there in a couple rounds, Ramos doesn't appear to be built for the fight game. He should retire.
Rigondeaux under no duress obviously looked quite good. Quick on his feet, just enough output/pressure to look interesting.
