Amazingly, the local here in Vegas that rights for Gaming Today for boxing and MMA said something very different from what the off shores opened up these at.
"Surprisingly for their rematch, though I have yet to see a price here in Las Vegas, offshore bookmakers have installed the champion as a smaller favorite this time around, even after his stunning knockout victory over Amir Khan.

The current line has Garcia a -220 betting favorite with the take-back on Morales +180, and the price thus far does not vary much from book to book."
Damn! I sure as heck did'nt see anything like that. Earliest line I could find had Danny -800. It must have gotten hammered big time quick.

no, the writer must be mistaken

danny garcia didnt open that low

I tend to agree, its just that this is all this guy writes about(boxing/UFC) and the straddle was accurate(-220/+180 back). If he had said Garcia -220, +500 back, I would have seen he made an error. But its a moot point. We are not going to get Garcia -220, not here, not off shore, not on Jupiter. Still, I feel the -800 is fucked anyway. Way too high.

random thoughts on statements by boxers/trainers...

random thoughts on statements by boxers/trainers...

Not sure which line I like most. Maybe Alvarado, after getting waylaid by Rios saying, "I'm still the best in my class"! WTF! Best at what? Or maybe it was Danny Garcia's dad saying that he "never met a Pakistani that could fight".

[THE_THONG]

both by dec?

KO predictions..

KO predictions..

We have heard it 100 times. Guys talking about how they will KO someone. I really believe the Garcia team is going to go after papa Morales big time. At the weigh in photo stare down Danny is right up in Morales' face and to me it looks like the Mexican warrior is actually intimidated. Morales just barely "seemed" to make weight and the Mexican beef seems to contain PED's. Danny no longer in awe of the legend.

 

[THE_THONG]

kid chocolate came through for the east coast

good call frank

 

[THE_THONG]

got lucky with the chalk parlay

malignaggi wtf

if cano didnt get that cut, paulie would have folded even worse

 

[fastfrank]

Yea, not sure if I would put any $ on Paulie going forward. Did'nt impress. Danny G. however is looking pretty sweet. Boxing better and has power in both hands. The chocolate man looked nice also. That freakin Bailey sucked. Did'nt even try to win from my perspective. What a mook. Kelly Pavlik is lookin to fight Ward. Really? He is dead meat, period. Nice job on the chalky parlay. Throat a little dry?

Morales

Morales

For all his accomplishments, it is a shame he fought this for the money only, without any shot at being competitive. For all the hype about how we were going to see a different Morales, what crap. Actually we did see a different Morales. A really shot one. Guess he talked with Oscar about duping the fans. Think De la Hoya-Pac-man, the biggest scam of the decade.

a lot of ass sweat for a little moola
