Leaning towards the UNDER 11.5-145 here. Penalosa has never been stopped, true. Well so wasn't Barrera, Roy jones, etc. Penalosa is 34 with limited power. Ponce de Leon is a banger big time. Ridiculous KO %; 28/32. The boy brings it. I think this is an overlay by 3 rounds. Also price dropping on Mormeck. GW-Fox Sports Net will pick up this one at some point this w/e.

Frank,
I ended up being there Sat. night, and this was the only one of five wagers that I made that missed - hit with Ov in Hopkins, missed Un here, hit with Ponce, Hopkins and of course the big bet Juan Manuel.
I'll try and let ya know when I go again, maybe we can hook up again for the fight or a drink afterwards.
I was surprised to see Ponce fighting backwards, not bringing it as much; lucky for him Penalosa has no power and was moving up, Ponce got hit flush a lot. Hopkins got the gift of course, I smelled that one coming and wagered using the follow-the-money gig. Makes ya wonder how bad Floyd has to beat Oscar to not get jobbed in a decision; checking the judges on that one and expecting to see the same as Hop/Pen . . .
