That's quite a huge wager!
Have you seen the first fight of the two?
Home advantage could be a big factor in this fight, but their first fight was a draw, so a victory for Inom does not look too unlikely....
First of all, I like the Over 9.5 just as much as Sarritzu, but the odds are too high for a straight bet so I have it wrapped up in several parlays...as posted
No, I can't find the first fight, but not only was it in France, it was in Inom's home town. In that fight, two of the judges could not find a reason to give it to the hometown guy, the other had it very close, 7-5 for Inom
This fight is not only in Italy, its in Sarritzu's home town, and its the first time Inom has fought outside of France at 34 yrs old. Sarritzu is younger, taller, and has fought the much better competition. Two close fights with Narvaez, one of them a Draw, two competitive fights with Pozo, one of them a win, and Pozo is now in line to fight Narvaez
Inom's only decent competiton was Sarritzu, who he drew with in his back yard, and Narvaez who outboxed him clearly before stopping him late. I have read several fight reports from all these fights and its clear that Sarritzu is just a little bit better, and the hometown/promotional advantage seals the deal for me
5dimes opened this at -230, stayed there for a week before thegreek copied with -225, that stayed put for a week before Joey put up his line...-275/+215...why would he make his line higher than the other books when they were getting even money at their numbers?
I'll post a couple quik quotes for ya below...
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the best fight of the night, Andrea Sarritzu came from behind to win the European flyweight belt from Ivan Pozo. Sarritzu went down in the opening stanza, but got up immediately and slowly took control of the action. By the 10th round, the Italian was the ruler. In the 12th round, Sarritzu hit him with a beautiful combination Pozo, who was stopped by the referee. Pozo didn?t complain, but his cornermen did. A few seconds later, Pozo collapsed and stayed on the ring floor for several minutes. The doctors jumped into the ring, put Pozo on a stretcher and brought him to the hospital. A few hours later, Pozo recovered.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
On the undercard, Omar Narvaez of Argentina retained the WBO flyweight title, stopping Bernard Inom of France in the 11th round of a one-sided bout. Narvaez overpowered the WBO's 10th-ranked contender, landing heavy body and head combinations, while Inom connected with few of his punches. Narvaez was in control by the fifth round, launching a flurry of punches that forced Inom against the ropes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll keep digging but everything points to Sarritzu being the better guy and the first fight with Inom being a hometown hosejob, which is why Sarritzu insisted on the rematch being at his house
Looking for any information anyone has on this fight as I plan on loading up on Sarritzu, with the Over as gravy
