Fres Oquendo - med. (-120) I would have hit this for more, but SB not offering line.
Let's see if they cost or save me money?
I think Fres Oquendo is a good heavy, who has had some tough breaks. He's also in the midst of a solid comeback, looking good and focused in beating second tier guys. As for his past, he's got 5 losses. Way back he clearly beat Chris Byrd and got screwed on the cards. He should have become IBF champ that night. He clearly beat Toney as well. Holyfield was close, but I think he won that too. He was nip and tuck with Ruiz when he got stopped late, and was outboxing Tua when same thing happened... So in my mind Oquendo is undeafeated. :142smilie The argument can be made that Fres come up short in his biggest fight, but Mormeck doesn't fall into the category of these guys.
As for Mormeck, he looked like shit against Maddalone. He's got a lot of miles, and doesn't have they body-type to transition to heavy. He seemed squat and thick at cruiser. I don't see him in the mold of Adamek or Haye at all. Fres will find him small in compare to what he's used to. Mormeck will find Fres very strong. Fight in France doesn't help, but I think this will be a clear win.
