Boxing; 9/02/2006; Guerrero-Aiken

[frank s.]

Robert "the ghost" Guerrero has been 12 rounds. He avenged his loss to Diaz in fine fashion with a 6 round KO. Aiken has been 8 twice. He won his "title" apparently by DQ in the 8th round. The Ghost will be pumped and primed for this, make no mistake. My take is Aiken folds inside. Play the Under 11.5-147 forthwith. I may have more. Wanted to post and get right back. Velazquez-Voronin looks like it could end early also as Voronin hasn't faced any serious opposition, but I won't run with it right now.As far as Green-Linton, Green is a banger, but 8.5 ain't gettin it. If I had a gun to my head, I would play the over, BUT I don't have that proverbial firearm pointed at me so I'll pass. I think box has, or will, cover all the rest.

At +270....I can't critisize a play on the Velsquez Under 9.5, but I will say that Voronin went the distance with Bernard Dunn and Nicky Cook are both decent fighters. Voronin is a southpaw, and Velasquez isn't very skilled, he could have some trouble here. Velasquez is more of a pressure fighter, works the body well, but doesn't have much power. Most of his ko's have come against very weak opposition.

However

Velasquez is the bigger guy, and like I said, he works the body very well. He also has a head first, come forward style, that creates frequent headbutts. I think if the Under 9.5 hits, it'll either be stopped on cuts or Velazquez's body work will force Voronin to quit.

I agree, which is why I stayed away. When in doubt, do nothing, as they say. I did play the ghost fight though.

Nice call on the Under

Thanks. Lost a small wager on Toney inside, but it was just a tv bet anyhow. Back to the drawing board.
