Boxing; some near future prognostications; 11/10/2007

Cotto-130 over Mosley. Yea, Mosley is slick and quick and Cotto eats too much leather, etc. Be that as it may, Cotto hits harder than Mosley, and needs this feather in his cap. Pick is Cotto.
Next up is Margarito-Johnson. Hope the price isn't too high on Margarito. I'm expecting Margarito to attack with a vengence here. Williams had height and reach; not so here. I think Cotto gets bet up as it gets closer. I also think Margarito opens at -300(I'm HOPING) and not too much more. If it's even less I am going to hammer it.

I think that's a bit of wishful thinking Franks. I think the odds will be closer to -500. Marg is a very big strong welter and Johnson used to fight @135. Margo is a VERY tough fighter and I'd probably still take him @ 5 to 1. @-300, I'd put a bundle on it. I liked Mosleys chances when the fight was announced but he's not the same fighter he once was and I'm leaning towards Cotto to wear him down. Should be a hell of a fight.

I do that all the time! I realize Margarito will be a huge chalk, but I can dream, can't I. Looks like prop/parlay city again. In the mean time, help me out with Clazaghe-Kessler.
