Hatton/Urango ov9.5 question

[sen]

I was looking at the odds at 5dimes and thought this was weird. They had:
* Hatton/Urango ov9.5 at -130 and
* Hatton by 12rd Decision at -170

Why would you choose the -170 when the -130 pays better and it will also count for any late KO's or even Urango winning by Dec?

Am I missing something?

Strange, I checked the odds a few hours back and Hatton by decision was at +170

They have fixed it

i give hatton a ton of credit...he didn`t have to come to the u.s. and fight.....

he loses a major advantage by coming west.....

the guy`s a real man....he`s got serious stones....

urango`s a very strong,albeit limited guy...slow......and if he weren`t a southpaw...and hatton wasn`t known to cut,i`d be all over the over 9.5...

hatton should be way to quick,but,fighting on foreign soil is dangerous....

Hey weasal i only saw Hatton fight once and i was not impressed at all. I still can't figure out how he beat Kosta Zue. It sounds like to me from your description of this other fighter that he is tailor made for Hatton. Slow.

well there it was.....he was even slower than i rmemeber him being....and surprising passive....

sorry i didn`t max out on that over....

Hatton is an average fighter at best. all the holding makes him a John Ruiz clone. this guy he fought was another stiff. 42-0 give me a break who were they taxi cab drivers from Mexico? this reminds me of Joe Mesa. Makes me wonder if Kosta was even prepared for their first fight.

An average fighter at best? You dont know sh!t about boxing if you think that. He might not be elite but to say hes average at best is just dumb.

Durango is a quality fighter. Who gives a sh!t if he isnt the fastest guy in the world. Hes strong as a bull and a very determined fighter.

Hatton got a quality win Sat night.

This is twice now i have seen him fight and he holds way to much and should be called on it. It wasnt as bad in this fight as the first (which he lost by the way but got a bogus decision )but its brutal to watch. He is okay but he isn't anything special. Reminds me of all the hype Joe Mesa got and i knew he was average to. Im not impressed at all. If he had all these guts they say he has he wouldn't hold every dam time he is finished throwing a punch. Like i said just tough to watch.

Hatton is a great fighter, but I have to agree, the constant holding is getting way out of hand

I think he picked up that style while training for Tzsyu b/c he never held that much before

The Tzsyu fight was pathetic, Hatton looked like John Ruiz in there

Not sure what everyone sees that makes him a "great fighter" Looks to me he gets hit kinda easy and last fight it looked like the other fighter exposed a big weakness and its shots to the body. For what ever reason after hurting him with body blows a few times he stopped it all together. This isn't a great fighter. A good decent fighter that is it in my humble opinion.

The Collazo fight was close, very close, but it wasnt a bogus decision. Collazo probably even got the better of him but Hatton scored more. I had Hatton winning by one point after he lost the
12th. Ya got to cut him some slack though, he went up in weight and in his first fight he took on a beltholder who is a very good fighter.

Hatton fights better when he is pissed off. Like before the Tszyu fight when he thought he was getting no respect.

Yeah he holds alot but alot of fighters do. Im not saying hes great but to say hes decent at best is just silly.
