Witter is -170. I haven't seen much of him but that seems way too low. Didn't he knock Vivian Harris the hell out in his last fight?

And didn't Hop get a gift vs Forbes in his last bout?

The fight is in California. Interestingly enough another GBP gift decision Casamayor is fighting the on the same card, he's +120 vs Katsidis, which I think is too low.

It seems the bookies are taking GBP corruption into account?

the forbes decision was just horrible....i was checking boxrec and were these the official scores?..i remember thinking it was a horrible decision...but,i don`t remember the scores being this far fetched....

judge: Robert Hoyle 118-110 | judge: Glenn Trowbridge 118-110 | judge: Dalby Shirley 117-111

those scores were downright nauseating...

I don't think the dec was the robbery of the century but the wide scoring indicated it was a GBP dec. I had good money on Hop but I thought he lost by a somewhat narrow margin. I think on the RBR many thought it was somewhat close but that Forbes deserved the W. I like Witter in this fight because what Hop indicated to me was that he didn't show a fighters heart in the Forbes fight. When the going got tough he didn't come through and give a good effort to win the fight. He simply got the benefit of bad scoring.

I like Kasidas over Casa. Casa is clearly not the same fighter he was a few yrs ago. A prime Casa wins this one but he is far removed. I bet A TON on Casa over delacruz and got the gift of the century. At this stage, I don't think casa can deal w/a busy fighter that has some pop.

Didn't see the Forbes fight but the forums I read described it as you did, a close fight for Forbes with dreadful score margins.

I re-watched Katsidis-Amonsot, this guy is legit.

To my surprise, Witter is promoted by GBP which is good news. I don't know why they would pit him against Hopkins.

I'll probably end up playing both Katsidis and Witter. Small KO prop on both. Tiny draw bets on both as well.

My conspiracy fears for Mayweather-Hatton were way off lol, hopefully this one goes off legit.
