Happy NYs Everybody. Here's to another great betting yr!!!
This has hardly been talked about but it's the biggest fight so far of the new year. I have a good BUNDLE on Margo in the -400 -450 range. His advantages are clear...he's bigger, stronger, taller, younger, along with reach and power advants. He's absolutely relentless and won't stop til the final bell. He's a bit crude in technique but I think his advants far outweigh his lack in that dept. Margo arguably has the best chin I've ever seen @147. Mosley is clearly the better skilled fighter and he's fought everybody worth note and then some. He's quicker and certainly more ring savy than Margo. His best days are behind him and he never had easy times with bigger fighters. At his prime best I think he'd still have problems with Margo. My biggest concern for Margo is that Mosley dropped his father and took on Hops trainer. If Mosley could employ a plan that Hop used on Pav then he could have a slight chance. The difference here is that I don't think Mos can change his style after a career of fights. He has NEVER turned down a fire fight and I think his warrior mentality will get the better of him and he can't win a shootout with the beast. I envision a similar fight like Cotto/Margo but I think Margo will get to the aging fighter sooner than he did against the stronger, younger Cotto. Mos can win a few of the early rds due to speed and skills but I see margo taking over by rd 6 and cruising to a late stoppage or clear pts victory. I've considered Margo itd but Mos is awfully tough to get out of there but I won't be shocked if he does. If Margo has a very good rd early on, this won't go the dst. After struggling with Mayo over 12 ( I had the fight close to even), I'll be more than shocked to see Mos pull off the upset.
