"That place" has long been the sewer of the internet, with a history of posing as a watchdog while shilling for crooks that opened books and absconded with player funds in exchange for %'s, to blackmailing books to advertise (I was on an island, at a book, when they played me a tape "Drop your ads and I'll have ghosts fill my forums trashing your place as a "no pay.") I know more than a few people who have been banned after pointing out consistent record discrepancies from their favorite football/baskets/baseball posters. Didn't know they had any posters of value, 99% attention seeking gits and shut-ins, rarely stop by cuz I always feel like I need a shower after I do. Seems like all the turds we flushed out of my old house - for cheating, trash talking, shilling, selling, attention seeking etc -resurface there and become "stars". The guy you mention should get out and see the world, climb out of that gutter, join here where it's intelligent info exchange, and not questions pertaining to scat color and consistency.
GWeasel, Frank, how the hell are you?
Hope all is well.
Excerpts from:
PACMAN to be GOBBLED UP!!
By Sonny Palermo
Maxim - An established principle; a condensed proposition of important practical truth; an axiom of practical wisdom.
There are a number of ?Maxim?s? that I use to safely (read: profitably) navigate my way through the shark-filled (read: sometimes fixed) waters of wagering on boxing.
One of the oldest in my book states:
?A good big man always beats a good little man.?
All you need to know about weights for the bout is this:
Oscar?s first fight was at 134 pounds.
Manny?s was at 107.
That bears repeating ? Manny?s first fight was at 107.
It is too much of a stretch to 147.
In his six bouts at 130 or more, Manny has lost twice, once to Morales and once to Juan Manuel Marquez (yes, he did).
The most he has ever weighed for a fight was 135.
Oscar has fought and won at 160.
Pacquiao has never really had one punch KO power, his KO?s come from a culmination of power shots, and the little power he does have will not carry over to a weight class that is FORTY pounds heavier than where he started his career. He has no one punch that can hurt Oscar, and before he can land multiple shots that might have a cumulative effect, Oscar will hit back and/or move away.
Freddie Roach says that Manny will work the old man?s body, and take Oscar out late in the fight. What he doesn?t say is that Oscar fired him, and it is bitterness talking, not unbiased fight analysis.
What he doesn?t say is that while Manny is trying to get inside Oscar to work the body he is going to be hit in the head harder than he has ever been hit before, by a natural welterweight.
And he is going to be stunned by it.
Oscar?s detractors point to his recent losses, but those came to a much bigger Bernard Hopkins, and the world best pound for pound, Floyd Mayweather Junior. And the Mayweather fight was much closer than many give Oscar credit for.
Manny couldn?t even get in the ring with Hopkins.
This fight will look like Gatti-DeLaHoya: a game challenger, but in the end, underweight and overmatched.
No deep analysis needed here, both are good fighters,
but a good big man always . . .
The play:
Oscar -170
Wagering advice:
If you are in Vegas, or can get action down in Sin City, wait on this one and make your bet Saturday afternoon. Pacquiao fight betting patterns are always the same. He has a rabid fan base, and Las Vegas has a very large Filipino population. If you?re betting on him, bet early. If you?re betting against him ? wait.
The opening odds of 2-1 have already come down, and will continue to do so right up until just before fight time Saturday night, when last minute smart money/wise-guy dough moves in to take advantage of the lowered odds on Oscar.
If you?re betting on-line and can get less than -190, don?t wait too long; it?ll be gone by Saturday afternoon.
And if you like Pacman ? call me. I?ll book ya . . .
