What is your opinion of tonights fight between Forrest and Baldy

[The Sponge]

I know there was a thread started and i was gonna bump it up but i like to hear what guys think now about the fight. I already have a bet on Baldy but man the 5 inch height and 2 inch reach advantage i may just buy the bet back. I do have a bet on the over at 9.5 rounds with heavy juice. I see a lot of 11.5 with heavy juice. Not sure why Bdog has it at 9.5. Any thoughts guys? Box i basically know where you stand here with the good line you have (alone with scalping)but lets say you didn't have that and wanted to bet the fight now?

Good question, first of all how much juice you layin' on that O 9.5? At 5dimes you can get "fight starts round 10" at -320

I wouldn't play Forrest at -180, maybe a parlay to get even odds, but I know thats not your bag. Forrest will use his height and reach to dominate the early rounds, making Baldy look stupid at times, Forrest's long right hand could hurt him despite the iron jaw. However Baldomir will come on late in the fight when Forrest tires, and Forrest will slow down eventually. Baldy brings constant pressure, makes you work the entire fight. The question is, how long will it take for Forrest to quit throwing punches and start taking punches.

Forrest early...Baldy late...strong lean on a Forrest win due to his multiple advantages

5dimes has points handicap at Forrest -4 -115...thats a pretty good bet

350 was the juice. Let me ask you something. When you take these wagers like plus nine for the fight. What happens if a guy gets knocked out in say round three? Do they add them up from there?

 

[BOXLOCKS]

The points only come into play if the fight goes the distance, if the fight is stopped the winner is the winner

So if you take that bet at Forrest -4 @-115 and he knocks him out in round 11 you lose the bet?

If you take Forrest...and Baldy gets ko'ed...you win

If you take Forrest...and Forrest gets ko'ed...you lose

Just charting the four places i look at it looks like Forrest is moving up in odds. Bdog still has the rounds at 9.5 -350 While the rest have it around 11.5 around -245. Books are pinny, greek, and cris. I find it strange that Bodog has it two rounds cheaper.
