Have to take a tiny shot with Murray. Rios did not eat for 5 days and only had 4oz of water during that time trying to make weight.

yes I have cotto huge in this fight - any info on the under card would be appreciated as I bought the fight and want a little action

If you're gonna play dogs, just play Chisora, Agbeko, and Rodriguez.

Anything else is reaching. Moreno's live, but the odds don't reflect his chances. I hear a lot of people pick Marg but that would take a freak accident. That fight is designed for Marg to lose.

But I give props to Arum. On paper, that's a damn good PPV.

Re-match of a Fight of the Year candidate. 2 of his hype job's on the undercard. And the Cotto/Marg drama.

Delvin was always getting screwed by judges so he took a year off before fighting Wolak the first time. Due to that he had ring rust during the early rounds with Wolak and had to adjust to Wolak's pressure. But he took control in the latter portion of the fight. Two judges had it a draw and one had scored it correctly for Delvin.

I thought the first fight was going to be pretty even. The rematch is going to be a close fight but a lot of the questions were answered the first time. Rodriguez has no ring rust this time, and he shouldn't give away the early rounds. I think he'll win by a couple of rounds at least and have bet quite heavily on that. Of course it's possible that Delvin and me get screwed by the judges. So don't blame me if you bet on Rodriguez and lose your house.

I think Wolak is a sentimental favourite, he's very popular due to his style whereas Rodriguez is the opposite, very technical.

Chisora just lost by a split decision.

Now THAT was a robbery. Typical Sauerland bullshit.
