Do you want a certified lock, but one that will take a month to kick in? (Boxing)

Over 10½ -120
Under 10½ +100

Shane Mosley vs Antonio Margarito.

Mosley has never been knocked out in his entire life, and Margarito has never KO'ed anyone the same size or taller than him. Mosley is an ex-154 lb'er and there's no way whatsoever Margarito knocks him out. Mosley is no Cotto. He's stronger and will stand toe to toe with Margarito, he won't try to exclusively box like Cotto did. And he has an iron chin.

Take the over before this line moves, and I don't know in what direction. Fight is on January 24th.

EDIT: Certified lock was.. too optimistic, at most this would be a very confident pick.

I like the bet, but this is no "certified lock". Margarito is a bad mofo and Mosley is over the hill. He could conceivably get busted up and quit on his stool a la DLH.

Thanks for the heads up though, it does look like a very nice bet.

Yeah there's a big question mark but in my opinion Margo is nowhere near the killer people made him out to be. Cotto had question marks all over him until the Mosley bout, where he won and all of a sudden he was a complete fighter. I knew what was gonna happen against Margarito, and Margarito never does well against people his own size and weight. He lost to Santos, lost Williams, and was losing against Clottey until Clottey broke his hand. Also Mosley was outweighed agaisnt Mayorga, and played it way too conservative trying to avoid the big wild shot. This is the most important fight of his life AND Margarito, along with many others, might think Mosley is done because of his age.

i like sugar shane to go the distance. he was always a favourite of mine in his prime, and i still think he has what it takes to be competitive against the elite fighters.
