taking a shot at -300 with derrick harmon vs tim littles....most won`t remember littles,but,he was a good supermiddleweight back in the early to mid 90`s that got a shot at a title and got k.o`ed in 3 by frankie lyles(lyles was a pretty good,tall lefty fighter who had lost to littles early in both their respective careers)the rub is he has not fought since 1996!....he is 38 years old....harmon is a 6`0 tall lefty boxer whose only losses were to roy jones and tough montell griffin(in his last fight)-i`m sorry;he also lost a split decision to a tall lefty spoiler greg wright early in his career-he really won the decsion....i have seen enough boxing to know that a 38 year old ex-supermiddleweight who has been away from the game for 6 full years should not make his comeback fight vs a top lightheavyweight contender in his prime(harmon is a very young 32-only 22 fights)....that is if he`s serious about his comeback...also coming back vs a tall,slick lefty who went 10 rounds with roy jones and the distance with montell griffin.....if littles is superman,i could lose...but,this guys`s not that far from 40 and believe me,the difference between 30 and 40 is mind boggling(especially if you haven`t fought a real fight in 6 years)....when you get that age,your fast twitch muscles don`t respond the same way....you just can`t get your punches off....remember seeing old ray mercer throwing around 10 punches a round vs klitschko....i can`t figure out why this guy is coming back after 6 years off(unless he`s in financial trouble)....his only losses were to james toney and lyles,but,that was in another life....i wouldn`t jump on this right away...i`m trying to check and see if this guy was in prison or something for 6 years....i`ll get back....
 
that this is just an 8 round fight.....very strange.....tempers my enthusiasm a little...a longer fight favors the younger,sharper guy....i`m still wagering,just not quite as much.still looking for tim littles info....can`t find a damn thing on the internet

you could email Joey at OLY and ask if the 8 round info is right. He might know, but have accidently posted a bad o/u line.
 
montel griffin at -300...came down from -350(refuse to lay over 3-1....actually hate laying 3-1,it`s not smart and i wouldn`t encourage anybody to follow my lead)....am laying these odds with some college football winnings..laying these kinds of odds is like asking to get bungholed and will take you to the poorhouse in a hurry...........g.l.
