oscar is the man when it comes to a public favorite.....
public says hopkins who?????....
odessa would have a good read on the fight as far as line moves...
btw...sharp money on hopkins at 2-1.... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
That's exactly why I see the line going lower. ODLH had never been an underdog until this fight and I think more and more people will bet him as this fight gets closer. Especially in sich a big fight where so much public money comes in late.

I've been boxing and following boxing for years. Be careful betting on Hopkins--he's really not the same fighter when he beat Trinidad. In fact, he's looked terrible in his last couple of fights. DLH got screwed in Mosley II, and Mosley I was closer than everybody said.

The money in Vegas will pour in on Oscar and they will be tearing up their tickets. Amazing the credit he gets despite never getting the job done in big fights. Sure you can blame the judges, his strategy, or whoever, but the bottom line is this guy never is at his best when on the biggest stage. You have to admire a guy that gets people to look past that and still pay big bucks for tickets and pay per view despite such a humongous flaw.
I will wait until late money pours in on the dog and then lay hopefully around -150 or so.
