I see the fight as being overly tactical and, as such, not particularly compelling. However, if Oscar can use his size to back Floyd up, it could get interesting. But If Floyd begins to punish Oscar with quick in- and-out shots, it could get interesting from another perspective. Still, styles can make fights, and the two styles here suggest a less than exciting fight. I hope I am wrong.
Odds: a lean toward Mayweather. 7-5 or 6-5.
Just my opinion.

No offense intended. I think the odds will be close to even come fight time. Today's odds are not that meaningful for a bettor unless you can get Oscar at 3-1 or something similar. He is worth the gamble. IMO. Also, I do all my own handicapping. If I start looking around, I get confused by too many differnt takes. Of cousre, if they are all the sam, that is important. I handicap for a few others, but mostly for myself as I tend to be an active bettor. Always have been. It adds to the excitement.
Sometimes in Boxing, "professional handicapers" can have an oxymoronic meaning. Some of the more intelligent posters are just as capable. But it requires complete detachment from emotion.
Ugh. Excuse the typos.
I do my own odds as well, on my sports book, why don't you play?Quote:
