Predict The Line For Mayweather/De La Hoya

**rjt721** · 02-15-08, 11:31 PM

Why predict the line when it's been available for some time?

Greek: -230/+190
5Dimes: -240/+200

This is a fight you'd be probably be best served to pass on a side. I thought Floyd clearly won the first meeting (despite the fight being scored a split decision), but Oscar was very competitive despite foolishly abandoning his jab midway through the fight. The presence of Floyd Sr. in DLH's corner can only help, and because both fighters are counter punchers who take few chances there will be many tough rounds to score, meaning Oscar could easily escape with a close decision. If anything, a small play on DLH by decision wouldn't be a bad idea.

Instead, play the over (10.5 -330), which is some of the easiest money you will make all year. While you're at it, play Katsidis -175 over Casamayor, Spinks by decision over Phillips (when the decision prop becomes available), Calzaghe by decision over B-Hop (when the decision prop becomes available) and Woods +100 over Tarver (all lines taken from Greek).

The first fight sucked and i wouldn't waste my time watching the second. What is gonna change? First match looked like a sparring match. I was bored to tears. I have had my fill of Oscar to last five lifetimes.

Katsidis/Casamayor is a tricky fight, I think.

insulting to fight fans that dlh and pfb will get back in the ring and do this again after such a boring first meeting

5dimes is showing the fight to take place in Las Vegas on 9/20/2008, has this date and location been confirmed or just Tonys imagination?

It's confirmed.

**Actionbrett** · 03-05-08, 04:25 PM

MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay or Thomas Mack Center?

I really think these guys will give it another go this year, they should shatter their previous record. I'm backing Money May if it does go down, which I think it will because these guys love money.

Mayweather -300 to -350 I'm thinking? Oscar does get a lot of love though.

this fight won't even get close to the first fight in sales. what will change? Oscar getting the decision?
Who cares?

Whoever likes the idea of making money, for starters.

It's not even chalk when you're betting Money May, there may be a day where somebody knocks him off his throne, but it sure in the hell isn't going to be Oscar De La Hoya. Money May is far too quick and skilled a boxer, Oscar getting a vote last fight was nothing short of a travesty and EVEN Max Kellerman said that.
