This man brought his lunch pail and got to work. Lopez had less speed, power and athleticism and still pushed a rusty Thurman to the limit in that round. Kudos to J.L. for being a warrior.
18-1?!... I’m thinking the chance that Thurman retires with an injury should not be much more than that. Plus, as someone already mentioned in another thread, Thurman doesn’t really look that good. Worth chancing a C note perhaps.
Any legal website where I can put my money where my mouth is?
Fans should be able to do so even if just for fun. $10 to $50 range.
That's what I was looking for. I could go downtown but don't want to leave the house lol.
Anyway I don’t bet with my heart or by the odds meaning sometimes when it’s too good to be true well it really is
I’m thinking a late ko by Thurman
Once he shakes the rust off and begins timing him
My exact prediction in the pick em...
...but not necessarily how I wagered tho!
If you are asking me who I think will win, that's available for anyone to see in the pick em thread.
Normally, that would be all I would have to say on this.
But this fight has almost lottery odds.
I never expect to win that either but I often play it anyway.

This sort of **** pains me. Has anyone researched this? The guy lost 7 times. He's 34. His most significant win is against a shot fighter who he was down on all cards before he caught him with a shot with his mouth open. He gets credit for the win. But he got lucky vs a shot guy. Hes not even a ko fighter. Its not like he was setting ortiz up for the ko. Even if thurman took 4 years off he would destroy this guy. If he had some sort of power i would say ok he has a shot. This guy is a 140 lber. He's just tall and couldn't make the weight. The question isnt rather thurman wins but its how he looks and what round if any does he get him outta there. 100 bucks on a dream. Nah. In boxing we have these upsets but its usually some undefeated fighter from some poor country getting a shot. Prime example indongo. Those are the guys you put money on facing some rising prospect the jury is still out on. Not someone we know is a C level fighter taking on someone who beat 2 of the top WWs in the division. Id say Porter and Garcia were top 5. And he won convincingly to me. Save your money. Oh even that pablo Cano fight was worthy because if you know boxing you know Cano wasnt horrible and he was the bigger man. So at least he had some advantage. This guy lopez has zero advantage. Reach the same, older, no power, no chance.
I figure in boxing once you get down to about 20/1 sorta territory you almost might as well. There's probably about that sort of chance in any given fight of the favourite tearing something or a ridiculous haematoma from a legal punch or some of the other weirdness that we sometimes see - hell even a lucky punch.. thing is there's always a chance and at those kinda odds? Well... I hardly ever bet and I'm giving it serious thought.
Exactly.
It isn't that you think something is likely.
With certain odds, poissible is enough.
Here, we have a guy who at his sharpest was vulnerable to the body coming off a 2 year layoff.
Too good to pass up, even when common sense tells you it shouldn't matter.
I am saying that gambling sometimes comes down to pure chance.
And this is a risk/reward situation that is worth a small risk in lieu of the large reward.

Great breakdown DoubleMM, you smoking some good shii
I agree with this analysis somewhat.
But, I think that Josecito MUST also find his way to Thurman's body during the fight to give himself even a small chance of winning.
I think that is just as important or more important than what was laid out in the video.

I never expect to win that either but I often play it anyway.If someone is actually expecting to lose then bet on Lopez because he is almost certain to lose. To each his own but I only bet on the fighter I think will win. I never bet on the fighter I think will lose no matter how good the odds are. There will be lots of money bet on Lopez because of the good odds and that helps those gambling places get rich.
