    Wanna Make Some Money?

    Bet on Flores tonight. Oddsmakers are no different than casual fans that dont know boxing. They mostly go on what they saw last because like many they dont study boxing. People get caught up in Wilson because he has produced some knockouts, but somehow forget how most that he has produced he was losing badly on the cards before he got the stoppage. Flores is the underdog, if you want to make some dough hurry up and place your wagers.

      I don't think it's a safe bet because Wilson always has that KO power.

      Like you said he has been behind on the cards and chances are he will be behind on cards even today but he could pull off another comeback KO at any moment.

      BJ Flores is still unproven.

        Ive been watching lines for long enough to know that they arnt much different than casual fans. They are the ones that come with the initial line and then wagers change it. People that knew boxing thought Hop would beat Tarver, well he was a 3-1 dog,I even think Hop was an underdog in the Winky fight, I can name many fights like that.

          I think Flores is a very live underdog, but the difference in quality of competition between him and Wilson is staggering. If I had seem more of Flores I might have taken a chance on him.

              You don't really know much of what you are talking about. Hopkins was the underdog to Wright but there was a good reason for that, people were betting the hell out of Wright. Sportsbook make a fortune on a lot of people who think they are genius's.

                Yeah Ok, Ive been following them for some time now. Sportsbook make money on people who dont study the craft of handicapping. Funny you didnt say who you think is gonna win tonight. The inital odds had Winky as a -110 favorite. Didnt take betters to do that. Do research before you open your mouth again.

                  I've never seen the guy fight. If he's durable and has a good right hand then he should have a chance. Because Wilson relies heavily on his power, and he's got a slow measuring jab that can be countered over the top.

                    You can follow them as long as you want to. I don't really care who wins tonight. There's to many unknowns about Flores which is why he is the underdog. The guy who makes the lines for most of these books is far above your typical fan, FAR above it.
