    I Noticed Not Many Are Really Backing Joe

    Not like they did Hatton against Floyd, it was crazy. Im starting to think people dont wanna put their foot in their mouth because of what happened to Ricky. Strange because Ricky was an underdog and Cal isnt, you would think more would be tooting the horn of Joe like they did Ricky, unless Joe just isnt that popular or loved as Ricky.

    I originally bet on Hopkins when the fight was first signed... I am now regretting it, much like I was regretting R. Marquez over Vazquez III and Taylor over Pavlik II in the closing weeks.

      Hatton is a bigger star. This is Joe's first fight in the USA. Also, Floyd & Hatton had their 24/7 series.

        Hardcore, serious heads wait until the've at least seen all press conferences, public workouts, reports, and the weigh in.. No bets until 24-48 hours remaining or less, unless certain odds absolutely must be capitalized on.

              Nah, nobody looks good against Winky, you need to realize also nobody has made Winky look like that before. Same will happen here, Joe will be missing so many shots. Alot of times thats how judges sway away from a fighter, when he does things they arnt use to seeing from him. Its all about composure, Winky had a draw against Taylor because nobody had ever seen Winky's face look like that before, Taylor got the benefit of the doubt in that sense.

                People will root for anyone who fights Floyd cuz they'd give anything to see him lose. I don't know anyone who was willin to bet on Hatton but almost everyone was rooting for him. Joe C has a damn good chance of taking the LHW title, but Bernard is one of those fighters you hate to bet against cuz no matter how he does it or how ugly/boring it might be, B-Hop is a guy who just doesn't lose. Barring those 2 Taylor decisions of course which almost nobody agreed with.

                  Remember how Hop looked against Tarver, how bulked he was, I cant imagine Joe showing any muscle, he never does, of course that doesnt win fighs but Joe should look smaller than Hop, I hope Hop bullies him around and makes it dirty.

                    I clearly need to get in that habit, considering I have been regretful of 3 bets I made early.
