MIGUEL ANGEL COTTO -225
ANTONIO MARGARITO +175

TOTAL ROUNDS - COTTO (o9�-170)
TOTAL ROUNDS - MARGARITO (u9�+135)

I don't understand how that works? who is the underdog?

u have to bet $225 to win $100 on Cotto
If you bet $100 on Margarito and he wins... you win $175

Cotto would be the favorite... by 2 1/4 to 1

Marg is almost a 2-1 dog.

I'm sure a lot of money will come in on Marg so it will even out some, but I doubt all that much.
