Shane Mosley Is A 4:1 Underdog, How Can He Win?

[Bhopreign]

I dont know why people put attetion to the odds. Those odds are based on how many people bet on who ever fighter, they are not made by boxing experts.

Anyways, if mosley comes in top shape, and avoids getting tire he have a chance of winning a D, but i think he is down hill now, he look like ass against Mayorga. Isnt that funny, He look better losing to Cotto than Koing Mayorga. I think Margarito will impose his will, if he is not damage by all the punches he ate against Cotto, he will win,a SD!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand odds and how they work, I've bet on many things, oddsmakers come up with the original odds and then the public take over from there. If experts came up with odds it wouldnt fair better in this theater of the unexpected.

Shane should box like the posters above said and instead of running he should cleverly use the clinch to force a break. Why Cotto didn't do that when Tony had him cornered I'll never know. Cotto uses the clinch and he wins a decision over Tony in their first fight, IMHO.

I just dont like the way odds runs. I mean do you really as a knowledgeble boxing fan, think that Mosley only have a 20% chances of winning? I think thats a bit ridiculous!!!!!

Margarito fights at only 1 pace and 1 direction....Mosley is more adaptable...

He looked better against Cotto because it was a close outcome than others expected in which Shane could have won had he win 2 extra rounds. I also believe the 7 pounds extra against Mayorga made him sluggish...

this fight will be at 147, so I wont be surprised if Mosley takes it....

Well after the oddmakers come up with the odds, the sportsbook or bookie can and do adjust the odds to their liking also when they see how bets are placed. So the sportsbook obviously think Margo will win by these odds and want people to bet on Mosley, by giving such odds making a person look at the reward instead of what would actually happen. Its like making the odds 100:1 for Mosley, people would jump on that, but in reality the fight will end one way whether the odds are 100:1 or 2:1, its like throwing a worm baited line out to a fish.

Pacquiao was an underdog against Oscar. It was labeled as a joke fight and circus act.

How did Pacquiao win?

I said give reasons based on styles and what we have seen before. We have seen Oscar beat to the punch before and have trouble with movement. Not that I picked Pacquiao but thats why I asked for scenarios, to get everything out there.
