actually Rios opened as underdog at +240 for the Peterson fight. When the line closed Rios was about +160 at the Palms. I covered that fight and all everyone was talking about was how he was a big underdog and most people thought Peterson would box his head off.
A line isn't up at the Palms yet. I assume they will have one up by tomorrow for this fight. Most insiders are saying that Acosta will win due to the combination of his speed, boxing ability and power.
As for myself I haven't picked a winner yet. This fight at the moment appears close to 50-50 for me. Acosta has the better boxing ability and speed but Rios is relentless and has more power. It should be a great fight.
When the line comes out in Vegas, Rios will be favored.
Opening line offshore was Rios -120, Acosta -110. It's been moved to -170 Rios, +130 Acosta.
