      people just love to throw "ducking" around the first chance they get

      if garcia drops the belt instead of facing matthyesse then you claim he's ducking him

        Didn't Judah's win over Mathysse and his most recent win over Paris make him the mando ?

          If he truly wanted the fight, it would be happening. Blaming it on the promoter is simply taking the easy way out. Couple that with his comments on lucas, he's made it clear he doesnt want the fight

              No, lucas' win over Ajose made him the mando

              How could his "win" over Lucas make him a mando when he had a loss to Khan right after that?

                you're not the only person around here that bets. I don't remember Morales being a dog in that fight period. You highlighted what I posted and said I was wrong, what am I just supposed to take your word for it ? I haven't seen the fight in a while but i think HBO even mentioned Morales being the favorite to win.

                  garcia is most definately ducking lucas... the biggest proof of this is what he said about matthysse... and anywaus, judah like are you serious? If he fought Judah a year ago id be fine with it, but now garcia has established himself as the "top dog" at 140, he should not be fighting judah, he should be fighting matthysse, rios, peterson, maidana or a khan rematch

                    Well he was. If you want me to go back in time and take a pic of the odds, you're out of luck because i am not capable of time travel

                    Molares was NOT the favorite

                      Here you go:

                      It is, in truth, a rematch that feels entirely unnecessary; a Golden Boy-friendly reprise of a contest that, by consensus, appeared to be settled fairly decisively the last time out. The bookmakers agree. Going into the first fight, back in March, Garcia (24-0, 15 KOs), eventually went off at around -315, having been backed in from the -200 originally available. On the back of a couple of momentum-gathering wins, either against guys with a modicum of name value and credibility that he expected to be beaten handily (see: 2011's Nate Campbell - Garcia was a -1100 lock), to fights that put him firmly on the radar (Kendall Holt, for which he was a marginal -130 shot), Garcia was a deserved favourite, but not a prohibitive one. Morales (52-8, 36 KOs), meanwhile, was fresh - or at least as fresh as a near-60 fight veteran could have been - from an unexpectedly spirited showing against Maidana (Morales was a +475 outsider) and a -1100 win over Cano. Though eventually settled as a +250 losing bet, many gave him a chance to pull the upset.

                      Tom Craze breaks down Saturday night’s boxing debut at the new Barclays Center, featuring Garcia-Morales II, Malignaggi-Cano, Alexander-Bailey, and Quillin-N’Jikam.
