Wow, I've been waiting for a thread like this to show up... maybe they have in the past but i've never seen them. (and i never made one... my bad) . .
I got hopkins, I do fear the king influence as well, but I with Odds, I like Hopkins here. Cloud struggled in my opinion against G.Johnson, and though its a completely different fighter than Bhop, I think it showed his weakness against experience. (granted that was some time ago).
I also threw a bit on Gurerro... just for the odds. and Am debating throwing some down on
Also threw some on Zaveck to keep it interesting, and he'll definately be game for this one.
Might see what long shots are out there and put together a coupl dollar parley. one of those bet a buck to win a couple grand deals.

Mendez -170 wins. Need Thurman for the last leg of a parlay. Need Thurman and Hopkins OVER for the other.

Call me crazy but I parlayed Bhop-Cloud a draw and Zaveck stopping Thurman. I know it's pretty out there, but it's a small risk for a big reward. I'm getting the same vibe off this as with the first Pascal fight (which I predicted a draw back then). Hopkins can hang in there but Cloud can't push the clever fox over the dge. With King involved I would be a bit hesitant to go with Hopkins outright, and a draw, rather than an outright robbery, would set up another nice pay day for all with a certain rematch. BHop doens't have enough to make it a shut out me thinks, so it'll be close on the cards in any case.
As for Thurman, remember Mr. Lemieux? I was and still am a fan of his, but the hype caught up with him. Now I know Thurman and him aren't very comparable, but they were both highly touted for their power (90% ko ratio), around the same age and amount of pro fights, though I do think Thurman's had a bit more scrutiny put on him and is much more level-headed. Zaveck is Thurman's Rubio - a tough veteran workhorse who won't lay down at the first hard punch and will bring the fight to you.
Anyway, I'm not holding this up as the gospel. I may very well be completely wrong and in most probability there won't be any surprises. But if there are I'm ready.

I think Zaveck will push Thurman to the edge but the HBO hype and push for him to succeed could result in a controversial decision. If those two happen though, you will probably be making huge scratch.
