So far I have 2 of 56 for Horn (2 others in the poll are misclicks), which is on pace for the most lopsided poll of the contest

The current lopsided leader is Lomachenko-Sosa which was about 95%-5%, followed by Crawford-Diaz at 93%-7%

bob have you decided if you are gonna have a pick em for Mc vs May? I know it's a farce but I wonder what the poll break down will look like, given the current odds

[Damn Wicked]

It's pretty amusing to see these betting odds. They aren't as wide as I would have guessed. The odds are closer to Porter/Berto level than Stevenson/Fonfara level, which made me wonder if the casinos were a bit high on Jeff Horn for some reason.

Then looking through Pac's odds history, I realized this is about the same as the odds were for Pac-Algieri. It's probably less that there is optimism for Jeff Horn's chances so much as there was a lack of optimism in Fonfara's chances. Which turned out to be justified.

The biggest difference is that Horn is a much better technical boxer than Fonfara and he hasn't been KO'd before. Horn doesn't stand still in front of his opponents like Fonfara does.

I'm not intending to add it at the moment.

Maybe I should do what BoxRec does for 'novelty' fights and make them worth 1/2 as much as a normal fight

Yeah, Fonfara has taken a lot of punches. Plus Fonfara has been blown out in 1 round before. That probably made him seem like a greater risk than Horn, who seems fresher than Fonfara and is on his way up competition wise.

I've watched a few Horn fights now and he's awkward for sure.he has a crazy looking,looping overhand right but nothing like the straight right of JMM or Morales,Pac's getting old for sure but no way I'm betting on Horn
