I love Adrian Granados, but I hate his price in this fight. Granados won
me money against Amir Imam in his last bettable fight as a +900
underdog in 2015, and I was hoping that he'd be a bigger dog against
Adrien Broner than the +250 or +260 where it's at now. I think it's
significant that Broner changed the weight of this contest from a
catchweight of 142 pounds to 147 pounds the other day which Granados had
to agree to as the b-side fighter. I think that's in Broner's favor as
he is the one that asked for it and he's naturally the more heavily
muscled man, especially in the torso and arms.
Based on the press
conferences, Broner has also been sounding like he's taken his training
camp seriously and not caught up in personal drama this time around,
also something that Granados might have taken advantage of. I'm sure
that Granados is going to be very game, and I feel compelled to put a
bet on him as one of my favorite boxers and also due to his high
pressure swarmer style which may tend to stifle Broner's output at
points. I'm definitely going to hedge with Broner late stoppage and also
by split and majority decision, as Granados tends to get at least one
judge on his side in all of his four losses.
