Later man, good work today. The small ring sealed it for me to add more. You just never know about these built up killers, they seem to either disappoint greatly or look like a monster; either way, the under at + money is always worth a look with them.

Well, off to a solid start this year. Last Friday was a blast. Hope to keep it going.
[b]YTD: +2.16* 2.1* Margarito/ Mosley O10.5 -105[/b] (Locked in three weeks ago.)
I won't rehash what you've read on every boxing website for the past month. Bottom line, this is a play on Tony's chin and Shane's willpower. I never thought that Shane would make beating Mayorga look as easy as Oscar and Tito did, and the principle argument for Shane being in deep decline seems to be based largely on his failure to score a quick KO in that fight. But before Mayorga, all Shane had done was go a strong twelve with Miguel Cotto, and completely outclass Luis Collazo. You know, the guy who just took Andre Berto to hell and back.
My guess is that Margarito's weight issues have been... here it comes... blown somewhat out of proportion. It also seems that the Cintron fights cured his slow fuse to a degree. But situationally, Shane has just as much if not more to be fighting for than Tony, with a marred reputation in the sport and very few fights left if he loses. That desire, along with a career's worth of experience, gets him the distance this Saturday.
Probably will play a few props, and still need to look at Licina - Herrera U7.5.

Not forcing anything tonight, just going to be an interested spectator. The upside in my book is with Ngoudjo, even though I've never been strongly impressed by him. His chin isn't the best to say the least, but his stamina always seems to guide him through rough spots. I don't see him getting served up home cooking tonight post-Bute - Andrade, but the fans will still be there cheering for him, which can be huge in a tough fight like this one will be.
Obviously Urango can bang, but his stock is riding a little higher than it should be after that "made for TV" KO of Vilches. Everyone saw him hurt Hatton also. Well, we've discovered since that Hatton isn't exactly Superman, and of course he wasn't giving Urango his best effort that night. Ngoudjo knows this is a dangerous fight for him and will be supremely focused. With the right gameplan, he has all the tools to outbox Urango, a jab, length, and a strong straight right hand.
Until I see Urango cutting down the ring against world class opposition, I can't back him in this kind of matchup.
But of course, if I do lay off I'm cheering for the Urango ITD.
