    Saturday several linemakers stated that even though they set the lines for most boxing events, that they couldn't answer my question as to why a public line hasn't been posted and bets aren't available yet. There are plenty of rumors and speculation, but nothing solid and no press release has been issued regarding this. The information I did receive is that Paul Williams will be -180 (or higher) when most sportsbooks open the betting. The delay for an open betting line this close to fight time with no press release as to why has got to be the strangest I can remember in sometime. Also, this is a main event feature of the year. You have Winky who is not the biggest crowd pleasing fighter due to his style, also having such a long lay-off and being 37 doesn't help. Then you have Paul Williams, who people either tout him as possibly the best pound-for-pound fighter and most feared, or just way too much hype. With all that said, the only reason I can see him being less than a 2-1 favorite is that he is moving up to Winky's natural weight and higher than he is accustomed to, and Mosley KO'd a fighter he didn't, which brings in the question of how he would fair against a naturally bigger guy. Questions soon to be answered...

With all that said, the only reason I can see him being less than a 2-1 favorite is that he is moving up to Winky's natural weight and higher than he is accustomed to, and Mosley KO'd a fighter he didn't, which brings in the question of how he would fair against a naturally bigger guy. Questions soon to be answered...

    Hey what ever happen to Omar?  That's a great shot!

    A young boy from Michael's crew, Kenard, follows Omar to a Korean owned convenience store. Omar sees Kenard walk in, but seeing just a little boy, pays no attention to him. Kenard shoots Omar in the side of the head, killing him. This brings closure to some of the foreshadowing in Season 3, as Kenard was the young boy Bunk witnessed imitating Omar at the Barksdale stash house shootout.
    A brief prequel released before season five and on the season five DVD set features a young Omar, his brother Anthony, and an unidentified older boy planning and executing a robbery of a man at a bus stop in 1985 Baltimore.

    What they are waiting on is a few of the top boxing handicappers (who wager, not get paid for making lines) to offer their opinions regarding his fight. They have got some contradicting information among several handicappers, everything from weight class, to lay-off time, etc.., the major issue is they want to get a media look at the current weights of each fighter in training camp, this way they can better assess what kind of pace and structure the fight will take on. Watching Williams in training they are curious to know if he is going to be fighting short (crouching), and not utilizing his height advantage. If he is to use his height advantage, and box and move, then the line would be much different. It seems to be the case that we can expect Williams to make mistakes as he feels Winky doesn't have the offense to hurt and effect his tactics. Winky is a master of defense, and often frustrates many fighters. I've watched Williams again and again, and he seems to learn every fight, and seems very patient. Any news I hear about, I will post when I get it.

    Fuck Kenard. I wish they'd had Michael do it. Or hell, they could have brought Mouzone back.

    With the wait, there are going to be some serious swings in this line when it comes out. Winky fans and a few sharps would probably pound the crap out of getting him at +150.

    I think Williams wins, but -180 is steep. Then again, I've haven't had a good grip on The Punisher bettingwise...

    when was the last time winky was in the ring? was it against Hopkins? Anyways Paul Williams needs to build up his stamina, cuz last time watching him fight for all 12 rounds, he looked like he just gave up.

    Winky looked like he was finished in his last fight vs Hopkins (actually they both did and somehow Hopkins was not)

    I think anything under -200 is kind of a bargain. I like WIlliams

    Your welcome. I've tried to keep updated with this site and posting any information I get regarding this and other fights. It has been difficult to squeeze information regarding this fight. I have my analysis which I will post at a later date, but I'd still like to get some definitive information as to why it has taken so mcuh time for a line to be set, any training camp information, and a review of Winky's and Williams last 5 or so fights. If anyone gets a heads-up, a post would be appreciated.

    I think the irony of a little youngster who admired Omar, shows a little more of what you reap you will sow. The fact that Michael didn't do it, but now he has become the new area Omar, shows that it doesn't matter who you are or what you accomplish, the game goes on with or without you. You can make your mark, but it fades in time... Checkmate!

    You're right of course. Truth be told, even with the basis in facts, Omar's entire run, especially toward the end, was improbable. His end had to come one way or another. Anything else would have been hero worship.

    Sorry to clutter your thread. Loved The Wire.

    Actually my cousin told me about "The Wire" ever since it came out. He said it never really had a down season like many shows do. I thought that the swing in season 2 was a different approach, and the deeper end of politics in season 4 was a little much. I don't watch many TV shows, but when I do I tend to run the gauntlet. I first watched "The Wire" less the 5 weeks ago, then just watched them all in order watching a few episodes a day, so I can't say I'm a long time fan, Here is a note that most of you fans probably know that I found interesting.
     
    {During the counter-terrorism briefing, Carver jokes that terrorists "got jacked by Apex's crew." Apex was a real stick-up man in Baltimore in the 1990s whom Ed Burns met, and was one of several inspirations for Omar Little.}

    On topic... are lines ever going to be posted for this weekend? The lightweight tourney must be scaring oddsmakers silly, lmfao...

    Off topic... I'm guessing that line was from Season 5, since that's the only one I haven't watched yet in full (just cheated with youtube clips.)

    The big dude who played "Donnie" (brought Omar a knife when he was locked up in Season 4, got killed in the apartment shootout in Seasn 5) was another real life Omar source. Also the pastor who helped Cutty start his gym was a player back in the 70s and 80s.

    Ed Burns really got the community involved in the show. Not many producers are willing to do that.

    Winky & Paul have been the most avoided fighters for many reasons. I'm gonna watch the Taylor vs Wright fight again. I thought Taylor's physical abilities helped him make it a close fight, because strategy was all Winky. When Winky had him cornered, he picked Taylor off, when Taylor was center ring and was able to let his hands fly, he was able to connect. I thought Winky's attitude after the draw was suprising, he acted like he dominated the fight, I though he would have had a much more mature attitude. By facial appearances, he looked quite beat. Before hitting the tapes, I still feel that Williams will be able to work the body early, and his respect for Winky's power won't be as much as one would think. He hasn't knocked out anyone in over 7 years. Williams is a fighter who will listen to his corner, make adjustments, and keep his control... very impressive for a young fighter with so much offensive ability to work a game plan and not just go out to KO his opponent, he seems more content to break-down his opponent. That's an attribute many fighters in their 30's finally learn, and it's why you have so many fighters of that age that are over 30 years old, and just 15 years back was considered over-the-hill in terms of age. Maturity has really shown growth to boxing, and as long as you don't abuse your body, or have been in too many toe-to-toe battles, you can have long and successful career. Although, I still wouldn't recommend the sport to anyone, the constant head trauma plays a big toll in the short and long term effects. I'll be back with a post after I watch the replays, and if they ever post a betting line!!!

    Dear G8RB8,

    The fight in unofficially schedule for 2009-04-11 Ronald Wright at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. But... there's not enough information available yet to post a line. That doesn't mean we are not going to have a line at all, but, you are going to have to check later on, see if we post any line up. As per the wagering department, we do not yet have an exact date on when it will be posted.

    Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

    G8RB8:
    Not enough information, I think it's a matter of preference, the only information you are lacking is no other sportsbook have a posted line. It seems no sportsbook wanted to post so early, so if the public bet heavily one way with a fighter, they could get severely middled.
    Tell me this then, what information is lacking in this fight that other fights normally need to post a line?

    You're telling me, this is bullshit. . .  5Dimes has shit posted before the fights are even set in stone all the time (Haye/Klitschko line was posted 3 days before contract, and Mayweather/DLH 2 lines were posted well before the papers were signed). 

    Annoying. . .  this fight is next freaking weekend. . .  and I can't figure out why they're waiting

    Ill explain this for you all...One you are right, nobody has posted a line so no one is going to take a risk to get middled. Second two factors play in, if they post williams to low then he will get hammered on and second nobody knows how wink is going to come in weight.....If winky looks good and is +250 and higher then trust me I am on him

Second two factors play in, if they post williams to low then he will get hammered on and second nobody knows how wink is going to come in weight.....If winky looks good and is +250 and higher then trust me I am on him

    Pdub will be in the -160 to -200 range. . .  no way Wright is that high.

    I was high on Williams once I heard about this fight, but the more I keep thinking, the more I believe Winky knows something we all don't.  Just the fact that there isn't a tune up fight, and he's walking right into someone no one wants to fight should make everyone scratch their head. . .  it's not like Paul is a major payday, or a big name to the public to get the attention.  I see no other reason for taking this fight unless Winky knows it's one he can win.

    if paul williams is on the -160 to -200 range he is going to get lit up with action....Winky's inactivity will promote the betting as well as the fact that the media believes he is the most feared fighter in boxing.......way to low...I say -280 williams +240 winky
