Matthew Macklin vs Sergio Gabriel Martínez
WBC Diamond Middleweight Title -12 Rounds
Madison Square Garden - New York, New York
Martínez (-1200) vs Macklin(+800)
Total Rounds (Under -110) 9.5 (Over -110)
Although this will be the 3rd straight European fighter the Argentinean has faced, at least Macklin faced a known top contender. He lost a SD to Felix Sturm. If I was Sturm, and I saw who the judges were, I think I might have passed on the fight.
Judges: Levi Martinez 115-113 | Roberto Ramirez Sr. 112-116 | Jose Ignacio Martinez 112-116
Two out of three had the same last name as Sergio... although it may have been of no consequence, having any judge scoring is risky enough, yet having possible family members scoring (joking).
I found an interesting prop. It was interesting because of the payout. In other sports when my line is extremely different, I take the view that offshore and vegas no something I don't. When it comes to parimutuel pools, I don't care how different my line is because it's people against each other and the house takes a percentage (poker, horse racing, etc...). Boxing is not the same, but it is a far cry from NFL linesmakers.
He rarely posts anymore on Covers but occasionally reads is Strykor. He gave me this play last year.

RUSLAN PROVODNIKOV vs MAURICIO HERRERA.
Herrera +800 (0.5 Units)
Over 7 Rnds -130 (2.5 Units)
I feel an over, Ruslan has fought many journey-men. So I don't know if too much of that will slow him down. That's why the over and Herrera for a shot."
