On a weekend of upsets, late sub Hector “Puma” Garcia’s win was the biggest with Chris Colbert going down in flames as a 33:1 favorite. In other upsets, 20:1 favorite Kanat Islam, 11:1 favorite Guillermo Rigondeaux, and 7:1 favorite Jerwin Ancajas all took unexpected losses.
There was almost another major upset with 13:1 favorite Josh Taylor. Sportsbook Paddy Power called Taylor’s split decision win over Jack Catterall “a robbery” and they refunded bets on Catterall!
Taking a quick look at this weekend’s odds, Jose Ramirez is a 6:1 favorite over Jose Pedraza, and Chocolatito Gonzales is a slight -150 favorite over JC Martinez.
I wouldn’t bet a dime on it, but I think Pedraza is going to beat Ramirez.
Lucie:
– 6 to 1 odds on Pedraza winning will get you $.60 if you bet a dime on Pedroza 🙂
– Take care.
lol, thanks for the info as always Gary. Maybe I will put a dime on it. Who couldn’t use an extra sixty cents.
Do not spend it all in one place! LOL!
I like RamÃrez and Martinez. Should be some great fights.
Don’t care about the Ramirez fight but Gonzalez vs Martinez is going to great. Going with the underdog. Martinez is young, hungry, can punch and fight all day.
I have that feeling too Pete. I think Martinez might be too young for Chocolotito at this stage. (I am the Canadian Pete) . LOL!
Thats true and hard to argue with. Except Gonzalez is experieneced, hungry and can punch and fight all day.
This really is a toss up. But I got to root for the legendary Gonzalez.
Parlaying favorites is often a good betting strategy. This many major upsets in one weekend is pretty rare.
You are better off taking live underdogs-a loss on a big favorite takes a long time to recover from. Don’t really like parlays-going 1-1 results in a loss instead of an almost push.
Nice to see some bets in favour of Catterall were pay back, because It was a nasty robbery.
