Wish I had known Conway was the betting favorite. When Sparrow gets in shape and takes his career seriously, he’s no walk-in-the-park for anyone. Hats off to trainer Rashiem Jefferson, who got him in shape and down to 126.5 pounds, the lightest Sparrow has been since he turned pro midway through 2014. Sparrow just turned 28.
Sparrow was the favorite at Bovada and probably all of the others.
Totally agree, picked Sparrow to win. Sparrow when prepared is a handful!!
