Re: Peters v. McCline
i watched the barrera-hamed match on hbo last night from 2001. i remembered watching prince naseem hamed during his glory days, where he knocked some fool out in 1 or 2 rounds with a devastating uppercut, but the fight with barrera was an ass whooping. afterwards i wiki'ed up both fighters and was shocked to learn that barrera was a 3-1 dog in that fight because hamed was "considered invincible" going in, even though his last few fights had been close. anyway, this has very little to do with the bets on the table this weekend, but it drove home the point that in a sport like boxing with its gambling-rich history and current second tier status, there are occasional spots for a sharp to pound incredibly soft lines for large limits.
