When cherypick goes wrong; Cotto tasted some of Martinez's bitterness

[apollo creed]

Overwhelming majority of boxing forum participants are no specialists, but even on this forum quite a few people were picking Cotto.

I was talking about specialists, not fans. I was saying that Roach could see that Martinez was shot.

You douche. Who the hell do you think the bookies go to get odds? Yeah, I'm sure Vegas is in the business to lose money that's why they get complete idiots to make up the odds.

You are a complete idiot. Odds are based on demand. If people are willing to bet on Martinez against Cotto or on Cotto against Ali, bookies will be happy to support that. They just need more money in the game. If majority of casual gamblers thinks that Martinez would win, bookies won't have odds based on an opposite opinion of a few specialists.

Yup.

Yup.

So you guys are not only dismissing the betting odds, but also the predictions articulated by the media?

Get lost.

Cotto's cherry pick was that bad. Bernard Hopkins cherry pick however sent him head over heels.

Nope! Whilst you keep responding to my posts, you're essentially granting me permission to comment on yours.

Bernard wasn't cherry picking. He was that cherry picked by Smith.
