Paulie Ayala looks worth a bet

With a gun to your head you'd have to go for the future hall of famer, but at 10/3 Ayala looks good value.
He's got that high workrate, throws 1000s of punches and has a big heart too.
It's likely to go 12 rounds, and the judges will probably favour Barrera if it's close - but Marco is coming to the end of a long career, and has just had that demoralising defeat. He might find it hard to get up for the Texan too; probably sees him as a B level fighter.....
Maybe Ayala just outworks a fading Barrera? On the other hand, if the Mexican is really up for it, then I'm f****d, but I think Paulie is worth a bet tonight at those odds.
