I've never seen a bad decision from him. I know nothing about Metcalfe other than that he is from Canada. The problem here may lie with C.J. Ross. She is one of the two judges who had Timothy Bradley winning the Manny Pacquiao fight. In my opinion, having her judge this fight increases the chances that something unfair will happen. Kenny Bayless is the referee. No problem there as far as I'm concerned, although I would prefer Steve Smoger. Smoger seems to stick to the east coast and other countries.

Im looking into a flight tomorrow but it looks like I will be going to Monterrey to watch the fight. Go down there and talk shit with my boy. Ill keep you posted.

I need to watch the Nelo Trout fight. Probably tomorrow. I was a Trout fan but still surprise some people had him beating Saul. I am honestly still nervous though. Dont know who to bet on. Sure money or upset. Havent looked at the lines yet but it probably wont be worth it to bet Nelo. We will see.

I am getting excited. Eight more days baby.

I can't wait for this fight, counting down the days, I really think Canelo is a very good challenger to beat Mayweather (other than Timothy Bradley) I think this will break the Mayweather vs De La Hoya records too!

The best fight of the night though is Matthysse vs Garcia. I know Matthysse is a heavy favorite, but if Danny Garcia can take some of his shots there's a chance that Matthysse will get fucked out of another decision.

I'm placing my bet Friday morning, the day before the fight. I'm fairly confident that if I shop around I can find -250 odds or even better somewhere. In the past, I have seen the Riviera have odds favorable to the non-Mexican fighter. I have a feeling Gold Coast may be good too.

The best odds I have found are -240 for Mayweather at Gold Coast. Other places are around -270 or -275.

Is there a way to bet for KOs and stoppages before the 12th round? It appears the only bet is choose a winner like a money line bet.

Yes. You can bet for example Mayweather by decision, Alvarez by knockout, etc. You can also bet the fight will go under 11 1/2 rounds or over 11 1/2 rounds. The way I do it if I think the fight will be close and that it will go the distance is make two separate bets, one for the fighter I pick to win and one that the fight will go the distance, that way the only way I completely lose is if Alvarez knocks him out. This also reduces the damage in the event of an unfair decision.

I hope Matthysse beats Garcia. Great undercard fight.

Do you know how to translate those odds into the fractional types ones? Hang on a sec, I'll see if there's a way online. I could, but my numerical skills are dreadful, it's almost like I'm numerically dyslexic!

It means you have to bet $240 to win $100, which means you are getting 1.42 odds.

Ah OK. It's just in Britain, we have like 25/1 for example, which means if you put £1 on, you get £25 back. Or, as is more likely in this case, it would probably be something like 1/3, which means you'd have to put 3 quid on, to get 1 back. Not sure what those U.S odds would be in our system, because as I said...appalling maths skills.

If that's the way you guys do it then you are getting 0.42/1 for every dollar you put in and can probably convert the dollar into the pound.

Ha, I'm sure I (I mean google) can manage that. Not bad odds IMO. Put $100 down, get $142 back. I'd risk that for Mayweather on points, if that was indeed the odds. If it was just for him to win, I'd defo do that.

Looks like heavy late money on Mayweather, 5D has him at -320 now.

What time is the actual fight set to start?

I placed a bet on Mayweather at -260 three hours ago. When I got in line at the MGM Grand, the odds were -240. When it came time to place my bet, the odds had gone up to -260. That line was extremely long. Anyone seeking to place a bet at MGM Grand should probably head there now.

I'm seeing -300 now. That's a ton of money on Money for that to happen. A buddy of mine just saw -325 and decided to pass on that and take a prop bet.

Well, I thought Garcia might be able to take Matthysse's shots, but I didn't think he would win the fight that easily.
