Selection: Less Than 9 Rounds
Odds: 1.800
Stake: 400
Advice:In our opinion Antonio Margarito (W32-L4-D0) is the best Welterweight in the world right now, bar NONE, and his February 18th opponent Manuel "Shotgun" Gomez (W28-L10-D2) stands no chance whatsoever of hindering the chances of Margarito getting his hands on "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather (W35-L0-D0).
Margarito is one of the roughest-toughest fighters in any weight division. He dismantled the unbeaten Kermit Cintron (W25-L1-D0) over five one-sided frames in his last outing, and prior to that had hit Sebastian Andres Lujan (W24-L3-D2) with such ferocity that he ripped the ear of Lujan completely in two.
His work rate is phenomenal, usually opting for "Quantity" rather than "Quality" punching. He will completely dominate Gomez (Who is naturally a light middleweight) in this one stopping his fellow countryman within the first seven rounds.
Playing on the safe side we have opted to take up Bet & Win again with their 1.80 offering that this one ends before the start of the 10th.
Other sportsbooks have this one chalked up at over & under 7.5 completed rounds at prices ranging from 1.85 to 2.10. Stick to Bet & Win who allow us an extra 4.5 minutes of ring action for the bout to be stopped.
