Thought you might like this...it's from a gambling picks site... "...From a gaming standpoint, Mayweather-Corrales turned out to be an absolutely great bet. I took two strong stances on the battle, opting for Mayweather (-135) to win the fight, and also tabbing Floyd at generous 5-2 odds to win by knockout. The rationale here was threefold. First, I happened to be in the right place at the right time on Thursday afternoon following the final press conference. It was sheer luck that I was waiting for my vehicle at the MGM Grand’s valet parking while Corrales was waiting for his. Meanwhile, along came Mayweather and entourage. Once more, the cackling and razzing from Floyd and friends began. The expression on the face of Corrales was that of resignation, one of those “oh no, not again” looks. I made up my mind at that precise moment that Mayweather had indeed succeeded at getting into Diego’s head. Then came the Friday weigh in. Mayweather was ripped and ready, while Corrales was over the limit by two pounds. Following the aforementioned stint in the sauna, Chico made the weight but the big sweat had clearly taken its toll. Advantage… big advantage… Mayweather. Finally, there was the old horse racing angle that class overcomes all. Floyd has the pedigree of a champion. Corrales came up through the club fight ranks. Add it all up and the bottom line had to point to Mayweather. The potential fatigue factor due to the weight problem made taking the Mayweather by KO prop a no brainer..." LPS5
