Yes, you are right, sometimes it is not worth betting on shakur, all the statistics do not favor him, although to tell the truth many times the numbers can fail, from a sporting point of view, I know that when one prepares very well for a fight , the result is usually quite good regardless of the probabilities, that means that a very strong training day and night very hard can surprise even the best boxer with the most experience, also I have seen that Shakur has a lot of speed for the blows What can fail him is strength, and I think that is the point that can make him lose.
For sure both fighter are preparing for this big fight, statistics sometimes may not properly justify the full potential of a fighter and some statistics are overrated might as well to look back for the video of a fighters past and recent fights and assess what does the fighter really capable of and not capable of inside the ring whoever the opponents that he may fight in his future fights. But past records of a fighter could be also a good basis for finding which one does good for betting too. However looking at the fighters I think Herring did say it right that their fight will be a hard fight for Stevenson/
Of course, he would say that because he is confident that he will win the fight, however, the bookies will only base the odds on what people think about this fight and I'm sure they'll ask all the fans about this fight, the majority will favor Stevenson, but it doesn't mean he is guaranteed to win, that's why as a better we are gambling on that possibility.
Honestly, this match is really exciting as although we have a clear favorite to win here but most of us here believe that Herring can pull an upset. I don't know if I can watch this fight live but I'll try to find a way to watch its streaming if it's available.
I hope someone would share some link, paid or free once this fight will happen.
Here's some information, I don't know how to avail of the subscription.
