[Boxing] Anderson Silva vs Tito Ortiz on September 11

[Bttzed03]

Odds now for Tito is 6.6 while 1.09 for Anderson. As much as I would like to take on that juicy line for the underdog but I can't see him winning I guess I'll just become a spectator here. I don't expect a KO but Silva should be able to land a lot of stiff jabs while evading haymakers/overhands.

Just don't touch that odds if you don't see even a very small chance that Tito would win this fight. Gambling is fun if you bet on a fighter that you think has a chance, if not, you are just wasting money and you'll not enjoy watching betting on the fighter you are not confident to win.

Maybe look for the handicap betting, that would best suit you, I guess.

Casting my bet for Tito the underdog. Let's hope they will not try to pin down each other forgetting it's boxing or use a kick because of unintentional reflex actions.

Good luck, mate! I did the same



only with slightly better odds.  

Overall I think bettors underestimate the guy. Just watch this short video to see who he really is. He's a beast. Think of Silva as a veteran? Read what they say about Tito in the top comment: "The guys he beat were solid vets, and he smashed em."

Can't wait for the fight to start. Looking forward for an early knockout.

If both fighters were young, I would vote for Anderson Silva. But both are now 46 years old. At this age, it's hard to make an accurate prediction because of the body changes of athletes who might be statistical favourites. Statistics makes me comment that Anderson Silva will win. However, we will see clearly on September 11 who will win.

I mean, time works on both fighters and when it comes to ring rust Anderson has had more recent fights but those were losses and maybe he's spent more... BUT, this is a boxing match and MMA math does not apply here imho. The one thing that does appl is that Anderson is and always was a better striker than Tito.

And since it's a boxing ring, it's more favorable to anyone who has a much better striking stats than to the other who will try to counter each punch that being thrown to him.

In case of Ortiz where we don't know what kind of preparation he did before this fight, there's always a big edge for Silva knowing that he already dealing with this sports way ahead from Ortiz and all those previous fights are wins, that adds up to his confidence and give him much token in the eyes of the fans.

It still depends on how they take care of their body, not because they are already at that age, they won't be fun to watch or they could not give a good fight.  Look at the list of oldest champions in boxing, the oldest was Steve Ward a 61-year-old man.

That is if they have regular routine of exercise/training even before this exhibition match.
But anyway, this is not really a serious match just for entertainment per se.
So won't bet in any of them, just enjoy what's left of them inside the ring.
And see if they still have that power in them to stage exhibition fights and give some entertainment to the fans.

I don't know if anyone saw Tito Ortiz body transformation after losing a bunch of weight in last few weeks, but this is totally crazy and he will not be able to stand long in his feet with Silva.
He must be around 195 pounds or fight may be postponed, and I am betting all my money on Anderson Silva to win unless some miracle happens, and I think fight will not go to distance.
Ortiz said he lost his respect for Anderson Silva for making him lose so much weight in contract, but I think he is just being a politician.

On the Stake sportsbook odds are currently at @1.08 for Anderson Silva vs @5.80 for Tito Ortiz, and I really think I will place a bet on Anderson Silva aka the Spider despite the pretty law payout because the speed of his legendary dodges and of his strikes is just amazing. Tito Ortiz just can't cope with that and what notblox1 said above just takes away his last chances.

I'm amazed at your risky bet. @1.08 is almost nothing to return and it's more painful to lose it in case Silva lose.

I don't have the guts to bet on that odds even Silva is a much more dominant and strong compare to Ortiz. The chances of Ortiz winning is very very slim but in exhibition match, sometimes there are flaws especially at this fight where odds are distant. Good luck to you.

I could do handicap betting if this was a pure MMA match and there's something on the line (not just money). No matter how they talk/act tough in front of media, this is still some boxing exhibition match where anything can happen. You never really know what's happening behind the scenes. I don't want to take that risk.

Yeah, this could be fix as well for all we know. Maybe it can end up in a draw, leaving a bad taste for the fans, specially bettors. I remember Tyson vs Roy Jones, it was a draw when we clearly see the Tyson should have won. But the judges gave it a draw, and then the reaction of fans around and all those who lost their bet on that fight. So this could end up in a similar fashion.

Looks like they've already fixed the match since Ortiz is already old and cannot keep up for long. what we will see in this fight is some kind of moderated fight where we see some action but at the end of the fight, the one who they want to win will be victorious. I don't mind seeing those veterans fight again in the ring as long as we know what's going on and we don't expect anything other than some short entertainment.

It's possible but it's unlikely, usually a fixed match and end up in a draw is when the both fighters has a lot respect, supporters and hype. In this match I don't really see that factors from both sides, Tito Ortiz is similar as unknown fighter here with less fans. It's different with Tyson had a lot fans since he's one of a legends, Roy Jones had a good boxing record and a lot fans too.

4 days before the fight , still doubting the credibility of the bout since there are occasions recently in which the Good expectation from bettors and fans end up being Draw and that is frustrating .

Boxing committee is making fool of the boxing community and this is the reason why Boxing is getting low feedback not like from the past when boxing enthusiast really exploring all areas of this sport but now since this has being rigged i don't know how long will it take for them to recover.

I am not betting on this one as i have lose recently in Pacquiao's fight . maybe i will wait for Inoue and Casimero to decide.

Do like a guy few posts above did - bet a minimum amount on Spider just to feel the emotions  You wont lose much, but you will watch this event definitely.

Come on man, you a loosing an evening with beer, chips and salt nuts

looks like you bet a large amount, so that it makes you traumatized by betting on this fight?
can't this fight be an opportunity for you to return the lost money?

we can't force him to make a choice in that fight, because maybe apart from being traumatized, he already spent his money on the pacquiao fight .

Luis Ortiz is a very dangerous opponent.  Don't underestimate him.  His nickname in his youth is King Kong. 

He received this nickname for the power of the blow, as well as for the height of 193 cm and the arm span of 2 meters.  As a rookie, he was not afraid to box with experienced professionals.  And very often he supported victories!  That is, he is undaunted.  Louis doesn't like to give up.  He will fight to win. 

Perhaps he is older than what is written in his passport.  This is a minus.  Nevertheless, Luis Ortiz during his lifetime was accustomed not to give up and overcome all difficulties. 

Therefore, I do not exclude that King Kong will defeat the Spider in a fierce battle.

He is a dangerous fighter I have watch his past matches when he was a young fighter but we are talking about boxing where the gloves are heavily padded and you can only use your fist not to mention there are a lot of things in MMA that you cannot do in boxing just look at the recent match between Woodley and Paul, Woodley is restricted even though he packs a power in MMA.

Hopefully Ortiz won't forget about the rules but yes, just like how we saw Woodley as he's restricted doing things inside the boxing ring, the edge of Silva knowing all the rules and very much familiar with the ring matchup.

We will see how things will end up. It's only some days to see this match and conclude who's the better fighter among these two inside the boxing ring.

Interesting to see if Ortiz will luckily throw that heavy punch that may land to Silvas' face and knock him down. Who knows, right?

Who is Luis Ortiz? Anderson “Spider” Silva will fight Tito “ The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” Ortiz.
I think you have confused something. Wrong Tito my friend. Plus Luis is a heavyweight. He and Anderson Silva will never meet in the ring.

That is an interesting point, if both of the fighters were younger I will think the same, but you are right when you say that at such an old age it is difficult to know which one is the one that has the most chances of winning, after all it is easy to see people on their forties that look as if they are in their fifties while there are some that look to be on their thirties and this difference could be enough to decide who will be the winner of this fight.
