120-108 means that one fighter won every round and there were no knockdowns. If there was a knockdown the round must be either 9-9 or 10-8 ... if no knockdown and no point deduction the round is 10-9 unless a complete disaster for one fighter.had to go the distance for a score. I don't know boxing well, but otherwise a score wouldn't exist, the best I know.

12 rounds won x 10 points = 120
12 rounds lost x 9 poines = 108
Try3 doesn't care who won, like me. I think both of us bet this :
Cristian Mijares/Jose Navarro UNDER 11½+2.26 PINNACLE
Sat. Feb. 16 MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada<?xml:namespace prefix = o /><o></o>
<o></o>
This is a fantastic opportunity for us to cash in on some solid value, as the W.B.C. Super Feathwerweight Title is on the line as 3½-1 favorite Cristian Mijares faces Jose Navarro at the MGM Grand.<o></o>
<o></o>
The outcome of this one looks to be a foregone conclusion and I am surprised that Mijares is only a 3-1 something favorite. He is 33-3-2 with 14 K.O.’s but is vastly superior to the 26-3 Navarro. Both are 26 and southpaws but the similarities end there. In April 2007, Mijares came in as a 2-1 underdog and gave Jorge Arce a beating over 12 rounds in a fight that could easily have been stopped. However, Arce happens to be about as tough a customer as one could ever find and he managed to somehow survive to hear the final bell after 12 bloody rounds, as Mijares left the ring as the champion. It was a totally one-sided beat down. In his next fight he stopped another tough-as-nails fighter in Teppei Kikui in another one-sided dominating performance. This one ended in the 10<SUP>th</SUP> as Teppei, similar to Arce, took a pounding before the slaughter finally ended in round number ten. His last fight didn’t last nearly as long as the aforementioned two as he got rid of Franck Gorjux in the very first round. He is not known for his knockout power but he is very underrated and has gotten better and better over the last couple of years. He is just entering his prime. <o></o>
<o></o>
Cristian is a precision puncher and a true technician that has it all going for him. Mexican fighters usually start their careers against tough (not ‘hand-picked’) opponents; hence his deceiving record. They learn their craft the old-fashioned and hard way but look out when one gets his chance and big break!<o></o>
<o></o>
His opponent, Navarro, lost his last against a rather ordinary opponent in Kirilov (29-3 with only 9 K.O.’s). He was also knocked down in the 3<SUP>rd</SUP> round against an opponent about 20 light years behind the skill of Mijares and who has only 9 K.O.’s. In 2005 and 2006 he lost two fights by decision to a couple of Japanese boxers.<o></o>
<o></o>
The value on this total is phenomenal and the oddsmakers obviously believe that it will be a distance fight. I could not disagree more. Not only are we getting over 2-1 but we are also getting a full 11½ rounds to work with, which is simply huge and works very much in our favor. <o></o>
<o></o>
Aside from having a close to 4-1 favorite in what I believe is a total and complete ‘mismatch’ of a fight, we also have the luxury of it taking place in Las Vegas, where they do not let fights go on if somebody is getting beaten up and hurt. Perhaps the fact that Navarro has never been knocked out or stopped yet influenced this line. That means nothing. Erik Morales was never stopped before either and I could go on and on naming fighters that weren’t stopped until they were.<o></o>
<o></o>
Navarro is going to be outgunned and outclassed by a country mile and I would be simply shocked to see him survive long enough to jeopardize our play.<o></o>
<o></o>
Let’s call this one 2008’s first “long shot total special”. It’s a beauty!<o></o>
Play: Cristian Mijares/Jose Navarro UNDER 11½ +2.26 (Risking 2 units)
