Goin with the homer here(Truscott). Not only because of being the homeboy, but, he HAS been very active. Okaba hasn't fought in a year. Truscott fought as recently as this Feb. past. These are my thoughts on this one.

Well done- didn't make the time to boxrec it. 5 5dimes sure has some obscure fights but sometimes those are the best, like this past Wednesday night Smith Torres.
Ain't it the truth. I stumbled upon that one. I was a tad hesitant as the homer, I thought, should have been lined higher. I'm not complaining mind you, just surprised at the numbers. As I told Romi, I plan to run down to Primm SOON to see whats what with lines for Saturday. They told me to expect numbers to be posted forthwith. We'll see. I don't think I'll being going to see Chris Byrd at Cox. Some styles I just can't bear anymore, but I will bet if any strong opinions turn up.
I saw Byrd v Williamson in Reno. It was absolutely the worst fight of all time. The only intrigue here is that Byrd will be fighting @175. I'm not so sure he'll make noise. He doesn't avoid punches the way he used to. They won't hit as hard as the heavies but they're faster. Not a great card but there is an undefeated Ruskie in a prelim. I'll be there and hopfully we'll see some decent lines. Nice win on Trusket.
I'm heading down to Primm this afternoon to pick up tickets for Romi and a buddy of mine, will try and check out the venue, if there's any line- let you know but I have a feeling, they'll wait fight week. I'm also going to pop into a major casino, like MGM for lines. Good luck today.
Be advised, a ticket writer told me on Thursday they will be up THIS afternoon! Yea, please, let me know. You really think the big boys on the strip will hang up numbers? Oh yea, the guy also said he is just waiting for LVSC to send over the action. They don't have a Robert Walker or anyone else to set numbers for them. I'm in section 111, seats 7-8. I'm so cheap I would'nt spring for the full $83!
