Boxing Weekend: 12/11/14 to 12/13/14

Question

My boxing action for this weekend. I tailed more knowledgeable bettors on Banks as an underdog against 46 year old Antonio Tarver on ESPN2 tonight, but I'm fairly confident in the other favorites and props:

Johnathon Banks (+130) vs Antonio Tarver $40.00 for $52.00
Erislandy Lara wins by 12 round decision (-240) $96.00 for $40.00
Amir Khan (-240) vs Devon Alexander $240.00 for $100.00
Timothy Bradley wins by KO/TKO/DQ or UD (-171) vs Diego Gabriel Chaves $171.00 for $100.00

Banks looked terrible. Should have went with Tarver at -150 considering his championship experience and levels of competition in his career. Especially since favorites seem to win 90% of the time in boxing, unless it's an outright robbery like that Cave/Escandon fight earlier in the night. Teddy Atlas was going off about that!

I like Amir Khan tomorrow night. I think he wins clear decision
