De La Hoya did hand pick Forbes. The question is why Forbes? Simple, not a threat in punching power. Oscar is the bigger guy, but Forbes has fought much bigger guys, but none near even a top contender ability. He fought on The Contender which has drawn a following for him vs Oscar. It's being broadcasted on HBO instead of PPV, the reason is that it wouldn't sell.
HakAttack1 Also, you can get +240 u11.5 at BookMaker. It's better that +179 for a half of a round less you get 35% more money.
Those that bet the ealy +240 u11.5(now +185), can do a middle (if favoring one side just adjust) and bet Oscar to win by Dec -150. If you bet the under $1000 to win $2400, now bet Oscar to win by decision for $2100 to win $1400. If Oscar wins by decision you get $400, if it goes under 11.5 rounds you get $300. It's basically betting Oscar to win (just not a stoppage in the last 90 sceonds of round 12) $350 average and risking $3100. Also, it's betting Oscar to win a decision at 9-1 odds instead of 16-1, and if it goes under 11.5 rounds, it doesn't matter who wins (that more than makes up for the blind spot of the final 90 seconds of round 12).
