Kendricks, Any of the Caliente Sports Books will take action on the fight. They have proposition bets and an over/under of 12 rounds. When I was there two weeks ago Trinidad appeared to be heavily favored. In Las Vegas I believe is you lay $180 to win $100 and if you want Trinidad, and if you want Vargas you lay $100 to win $140. In Mexico I believe Trinidad was a three to one favorite. This fight is so big that they may even open up the Jai Lai Fronton and put the fight on the big screen there. If not they will still show it inside at the sports book, and possibly at a lot of the bars will have it. I really think most of the Mexicans like Trinidad even though he is from PR. Be careful though fights on TV have a way of breaking out in the bars or sportsbook. The first De La Hoya/Ceasar Chavez fight at the sportsbook in Pueblo Amigo turned into a riot started by one american and six mexicans. Eventually they were thrown in jail, but not until bottles were thrown and mirrors were broken in the sportsbook.
