On Saturday, August 19th, two Welterweight boxers will meet in the ring.

Veteran fighter Sharmba "Little Big Man" Mitchell will face off against rising star Paul "The Punisher" Williams

Sharmba Mitchell is 5'7" with a 72" reach. His pro record is 57-5 (with 30 KOs)

Paul Williams is 6'1" with a 79" reach. His record is 30-0 (with 22 KOs)

The betting line is as follows:

Mitchell +300

Williams -400

At 6'1", Williams is unusually tall for a Welterweight. There's also the matter of the 7" reach advantage for Williams.

Mitchell has fought a better caliber of fighters, but with 62 pro fights under his belt, his best days are behind him.

Despite Williams being a huge favorite (and therefore not offering much of a payoff), I'm still going to lay down $800 on Williams in the hopes of picking up $200. I'd love to bet on the underdog, but this is a mismatch for Mitchell in every possible way.
