Why is 13/8 listed as 1.62 tho for Juan Manuel Lopez by KO TKO or DQ ? I believe it's 2.63

Get a calculator, friend. :p

13 divided by 8 (alternately written as 13/8...) is 1.625 - not 2.63 as you say.

You may be used to, and thinking of, the traditional Decimal (or "European style") odds format. That isn't what you're looking at above, although it looks similar. ;)

Traditional decimal/Euro odds include your stake. VBookie only deals in Fraction (or "British style") odds - like 13/8. The decimal amount that is included shows what you stand to gain - it's a lot like European odds but does not include your stake. It's just a direct, literal decimal interpretation of the Fraction odds.

Lopez KO

This shouldn't be a walkover. Luevano has spent nine years and 39 fights as a pro and never been stopped, all at a higher weight class. Additionally, since Luevano wins mostly by decisions, it's safe to say he's a fine boxer, which he is. And he's a southpaw.

Luevano points for me. I just hope he doesn't get robbed as they will do whatever they can to keep the potential Juanma/Gamboa fight alive.

Yeah, he would probably have to completely dominate to earn a points victory. I agree, they're not going to let Gamboa/Lopez die easily. Same goes for Mtagwa. If he doesn't get a knockout or completely dominate, he's not winning either.

I thought the stoppage was slightly premature but as soon as the bloody nose early on, I predicted it wouldn't go past eight with Lopez by stoppage and I'm pretty certain that it wouldn't have.
