go look back to the origional thread, "dida by destruction" was the common theme " eddie is the feeder for the star" Fact is people thought very highly of dida. and dida was a +550 to win the tourney and eddie was a +1300 i'd call those HUGE differences. the head to head i got locked in at a +220 for eddie, so yes dida was better than a 2 to 1 odds favorite, Which basically is the odds that franklin had against silva for the second fight.
