Tom Craze returns to BLH this afternoon with his weekly look at the boxing game from a bettor's perspective. This week, of course, he's focused on Chavez Jr vs Martinez, as well as Canelo vs Lopez and the undercard action on both shows.

On Saturday night, the WBC middleweight titlist will step into the ring weighing around 30lbs more than his counterpart. He'll be around a decade younger than the guy in the other corner, with what's expected to be the majority of a sell-out Vegas crowd cheering him on. With 48 fights to his name, he's still unbeaten and will be taking home the bulk of a sizeable main-event purse. So, why the hell is Julio Cesar Chavez Jr a betting underdog?
