MINTY BETS: This Saturday, November 14th, at the MGM Grand bubble here in Las Vegas, Nevada, we've got the WBO Welterweight World Title between Terence Crawford a minus 1,500 favorite, versus Kell Brook, a plus 750 underdog. I'm here with Kevin Iole here to give us his favorite bet for this bout. Kevin, what do you think about this one? Who's gonna win?

KEVIN IOLE: Boy, I'll tell you what, Minty. I think you know me by now, and I don't like laying these big numbers. Minus 1,500 really tough to lay that to win $100 on Terence Crawford. You know, Kell Brook is a guy though, I think this is going to be a tougher fight than most people think from Crawford's standpoint.

So if you're looking to play a dog and you maybe get lucky here and get a big bet, I think this could be a good situation for Kell Brook at plus 750. Terence Crawford is number two on our pound for pound list at Yahoo Sports. One of the best fighters in the world Arguably could be number one.

But Brook has been in there with a lot of good opponents. You know, he lost to Gennady Golovkin in middleweight. He lost to Errol Spence. And that is it in 41 fights. So he is a really top level fighter. I think Crawford is the better overall boxer here.

But if you're looking for some value, you know, take a flyer and you've got a little money to spare. Take a flyer on Kell Brook. I'm not predicting a Kell Brook victory, but I don't think you can really lay that minus 1,500 on Terence Crawford. I think

Brook is a good guy to get at that kind of a number. A former World Champion who's been in there were a lot of guys. I will take Kell Brook plus 750 here.

MINTY BETS: Wow, all right. We always on those value plays. Thank you so much, Kevin.

KEVIN IOLE: Thanks, Minty.
