Boxing Betting Thread - weekend 5th+6th Dec

ODD-JOB

Well what a glorious weekend ahead for the couch patatoe !
There's that much boxing on Saturday that we even have a choice of channels !!
A handful of fun picks here:

Froch v Pascal
Jean Pascal - KO, TKO or Disqualification - 10/1 (Lad-broke's)

Too good to be passed up for a fan that dosent like "The Cobra" Carl Froch

Pascal is fast and , everybody's got power at super-middleweight !!!

Khan v Fagan.

Khan, Amir By Decision Or Technical Decision- 8/1
(boil-sports)

They're never going to give a decision against Khan in England... Im rooting for fagan to go the distance here.

Harrison V Rogan

Harrison on points with Betfred - 11/4

I think he takes a close points win here in a snoozer.

Fraudley's going to be jeered all night by the fans again I fear

Juan Manuel Lopez v Sergio Manuel Medina

Really no idea here , such a mismatch of odds!
Lopez is 1/50 and Medina is 15/1 .

I thought Medina was rated , but i cant say I remember seeing either of them.

Oscar De La Hoya v Manny Pacquiao

Sensible money goes to Dela Hoya by decision/points.
I'll be waiting till fight night , as I believe the odds are going to get way shorter on Pacman come fight night.

Expect 3/1 or something close.

The question is , Can I bring myself around to backing against Manny.. and Roach - who I'm a big fan of !

Odd Job, I don't think the Pascal inside win is a good bet, Froch has a very good chin and has superb conditioning. I know anything can happen in a boxing match (cuts - he's white), but IMO Froch on pts is the most likely outcome in what I regard as an intriguing matchup. My only worry is that he has prepared in Mayo !! That losing mentality might have rubbed off on him

Khan on pts is good value, although it could be a late stoppage too. Who knows, with his dodgy chin a Khan KO loss could happen !!

I agree with Harrison on pts.

Lopez is a potential superstar. Slick, fast, southpaw and a huge puncher. He bombed out the very tough Ponce de Leon in the first round to win the title. Ditto his first defence. Early rounds (incl. round 1) KO would seem to be the most likely outcome here.

Agree with the DLH/Pac opinion.

Khan ko mid rds

Harrison V Rogan

Harrison on points with Betfred - 11/4

Harrison should stop rogan..


Oscar De La Hoya v Manny Pacquiao

Sensible money goes to Dela Hoya by decision/points.
I'll be waiting till fight night , as I believe the odds are going to get way shorter on Pacman come fight night.

Expect 3/1 or something close.

I'm expecting a DLH ko, unless he deliberatly goes the distance with manny, which is a possibility..

Thats the way i'd bet anyway!!

ps, i also love manny and roach!

conceited

There is no way in hell manny will get ko'd .
I'm betting manny goes the distance and wins on a decision.

cowzerp

Well put your money on in the bookies and you'll do well, you wont though as manny will not win v the bigger ODLH!

conceited

We will see!
I put my money on about 30 minutes ago :pac:

keane2097

You can get DLH at 2:1 on at bodog which is the best price I've seen. That's just backing him outright...

akindoc

The following bets should all come in.

Carl Froch to win.
Amir Khan to win.
Juan Manuel Lopez to win.
Audley Harrison to win.
Oscar De La Hoya to win.

I think that Khan, Lopez, Harrison and DLH could get the KO.

Big Ears

Froch will beat Pascal, he could very well stop him too. If Froch is to lose it will not be by stoppage,barring a cut(and he hasn't cut before from memory).

Khan will stop Fagan, 10 rounds will be enough for him to force a referee to 'intervene', whether legitimately needed or not.

Harrison will most likely do just enough to edge Rogan on points.

Lopez will stop Medina, Medina is an average fighter with very good World rankings. He was shown up against Rey Bautista(who has proved to not be too great himself) and Juan Manuel Lopez can really punch, aswell as being an all round good fighter. Lopez anytime before 7/8 for me.

De La Hoya will outpoint Pacquiao I think, but I'm not really comfortable commenting on this fight, it's a freak show.

conceited

My bets I place are as follows.

Carl Froch To Win in Round 8
Amir Khan To Win in Round 6
:pac: Decision

Should be a good laugh looking at them later !:D
