Boxing Betting (weekend Sat 8th)

Wild_Dogger

Well a comprehensive list of fights and odds available :

http://www.oddschecker.com/boxing

1. Darren Barker v Kerry Hope -
Pick - Not To Go The Distance Sportingbet 8/11
(similar price to 'Barker by K.O , but also covers you for the unlikely Hope K.o , Injury, head clash stoppage, early points discision, early technical draw)

Low stakes on this for me


2. Erick Ochieng v Mad Max Maxwell -
Toe to toe slugging from these two . 33 year old Maxwell to crumble in the second half of the fight
Pick - Either fighter wins in Rnds 6-10 SKYBET 5/2

Low stakes


3. John Ryder v Eamon O'Kane
Paddy Power 7/4 on Eamon O'kane to win .

It looks ok on paper + weigh in ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaFKV9uoJ-s )

Low Stakes

4. James De Gale v Fulgencio Zuniga -

Picking Zuniga here for 2 reasons. First I have always thought Zuniga deserved more credit. Solid puncher
Secondly I Would Love to see Degale get beaten again.

Zuniga 9/1 on Betfair or 15/2 on Sporting bet

Low Low stake - Zuniga has weighed in 3lbs lighter than Chunky
Also on Ch5 - not too sure if will be available to watch live.


5. Javier Fortuna v Patrick Hyland -
Fortuna to win Round 1-6
PaddyPower odds 4/5
Comprehensively covered in its own topic on boards.ie

Medium stake

6. Pacquiao v Marquez -

Its a pick'em this one . Two older fighters both looking strong and both look to have trained for the decisive knockout.
Will it go the full twelve rounds ?
Ladbrokes - Fight to finish Rounds 7-12 inclusive : 7/2

Medium stake


Thats my lot. I would have liked to go on the Kessler fight but nothing there .
also consider the pick'em fight with Gesta v Vasquez but fear it could be a super-snoozer.

Dangerous thing to bet with emotion.
I like your picks in general but I think Zuniga is not a good bet here. He'll get outboxed and there's nothing wrong with DeGale's beard.
I also think Pac & JMM will go all the way.

Nice call. Despite being a few seconds out, you really spotted something in the weigh-in. You know your stuff.

Lost out overall ..........

Hyland snookered me + the unlucky Marquez Paxq match.
