    Ok guys... Money in your pockets!

    A four fight accumulator:

    1) Deontay Wilder fight won't go the distance 1/7

    2) Nathen Cleverly 11/10

    3) Austin Trout Evens

    4) Lucas Matthysse 2/5

    5) Floyd Mayweather 3/10

    These five fights are guaranteed wins... Carved in stone if you like!

    This is 9/1 guys....

    Put your mortgage on it!.. Money for nothing!

    no such thing as money for nothing! every fight you have posted is a close fight and not a guarentee at all.

    Just bet on it.......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 332 ✭✭HeadPig


    You will lose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,756 ✭✭✭Dick phelan


    I think Cleverly will be KO'd so wont be betting on that, other then that i would bet on all the other results to happen


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 372 ✭✭hawkeyethenoo


    garcia will shock everyone. matthysse went from being underrated to being massively overrated. garcia will beat him.

    Disagree, what he just did to Peterson is a huge achievement. Matthysse is highly rated for the right reasons!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,252 ✭✭✭FTA69


    garcia will shock everyone. matthysse went from being underrated to being massively overrated. garcia will beat him.

    Beat him how? Garcia is a slugger with decent power, Matthysse has a punch like a mule and also very underrated boxing skills; he's basically a far superior version of Garcia.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 942 ✭✭✭flanna01


    Guys, Guys, Guys.....

    The countdown has begun.... It's a genuine 9/1 shot.

    Garcia couldn't carry Matthysse's spit bucket... Anyone who thinks Garcia will win, needs to put the bong pipe away.

    Cleverly is as sure as night follows day....

    You should all be thanking me, not posting negative comments.

    Agree that Matthysse will KO Garcia, but how can you possibly say Cleverly is a sure thing, this is where we see what he is made of, Kovalev has looked an animal, no saying Clev cant win but its a 50/ 50 fight at best and tbh i'd have Kovalev a slight favorite

    I know boxing inside out - Didn't just post this thread on a whip....

    Now quit being so negative...

    Convert a fiver into a crispy fifty....... And quit moaning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,252 ✭✭✭FTA69


    I actually like this accumulator. Kovalev isn't guaranteed to win against Cleverly and besides, in a betting context he's as good a choice as any on an accumulator which is a punt at the best of times.

    we will see. garcia is the one being underrated here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 942 ✭✭✭flanna01


    Garcia was lucky not to get sparked out by Judah..... Pleeease..!!!

    Judah is in the twilight of his career, he rocked Garcia with the very basic of combinations... If an old timer can wobble him, what will Matthysse do to him?? They don't call him the ''machine'' for nothing - He is relentless!

    It's 9/1 guys.... You've only got till Saturday evening to place your bets... I assume ye didn't bother with the Wilder destruction??

    Get on and get rich... And stop cribbin!!!

    I have a tidy packet waged on this batch of fights - I seldom lose on any boxing wagers.

    The return from this bet will cover my nct, road tax and service for a year... Of that I have no doubt... (And a couple of jars to celebrate of course....)

    It's not as bad as ye make out like. Cleverly is by no means a cert to lose to Kovalev, Trout is dead evens with Lara. Matthysse and Mayweather are very safe bets.

    I put a few bucks on this accumulator myself.

    Glad some of you dudes seen sense and laid a wager....

    Now... Don't be getting your panties up in a bunch when Cleverly takes some heavy punishment for the first four rounds of the fight - That's expected.

    Once all the steam has been vented, the real boxing begins.

    Cleverly will dance his way to a victory, let there be no mistake about that.

    Now, sit back, and watch your investment begin to grow....

    My guess is you have underrated Kovalev in the extreme. You have him down as a knock merchant of poor opposition who will crumble at sight of first resistance.

    You are well and trully wrong. Kovalev can win a few different ways, he just has not had to show it yet.

    Now i'm not saying he will win either, its a 50/50 fight.

    I admire your bravery in fairness, you are simply taking a punt though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 942 ✭✭✭flanna01


    Erm.... I never take any boxers lightly.

    I am well aware of Cleverly's opposition - He is light on his feet and can punch from all angles (A trait very few boxers can perform...)

    This fight will not be decided by power or strength. No Sir... This fight will be a chess match with gloves on.

    I study boxing with a clinical eye - I could nearly tell you the colour of their underpants on fight night...

    When my wager collects - I will be looking for your response Sir... I think you have taken me lightly...... Big mistake.

    so you predict it will be a chess match with gloves on, but a chess match in which Cleverly will take heavy punishment for the first 4 rounds?

    Before he dances to victory?

    Thats a clinical eye you have their alright.

    Cleverly has a shot at winning for sure, but its 50/50. Anyone who is claiming it will be a nailed on victory for either man is spoofing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 942 ✭✭✭flanna01


    Ok... No problem.

    My money says differently. I am prepared to back my prediction with cold hard cash.

    As stated in previous posts, I don't care what anybody thinks about my bet.. It's like a dog barking in a big city - It means nothing to me.

    You have your opinion, and you are indeed entitled to it... Mine is different. Cleverly will win, without a shadow of a doubt... And too be honest, I wouldn't be a great fan of he's either... But money is money none the less, if Cleverly has to have a hand in paying for my car tax - so be it!

    And yes... Cleverly will have to withstand a stormy first couple of rounds, that is what this fight requires, be silly to stand there and trade now wouldn't it...? Get the first three/ four rounds over, then start to take control of the fight, dictate the pace, let the combinations earn the points...

    You really should have invested in this recession busting wager, you wouldn't get 9/1 selling crack cocaine to the stars in Hollywood...

    Cleverly is in for a rough ride, but the cream will always rise to the top.

    Looking forward to your response after the fight...

    Hope it works out for ya

    Pity he couldn't take Kovalev's punches and got destroyed in four rounds.

    I mean, your "dead cert" to win got annihilated. :confused:

    I backed this accumulator as I thought Cleverly would outbox a man with savage power but with little means to deliver it. That was a bad call on my part. fianna1 you broke my heart, my kids will not eat this month; a high pox on your house!

    Out of curiosity, had you seen much of Kovalev beforehand? I thought it was fairly obvious from his most recent bouts that he definitely had means of delivery for his crunching shots, given he showed superb movement, timing and accuracy against solid fighters. Not as if he was ever a limited banger, always seemed to be a compact machine. ;)

    He destroyed a very good fighter tonight, has a very bright future ahead of him! Stevenson next if he gets past Cloud?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,252 ✭✭✭FTA69


    No to be brutally honest I hadn't. I watched a few snips of the man and thought that it was easy to look good against average opponents, and in fairness, Kovalev hadn't come against much. I saw Nathan shipping a few hard ones initially before dancing around him and him getting the decision; obviously Kovalev was the real deal and fair play to him. The question on whether he was a serious contender couldn't have been answered until tonight and he flew through it.

    I honestly don't know where he'll go from here; the problem with showing such a dominant display this early is that there will be much bigger names with precious little incentive to fight you.

    Credit to Clev for fighting Kovalev, could have defended his title against another average fighter in his backyard if he wanted to, delighted he stepped up and tried to deliver.

    I don't think there will be many problems getting fights for the man. I reckon Stevenson would take him on, Hopkins would also IMO (though I wouldn't want to see him getting blasted by Kovalev at 48....). He's not an unknown quantity anymore it seems.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 942 ✭✭✭flanna01


    Never one to shy away from the spot light..

    Boy, did I get that wrong!

    Cleverly looked pale, thin, and over trained as he made his way to the ring. I passed comment to my Mrs stating the same... (My Mrs has as much boxing knowledge as our retarded cat)

    Yep.. I stand before this forum with my head bowed in shame..

    Alas though.. I will not be beaten by this temporary set back ... (where angels fear to tread and all that bo**oxs).

    When I have swallowed the bitter pill of defeat, I shall return with a 5 star, rock solid money earner...

    To anybody that waged on my 9/1 sure thing.... We lost the battle, but will win the war.

    To the haters that said we'd lose - Enjoy your day in the Sun...

    I will return shortly with a garanteed sure thing... (You can't kill a bad thing!)

    In fairness - You need me on this forum... Half the punters are posting like they just returned from a funeral....

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 267 ✭✭Gorman700


    Cleverly will win, without a shadow of a doubt. Hahaha.

    He's a bum, you know why? Because he's fought sparring partners since Bellew and he's a paper champion.

    On a more positive note, Kiko Martinez put on a good show last night, while a little crude it was a good performance. Carl Frampton needs to get on the gas with his career now, he beat Kiko comprehensively, Kiko gets the nod for a title shot. Quigg now fighting for a title. IMO The Jackal will suffer under Warren.
