Anyone think Gorman is great value at 2/1 against Dubois? I'd fancy Gorman outboxes him, I'm not at all sold on Dubois.

Probably worth a punt at 2/1 tbh

Think Dorticos should spark Tabiti but Glowacki is a fine call. Briedis looked horrendous the last time I saw him and I remember hearing he'd lost the motivation and heart for the sport. Whether that has been fixed or not I don't know. It is in Latvia but you'd hope the WBSS have competent judges in so Glowacki should get a fair chance.

Sokolowski 2/1
Welborn 2/1

Both in 50/50 fights imo so will take the value there.

I see sokolowski won anyway.

Seems Welborn is glass to the body unfortunately. Shame. Competitive fight up to that point.

Will fury stop him or will it go distance?

I backed a stopped under 7.5 rds at 4 to 1 and also schwarz going down in the first six at jusy under evens. Hoping fury is eager to.impress with his new contract

12gauge dave · 16-06-2019 5:01am

I put a cheeky 5euro at 16/1 for a Schwarz ko/tko/disqualification

12gauge dave · 16-06-2019 5:09am

Wow was happy to lose the 5euro to see fury box like that. Nothing short of spectacular from the big man

simongurnick · 16-06-2019 5:15am

Should have put a few bob on him singing!

Angliru · 21-06-2019 8:32pm

Going to chance my arm on the Finnish lad fighting Conor Benn @4.1. Opposing Benn will eventually pay off. Terrible fighter.

It's a case of when, not if, Benn is found out.

Awful defence, poor enough boxing skills and movement but he's wild unpredictable and has plenty of power.

Angliru · 21-06-2019 11:21pm

Fair play to Benn but he looked horrid in the first round against a 35 y/o who can't punch and has lost a few recently. As was said, matter of when and not if. The state of them bigging him up to heaven high too. That'll do him no good, he'll start to believe the hype.

Angliru · 10-07-2019 6:40pm

Not one for shorties but Rob Brant @1.33 vs Murata looks lovely tomorrow morning. Brant boxed the snot off Murata and I don't see how things change. The only thing is that he's fighting in Japan, but I have found that Japan generally score things fairly.

Morrison J · 11-07-2019 10:36pm

Joyce in rounds 7-12 @ 5/2. Think he'll grind Jennings down and stop him late

Murata KO2. Yikes, good thing I hardly if ever back a shorty :pac:

weemcd · 13-07-2019 2:00pm

Had a wee nibble on Gorman tonight for interest, his size, boxing ability and hand speed can make this one interesting. Paired that with Germaine de Randamie in the UFC as her opponent looked to have a horrible weight cut and looked very shaky on the scales.

Angliru · 18-07-2019 10:33pm

Thurman vs Manny has to be a goer. Going to wait until post weigh in, more money will arrive for Manny.

Szpilka to beat Chisora looks nice. I really don't rate Chisora and I am fond of Szpilka. He'll probably get robbed, but he has the ability to box the nonsense out of Chisora.

Thurman 2-1 to win on points. Negatives are i'm worried about his lack of action for the last while and the lack of drug testing in this fight!

Morrison J · 20-07-2019 6:15pm

Thurman-Pacquiao to go the distance and Dave Allen via KO double at about 7/5

Also done a treble with Billam-Smith in there at 5/1

Morrison J · 11-10-2019 5:07pm

Backing Tommy McCarthy tonight at 10/3. Hopefully he finally puts it together. Italian is basic enough.

normanoffside · 11-10-2019 5:23pm

Chisora says he has left Coldwell and is going to train and corner himself..

Didn't catch the fight. Seems like there are no decent Italian pros. Always a danger of getting screwed over on the cards in Italy - has that reputation. Well done to Tommy Mc.

It was the opposite last night. There was live scoring announced every 4 rounds. The Italian almost got screwed against Reece Bellotti. Even sky had it a whitewash to the Italian but the judges had it a very close SD.

Morrison J · 18-10-2019 6:52pm

Don't really understand why Ritson is the favourite tomorrow. Only thing I see saving him is if he gets a hometown decision on the cards. Has been overrated from the start and I think moving up to 140 won't do his style any favours.

Davies Jr decision @ 13/5

normanoffside · 23-10-2019 10:02pm

I've seen a few recent interviews with Chisora and he hasn't had a trainer and looks in bad shape.
You can get 16/1 on Price on points. Hmmm....

I'd take that but I think there's zero chance this fight doesn't end with a KO. Somebody will be going to sleep this one, I think it's gonna be very lively for as long as it lasts.

Lively?! Really? Come off of it. Price is a liability in the ring and Chisora is just picking up pay cheques!

This will be a slow boring fight. Chisora by TKO late on imo.

I hope I’m wrong but on paper it looks like an awful full affair.

Morrison J · 24-10-2019 7:35am

Price on like 4 weeks notice. Struggle to see anything bar a Chisora KO tbh. Price will gas.

He sure will. In about round 2. Lol. Useless lump.

Morrison J · 25-10-2019 9:14pm

Chisora KO
Selby Points
Taylor- Prograis to go the distance

Treble @ near to 3/1

Small value bet on Joet Gonzalez to beat Shakur Stevenson via KO/TKO @ 8/1

Joshua - Ruiz over 7.5 rounds @ 5/6

murphyebass · 06-12-2019 9:46pm

I went with Povetkin to get the ko/tko and AJ for the same.
Main bet was on AJ for the win by whatever means.

I think Hunters untested so hoping Povetkin can show us why he’s still a contender and surprise the bookies.

I think AJ will be well up for this rematch. I think he’ll end it about round 5 or so but I played it safe with most of me beans on the win.

You should have gone for the Decision, great odds

PEACEBROTHER · 08-12-2019 1:23am

Joshua has said in past that fury was boring / not exciting
Now josh says it’s a sweet science of hitting and not get hit -

I’ve never been so confident that fury beats Joshua

Dont be at yourself · 08-12-2019 12:24pm

I think both Fury and Wilder beat Joshua, and Joshua and Hearn probably think that too. Can see him fight Pulev, Whyte, perhaps Usyk before he gets in the ring with either of them.

One things for sure; he's not going to win over the US audience by jabbing his way to a points victory against a fat lad in Saudi Arabia.

PopePalpatine · 08-12-2019 3:16pm

What if that fat lad is Mr Bone Saw?

Morrison J · 14-12-2019 10:07pm

Conlan via KO @ 6/4

Lopez decision over Commey @ 11/10

Morrison J · 28-05-2020 4:41pm

Boxing withdrawals might be getting the best of me with this one but..

Mariusz Wach to beat Kevin Johnson on points @ 4/6

Wach hasn’t stopped an opponent with a winning record since 2015.

Johnson has only been stopped three times in 16 defeats and is very good at surviving/spoiling.

8/15 on PP now. Will shop around and keep an eye on these odds.

Morrison J · 25-06-2020 10:08pm

Been doing pretty well on these Top Rank cards so will probably go to **** now I post these.

Like Nova to beat Sparrow via KO @ 2/1 tonight.

Don't actually rate Nova highly at all. Extremely reckless coming in and will get beat by a solid puncher sooner than later but don't think Sparrow is that guy. Sparrow a guy who likes to fight at a slow pace. Think Nova will have too much for him coming forward non stop and should get a KO in the mid to late rounds.

Like Jason Maloney on points too but hoping I can get even money or better on that. Lot of money coming on Baez today so hopefully the lines over here shift. Think Jason is the much better fighter out of the two brothers. From the few bits I've watched of Baez today he's half decent tall fighter who will come forward but be able to take a shot. Done 10 rounds before too so fight should hopefully go the distance.

As expected 0/2 ffs.

Nova fought very tentative. Very different to how he's fought before. Like he was saving his gas tank. Still had Sparrow hurt in the 8th but couldn't finish the job.

Jason Maloney is really good. Competitive fight that looked likely to go the distance but corner pulled Baez after the 7th. Frustrating one.

Hearn announces the matchroom schedule later. Hopefully some competitive fights in that.

Morrison J · 28-07-2020 2:43pm

Anyone had a look at any cards for the weekend? Few competitive fights on.

Liking Tennyson via KO @ 13/10 and Gill on points @ 10/11 on first look.

Fulton v Leo an interesting fight in the States too. Need to watch a bit more of Leo before making a concrete opinion on it though.

Butson · 28-07-2020 2:46pm

In fairness to Matchroom, these fight camp cards are very competitive.
Tricky!

Morrison J · 28-07-2020 2:47pm

Fight doesn't take place till mid-August but took 5/2 on Rachel Ball to beat Shannon Courtenay a few weeks ago. Massive step up for Courtenay who hasn't looked great whenever I've seen her previously. Seems to be a fair bit of money coming in on Ball too the 5/2 isn't available in many places anymore.

Fulton failed his covid test so Tramaine Williams now fights Leo. Always liked the look of Tramaine Williams. Bit of a poor mans Pernell Whitaker. Very awkward, slippy southpaw who it should be awkward for Leo to adjust to on short notice.

Williams 11/10 to win looks like good value. Would expect him to be favourite come the time of the fight tbh.
