    Got :
    (i) not to go the distance , Ladbrokes 1/1 (earlier price)
    (ii) Canelo to win between rounds 7-12 inclusive , 11/4 Ladbrokes
    (iii) Canelo by stoppage - P.Power 6/4


    Canelo is too solid, likely to tear him apart from the middle of the fight


  • Registered Users Posts: 345 ✭✭Diddley Squat


    Know nothing of Alvarez, but ............


    thats a good disclaimer to begin with.
    An opening gambit

    I'll take all of that - but I wanted the fight to continue

    Joshua not to score a knockdown @ 6/5 looks good to me.

    Expecting a cagey fight with Usyk coming on the stronger late on.

    Any thoughts on tonight Mr. Morrison



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,844 ✭✭✭Morrison J


    Nothing really stood out value wise tbh. Originally fancied Fury points and the over 7.5 total rounds but Wilder coming in heavy has me thinking he might try meet fire with fire and empty the tank early and has scared me off. Might live bet it depending on how Wilder starts.


    Kownacki probably wins by KO late but he's far too hittable and I couldn't trust him with my money at all.


    Ajagba v Sanchez a very good 50/50. No bet on it myself but gun to head Sanchez KO. Ajagba can bang but is a bit crude and hittable.



  • Registered Users Posts: 13,755 ✭✭✭✭Hello 2D Person Below


    Fury & Ajagba win by KO/TKO - 9/1



  • Registered Users Posts: 11,992 ✭✭✭✭Rjd2


    I don't even dislike Jake Paul as much as some do and think Tommy Fury is crap,,,,,but surely 13/8 or so is serious value for Fury to knock him out in a eight round fight?



  • Registered Users Posts: 9,922 ✭✭✭normanoffside


    I had a look at some YouTube footage of Katie’s opponent for tomorrow and she doesn’t seem to have much power. I’ve backed KT for a rare stoppage at 9/4.

    Zero knockdowns in Eubank v Williams @ 2/1 looks a generous price to me. Two tough men with proven durable chins.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,844 ✭✭✭Morrison J


    Even money for a Clarke first round KO. Like they've plucked a guy from the crowd to fight him.





  • Registered Users Posts: 2,098 ✭✭✭markc91


    Where did you find round betting J? Also any thoughts on the main event?



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,844 ✭✭✭Morrison J


    I got it on B365 earlier but seems to have been taken down everywhere now.

    Too many unknowns with the main event to make a call with any conviction. Impossible to know what level of shot both are and it's rare to get two shot fighters together in such a meaningful fight where they've both clearly trained hard and care about winning as much as the money on offer. 

    I do think there'll more than likely be a few tentative rounds early with both fighters being afraid of making a mistake. Kinda would side with the over 8.5 rounds I think but that does seem to be very against the grain. Nothing would really shock me though and think I'm staying away myself.

    Leigh wood ko/tko at 7/2 for me tonight.

    Not convinced by Conlon at all , half his "stoppages" are suspect , and I can see him attempting to trade later in the fight and getting clipped by wood who can can bang .



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,844 ✭✭✭Morrison J


    Are you that convinced by Leigh Wood though? A guy who lost wide to Jazza Dickens and was rocked by Reece Mould. Fair play if it comes in but I'd really struggle to be convinced.



  • Registered Users Posts: 11,992 ✭✭✭✭Rjd2


    Bivol at 3/1 seems very juicy against Canelo doesn't it?


    And I am someone who rates Canelo highly.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,098 ✭✭✭markc91


    late notice but any thoughts on katies fight tonight?



  • Registered Users Posts: 9,922 ✭✭✭normanoffside


    Paddy Power have Lara to stop Spike O'Sullivan tomorrow night at:

    2/1 Rounds 1-6

    4/1 Rounds 1-4

    Both are worth a bet IMO, Lara will have him out of there quickly I think.



  • Registered Users Posts: 11,992 ✭✭✭✭Rjd2


    Highly unlikely he wins, but Joe Smith JR at 5/1 is tempting v v Beterbiev , yep Joe could get hurt but he seriously bang so a shock is possible?

  • Registered Users Posts: 5,282 ✭✭✭megadodge


    Hmmm, there's a bit of value there.

    Smith is tough and certainly can punch. I haven't been too impressed with Beterbiev in his most recent bouts.

    Stranger things have heppened.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,844 ✭✭✭Morrison J


    Usyk to not be knocked down 5/6

    Usyk to win by stoppage 2/1



  • Registered Users Posts: 345 ✭✭Diddley Squat


    Eubank Jr v Smith

    Reasonable size bet on Eubank @1.45, smaller bet on Eubank finish him in round 7-12 @5.5



  • Registered Users Posts: 13,755 ✭✭✭✭Hello 2D Person Below


    I'm on the Eubank Jr 7-12 too.



  • Registered Users Posts: 11,992 ✭✭✭✭Rjd2


    Looking ahead at the big fights, Crawford slight fav against Spence seems fair, but Fulton at 3/1 v Inoue seems generous.

    Inoue is rightful fav but I think the betting markets don't truly understand how good Fulton is and its ultimately Inoue moving up. Size matters.



  • Registered Users Posts: 54,552 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Size ain't mattering here really. And there is very little size difference anyway.

    Fulton is not a puncher and not particularly physical either, hence the move up from Inoue is not near as risky.

    Inoue-Fulton to go the distance at 11/10. 👍📈



  • Registered Users Posts: 363 ✭✭Robert Nairac


    Fulton was avoiding the real heavy leather and then it ended abruptly.

    Yoenis Telez to beat Sergio Garcia at 5/4.

    Spence-Crawford to go the distance at 13/20.



  • Registered Users Posts: 13,755 ✭✭✭✭Hello 2D Person Below


    Usyk win in rounds 7-12

    2/1

    Erickson Lubin is great value at 4/1 tonight

    He's a good strong fighter and he's got a good chance in my opinion

    Canelo by Ko rounds 7-12 is also ok at 4/1
