Taking khan to win on points at 10/11 with a sneaky covering bet on Devon Alexander ko @ 5/1.

Didn't see it but I heard it was nice and easy.

Lara by points
Korobov by stoppage

Accumulator at 4/1.

I'd be happy to lose the bet if Lee won but if Korobov stops him the few quid will cushion the blow.

I don't think the risk is worth the reward. All of them bets for something just above 3/5.

That's an interesting fight for Fury and a big step up. He hasn't fought since last May and to lump him in a ten rounder against a guy that can take a punch, I'd be wanting more than 1/7.

Thought Smith fought the fight of his life and can't see it been replicated.Abraham has been involved in many a war and you'd think that he's slowing down but Smith is fairly ordinary and even a half-shot Arthur Abraham should still have too much.

The Golovkin stoppage at 1/7 isn't a forgone conclusion. Murray can be quite negative,tight guard and could quite possibly run around the ring for 12 rounds.

I'd probably pick the same outcomes as you but there doesn't seem to be any value in it.

There's an element of risk in the Fury fight given that it's a step up and he's back from an illness. However he's had a long camp for this (he's been fully recovered for quite a while) and I really rate him as a boxer. I trust Peter Fury's management of him.

Golovkin stoppage is a certainty imo. Even if Murray fights ultra negative, the ref will have to step in. Golovkin steps up his workrate when fighters shell up (like against Stevens) so it's only a matter of time before he either knocks him out early or forces the ref to step in from the fight being too one-sided in the later rounds.

Abraham is the one I'm most worried about tbh. You just don't know if he'll turn up or not. Stieglitz rematch he was brutal after a close first fight. He still has it in him to stop Smith though, as Smith is fragile.

Your skepticism is fair enough though. I think it's just about worth going for.

magma69 · 20-02-2015 2:50pm

Fury weighs in at 230. Looks in good shape. He has a much more professional attitude to the sport than his cousin who was turning up in disgraceful shape when he was at Hughie's stage of his career.

magma69 · 02-03-2015 6:21pm

Jazza Dickens to win on Friday @ 4/11

magma69 · 12-03-2015 10:36am

Oosthuizen
Berto
Porter

All to win this weekend. 50 returns 105 on PP.

Talib Fiasco · 14-03-2015 12:18am

Chris Arreola
Andre Berto
Shawn Porter
Patrick Nielsen
Ovill McKenzie
Gary O'Sullivan
Dierry Jean
Sergey Kovalev
Thomas Oosthuizen
Adam Etches
Kell Brook

These to win their March fights. About 6/1. Got a 50 on it myself as an accumulator.

Spike is 1/40 to win. I'd advise against backing him. It would be an awful shame for you to fall on an accumulator due to an early clash of heads in a fight that brings in next to nothing.

We both have two down on our accumulators. Good luck!

flanna01 · 14-03-2015 4:54pm

Ok... Move over amateurs, let the man through.....

First of all, let there be no more backing the entire populous of boxers in order to make a few quid - that's just ridiculous.

I turn my back for two minutes, and ye all start running riot around here!

Here it is for tonight.....

Sergey Kovalev 7-12
Wyacheslav Glazkov
Thomas Oosthuizen

This little trio pays out around 6/1 depending what investment broker (bookie) you go to...

Now Fur Ball's... Ye will have to start making money yourselves, I can't be wiping your noses every two minutes!

Get on the above sure thing before 6.30pm tonight, that's when John Thomas will be starting the ball rolling....

magma69 · 14-03-2015 10:13pm

Oosthuizen wins! Nielsen should be out soon.

Congrats, great calls! Just wondering there did your Porter leg return void as well due to change of opponent? I only spotted that earlier today on my own bet.

''Who's your Daddy.......!!!''

Talib Fiasco · 15-03-2015 12:07pm

Congrats o great one

I am waiting on only three more legs for mine to come through....Special K, Etches and Ovill. Ovill is the only one I am sort of worried about but he still should bring it home.

I didn't even realise at the time ffs. That bet was void. Sickened but can't blame PP as it's clearly stated that a change in bet voids that particular bet.

magma69 · 24-03-2015 8:30pm

Gary Russell Jr this weekend @ 8/15 on PP.

Talib Kweli's bet still looking good.

Don't want to sound like a know-all, but I bet regularly and I learnt from an experienced punter a long time ago, that the more variables, the more likely you're gonna lose. That's stating the obvious I suppose, but you had eleven results that had to go your way for a mere 6/1. That's why the pros keep away from accumulators, especially big multiples like yours in a sport where one punch can change everything.

I think you know your stuff though, so if you stick to doubles or trebles maybe and take solid returns rather than the potential spectacular ones that require an awful lot of stuff to go right, or at least make sure there's a BIG price for all the risk, so when you eventually hit, it makes up for all the losses.

flanna01 · 29-03-2015 10:32am

Not to worry my little Fur Ball....

Better to have fought and lost, than not have fought at all......

You posted a comment after the wager collapsed.... Speaks volumes.

Still time to get on the 27/1 Flanna spectacular....... Take heart... remember, Milan wasn't built in a day..

magma69 · 30-04-2015 7:31pm

Mayweather pts odds have been widening due to the hype machine behind Pac. He can now be backed at 8/11 on PP for a points win.

I'm going to double that with a bet on Trout to beat Mundine next week. He's 1/3. Mundine has seen much better days and undertook a total hiding from Clottey recently. It would be a miracle if he were to get anything from the fight.

Get on it lads!

5/6 on Boyles which is even better. It might drift to evens then I'll look at remortgaging the gaff.

Why?
Floyd has only KO'd one man since 2007 and that was by sucker punch against Ortiz.
Pacquiao last had a KO in 2009. He couldn't even put away a very weak Algieri in his last fight despite knocking him down 6 times.

In fairness to Manny on another night any ref would have stepped in and stopped the fight

Absolutely, but Algieri was an outclassed, weak chinned, light welter. Floyd is a whole other ball game.

Floyd On Points has now drifted to 5/6 on Paddy Power too and you can get 10/11 on Betfair :eek:

I think by tomorrow some bookies will be offering evens.

Paddy Power, my money was in the account so it was just easier for me. Backed Mayweather pts and another double of Mayweather pts and Trout to win.

It's undoubtedly corrupt, but it's not even close to being the most corrupt.
Football is probably #1, look at how FIFA is run, all the bribes, bungs etc. How Qatar won a bid for the World Cup....that's more ridiculous than anything that's happened in cycling.

Lance Armstrong's 'donations' to the UCI in cycling, the still largely covered up cover ups of drug taking in Athletics. Can't really get into that on this forum, but you probably genuinely wouldn't believe some of the things that have happened in Athletics.
In mixed martial arts some guys have flat out admitted there was 'works' in Pancrase, and Pride FC contracts specifically stated that although they did drugs tests, PED's were excluded from this testing. This was all hidden from the public.

A lot of boxing's reputation for being corrupt comes from the days of mafia fixing fights back in the old days. Is everything always on the level now ?, almost certainly not, but what happens in boxing pales to what happens in other sports.

Now with all that said, I do agree with your point somewhat. When there is the money at stake that there is in this contest, you can never be sure everythings on the level.

Suspect scores happen all the time, but I think incompetence is to blame most of the time rather than corruption.

Did Haymon forget to pay them off for the Quillin vs Lee fight ?
