I really don't see Trout winning inside (bar cuts), Canelo has a very good chin and excellent balance, but Trout on points could be a better bet.

Not saying it's going to happen, but a slippery, tricky southpaw is every fighter's worst nightmare and I've said all along that this could be a much more difficult fight for Canelo than is generally expected.

Of course, if it's close the big star is unlikely to lose a decision, so I think I'll be covering all the distance options.

I wonder will this fight resemble Chavez-Camacho?

FTA69 · 17-04-2013 5:43pm

Bets for the weekend:

Alvarez KO - 9/4
I think Alvarez will stop Trout. I was watching a video of him in the amateurs and his chin seems questionable. He also isn't a hard hitter and I think once Canelo realises this he'll steam him down.

Cleverly Points - 6/4
He's a better boxer than Krasniqi but wouldn't knock out his own nan.

Tyson Fury - Rounds 5-8 - 11/4
I think Cunningham is tough but he's just too small. The ref will hopefully wave this off in the middle rounds.

magma69 · 20-04-2013 2:57pm

Putting a score on Fury to win by KO/TKO or Disqualification to win just over 32.20 on Ladbrokes. Too big for Cunningham.

FTA69: I like your bets on Fury and Cleverly but I'm staying away from the Canelo fight. The odds aren't good enough imo. Good luck.

Sweet deal! I've had a week off training and was out on the lash tonight, great feeling to come home to a few bob! If Canelo sparks Trout I'm laughing altogether!

Jayob10 · 21-04-2013 1:02am

I fancy Trout in this, he will never be a major ticket seller but he is a very fundamentally sound fighter, Canelo will need to go to a level he has not been at before to win.

FTA69 · 24-04-2013 10:45pm

Khan to stop Diaz in rounds 7-12 is 11/5 while Garcia to stop Judah in rounds 7-12 is 13/5. Worth a punt?

magma69 · 25-04-2013 6:02pm

Deontay Wilder rounds 1-2 @ 6/4 on ladbrokes.

If Wilder wins this, I think rounds 2 & 3 are the most likely. This fight is gonna be tentative as both will be petrified of each other. I'd only have Wilder a slight favourite too, Audley is a real live underdog here.

FTA69 · 26-04-2013 10:16pm

The first two rounds are "feel out" rounds, I'd be surprised if much happened and for me 6/4 isn't rewarding enough odds for a two round bet.

magma69 · 27-04-2013 8:51pm

I said it wouldn't go past 1 rd. Richard Keys on boxnation is a dick. Audley got caught by a very good shot and lost, Richard. As Price says, it's the nature of the game.

Keys is getting grief for being Richard Keys.

He is a prat but I cannot for the life of me understand slating anyone for questioning the farce that is giving Harrison another large purse.

In that segment, Keys shone the light on the farce that can be pro boxing.

The nature of the game? Seems to be the nature of the game for Harrison to fold in round one or two of every big fight he has.

And no doubt we'll get his guff again about his destiny etc.... and he'll earn another purse.

Enough is enough

It's the way he went about it. Can I ask, what if Audley had been badly injured from that shot, brain damaged even. Would Richard think the same. The guy got KO'd. Nothing about disrepute. Audley is like many other boxers going on too long. But, that is a different discussion. Keys was slating the man for getting knocked out as much as anything else Stupid. That is why Price was baffled. He may as well said the same thing to Price. "David, you brought the sport into disrepute by getting knocked out in your last fight."

The guys has been getting KO'd early in every one of his big fights. Its not like a Roy Jones situation where you are talking about a former legend who cannot step away.

This is a bloke who has consistently bluffed his way into big fights without every doing anything of substance in the pro game. Its embarrassing for the sport, I think that was Keys gripe rather than personally attacking Harrison.

If Audley got badly hurt then you would have to point the finger at his team and also the promoters who dangle the carrot in front of him.

I think he was having a pop at the fact its a farce having Audley collect another purse despite showing he folds in all of his big fights. It makes a joke of the sport.

As for saying the same to Price? If Price is KO'd in the first or second round of his next 3 or 4 fights then people will start to question his ability and long term future in the sport.

Harrison is a good salesman ill give him that

walshb · 27-04-2013 10:32pm

Like I said, it was the way Keys went about it. Showed complete lack of respect for a man risking his life in the ring. Audley boxing on is something that should be questioned, and criticised. Audley getting knocked out, sorry, stopped, by a heavy handed and big man is a different issue. Keys was attacking Audley for this. That is why Price disagreed.

magma69 · 02-05-2013 5:45pm

Floyd on points, Mares on points.
1.36/1.

More worried about the Mares one not coming in that Floyd.

Check www.oddschecker.com

I'd advice against it myself. Mayweather is 36, he can't pull the trigger like he used to. He was never much of a puncher at welterweight either. Stopped Hatton and that's it really. Ortiz shot doesn't count for obvious reasons.

Wild_Dogger · 03-05-2013 12:55am

I dunno ..... floyd is a lot stronger physically these days.
He's also willing to engage a bit more, so I'm thinking Floyd between round 9 - 12 if I can get a good price on it.

megadodge · 03-05-2013 8:58pm

He's engaging simply because he has to. His legs just ain't as good as they were. Still think he'll win on points though. Hopefully I'm wrong.

magma69 · 21-05-2013 2:00pm

Froch v Kessler.
Fight to go the distance. 4/6 on Betfair! :cool:

FTA69 · 21-05-2013 3:16pm

I think 11/8 on a Froch decision is great odds as well.

The home advantage of Froch will be a big factor. He'll be given any close rounds.

I think with unbiased judging Kessler should win on points but a Froch points win is likelier imo.

Wild_Dogger · 22-05-2013 11:28pm

The golden rule in boxing betting is:

Always bet against Buddy McGirt's fighters.

The odds have come in even more on Froch. Kessler is now 9/4 to win this fight. Serious odds for those who think he's going to do the business.

Dick phelan · 24-05-2013 8:27pm

9/ 4 some nice odds there might put a few quid on Kessler so i think Froch will do it but i wouldnt say he is a 9/ 4 favourite over Kessler think i might actually but my money on Kessler to win by KO if he does win i feel it will be by a KO dont think he will get a close decition in England Kessler KO best bet to make i'd say

EireIceMan · 24-05-2013 9:54pm

Got this email from patrick power...

If the fight ends within 3 rounds, Paddy will roll with the punches and refund losing bets on Round and Group Round Betting markets!

And...

Nothing to seperate the two
Saturday's rematch between WBA super-middleweight champion Mikel Kessler and the IBF super-middleweight champion Carl Froch looks set to be a classic. And we don't mean this in a slimey marketing "everything is great, come buy our stuff" kind of way either.

Their first fight was close with Kessler winning a tough battle on the judge's scorecards. Froch believes had it not been held in Kessler's home country of Denmark the decision could have gone the other way. Saturday's fight is in London so now Froch has home-advantage.. He's also the favourite in the betting at 1/2 but in reality there's little to separate them

- They're both three time world champions at super-middleweight.
- They've both lost just twice in their careers.
- They've both been beaten by Andre Ward.

- Kessler is 6ft, Froch is 6ft 1 inch.
- Kessler has a 74 inch reach, Froch's is 74 ½ inches.
- Froch has 22 knock-outs from 30 wins (73.3%).
- Kessler has 35 knock-outs from 46 wins (76%)

Kessler is even friends with Froch's mum. This isn't a cheap insinuation, they actually get on really well.

Both men are in their prime and if they perform to the levels they have been in recent years, this could be one of the fights of the year. If there is a shock finish early on Paddy Power has you covered, we'll refund selected losing bets if the fight finishes in the first three rounds.

Alpha Dog 1 · 25-05-2013 5:34pm

What is the thinking of 2/1 for kessler win?

Think he outclasses froch, but whether or not he has the appetite for it remains to be seen.

Wild_Dogger · 25-05-2013 8:57pm

I think in reality this fight should be much closer than the odds represent.

However, with English location and heavy UK betting the weight of the betting money is stacked on Froch.

In a level field I would price the fight as follows:
Froch - 8/11 : Kessler - 11/8

Lets see what happens

FTA69 · 31-05-2013 9:47pm

Marco Huck is 11/10 to win a decision over Ola Afolabi. Decent odds in my opinion. They're both tough nuts and I'd expect it to go decision again with Huck having too much for Afolabi I'd say.

Too easy to make money off the bookies these days!

11/4 on a Broner decision is the next bet.

oddschecker.com mate. A bookies up the road from me gives you the best odds on that site.

magma69 · 15-06-2013 8:00am

The best I could find was 11/5 on a Broner decision.

I'm taking Mikey Garcia at 1/5 tonight on William Hill.

FTA69 · 17-06-2013 4:04pm

The prick in the shop wouldn't give me those odds as it transpired because they were on sportingbet and he says they only give odds on high street shops. I was going to complain that I always got those odds but it might jeapordise my chances of getting them again with a different cashier. I only got 15/8.

Anyway, Jonathan Banks v Seth Mitchell and both of them are dead evens to win. Worth a punt on either of them from a sheer gambling point of view. I'd lean toward Banks.

And the bet of the week so far, Golovkin is 11/4 to beat Macklin in rounds 7-12.

If he's evens to win the fight by KO or decision then there's no point in betting on a stoppage alone for pretty much the same odds.

He's not evens on any of the accounts I have. Also, I really can't see Banks getting a decision, it's either a stoppage or a loss for him imo.

Derry Matthews can punch.

But I think you could be on the ball with the bet though. I strongly fancy Rees and he could well stop Crolla late.
