    Re: 2011 Boxing Thread Stayed off here until yesterday as waanted to watch the fights. Really happy with the way I called the fights at the weekend. Didnt make as much as I could or wouldve liked mind. The Mayorga stoppage was a big blow with the hand as I reckon he couldve made it to the bell and was surprised Mayorga stll waved it off, covered it with insurance but should really have cashed with it instead of going gung ho. Didnt go with the gut with Burns and though profit was made it was low stakes. Also missed the price with Vazquez when I knew I was going to back him a month or so ago but also jibbed on the stake when it came to it. Glad it went as expected but have only read reports and not seen coverage. Had a look for links but it was all Martinez andCotto - anybody any help there? Same appliees regarding a link to the Foreman fight. This fight to be honest I was saved.m The value on Foreman had gone by the time I posted and got round to punting. Plus I had read what Houston said about Foreman dealing with pressre fighters and that put me off and kudos to him for his analysis. Martinez looked real sharap and I will think twice before backing against him again - even with a tickle - personallly I thouught he looked v. good. Not after eventing as I didnt get them on but Degale was 6/4 to go over 3 whichhad disappeared by the time I wanted to make my play as did the over 9 at 4/6 with Barros. Finally, although there was no market I think a decent price could have been had for Grant to spark Fields. This year I had stated I was going to up my stakes in order to hit my 2k but still am reluctant to pull the trigger and I know that when I do it will go tits up:( Nevertheless another profitable weekendso will keep rolling.

    Re: 2011 Boxing Thread Dzinzurek v Martinez Just taking a punt against Martinez here. Think he is semi unjustifiably hyped. Doubt the Ukranian will get the decision though unless he dominate, hopefully not. Martinez is on the map due to his ko of Williams - a punch Williams walked into that was in effect a wild swing. That and a suspected drunk Pavlik being the best wins on his ledger. Dzinzurek to me is quite live though from a technical point of view. He holds a win against the solid Konecny and could maybe cause Martinez problems though I doubt he will get any favours on the cards. Recommended bets 3pts Dzinzurek bt Martinez 4/1 Bet365 3pts Dzinzurek bt Martinez Dec/TD 13/2 bET365

    Re: 2011 Boxing Thread Cotto v Mayorga Cant help but think this is going to be a good one. That doesnt necessarily mean I think a stoppage is inevitable. Mayorga is durable, despite getting caught in the dying seconds in a seriously competitive fight with Mosely and getting spanked by DLH when apparently not right mentally. It could also be arguet Cotto, who was never rreally a one punch ko specialist, has not really carried up his punch damage to 154. Even earlier in his careeer they were more wear down stoppages. I think Cotto should win but Mayorga seems to have taken this seriously and looks physically good but you cant help but think Mayorgas out of ring antics must take their toll, especially in his late 30s. Wouldnt be surprised to see this go the distance AND THINK ITS OVERPRICED but will take insurance on a late Cotto stoppage. Recommended bets 20pts Cotto bt Mayorga Dec/TD 7/2 SportingBet 5pts Cotto bt Mayorga 9-12 6/1 Bet365 6pts Cotto bt Mayorga 7-12 7/4 Skybet

    Re: 2011 Boxing Thread Zappavigna v Vazquez Relatively under the radar this fight.Watched as much footage as I can find and I still fancy Vazquez. His upright stance is a concern and he can look frail but he too some solid shots against Prescott although he was caught walking on to a jab in the first. Lenny Zap is a prospect but he still looks a bit raw despite an inmpressive ko against Kim to earn this.Zap is undefeated but this is a step up again. Decent amateur career but he is not used to occasions such as these - his win over Kim was in a noyt full looking sports centre. The last time Zap fought on tyhe big stage he kind of choked, taking what many consider a controversial decision, though Angulo had a 3lb advantage he still hit the Aussie to much - especially in the 2nd half. Vazquez has 3 losses - 2 to Alvarez and one to Bradley but theses were at 140-147, not the 130 he seems currently comfortable with. A concern though is that Vazquez two best wins cam against sluggers who he relatively easily outboxed, zAPPAVIGNA COULD PROVE THE SAME THOUGH UNLESS HE BOXES SMART AND PICKS HIS SHOT - WHICH HE HAS THE MAMTEUR PEDIGREE TO DO. Vazquez is very awkward though and Sergio Mora stated that he qould beat Prescott stating that no-one in the gym likes sparring him due to his style and how difficult he is to hit cleanly. Little annoyed at missing prices as Ive known I was going to play this for a while. Outright odds of odds against are now BP 8/11. eVEN WITH THE POINTS VICTORY i HAVE MISSED 7/4. Rcommended bet 30pts Vazquez bt Zappavigna Dec/TD 6/4 GENERALLY

    Re: 2011 Boxing Thread 3pts Burns bt Lareya 7-9 11/2 Sporting Bet 3pts Burns bt Lareya 10-12 13/2 Sporting Bet Burns has stated he is going to the body in this fight believing its Lareyas weakness. Added pressure aslo due to Nelsons comments about the best in Scotland etc. Not the biggest puncher but the Ghanaian has shown he can be hurt. If Burns can get respect early and put his opponent on the back foot he may have a chance of a grind down stoppage.

    Re: 2011 Boxing Thread Going a bit stale on here so Im going to ask for - and offer a couple of opinions for this weekend. Stated I would put my Jones winnings on Jennings this week but he is out with his back. Another market Ive been closely watching, as well as much footage as I can is Lenny Zap and Vasquez. Quite like Vasquez but his upright stance worries me but the monet has shown already. Foreman should be able to outbox Wolak but he doesnt like full on pressure and I think that is one thing, if nothing else that Wolak will bring. Burns/Lareya has had a pretty bizarre market with Burns doubling in odds only to go out again. Cotto should beat Mayorga but the question is how? Finally is Martinez a little bit over rated after his last wins? Not sure on all the questions above and input would be appreciated. I fancy a little treble with the main fights but cant help but think there will be some form of upset this weekend.

    Re: 2011 Boxing Thread Judah v Mabuza Pretty difficult to weigh up in my opinion and money has shown for the dog Mabuza. I like Judah to win but am in no way as convinced as Paul. Zab can look amazing in the first 3 or 4 and indeed gave Floyd a good run at the beginning but late on he ALWAYS seems to fade, others have alludeed to negative energy used by Judah. Judah though can be exposive in those early rounds. His gas tank nearly let him down against Matthyse when decked late on in a win some many felt controversial with Argentinian coming on strong at a wilted Zab at the end. At 33 its deffo last chance saloon but Im not sure if he is not showing some wear and tear and despite sometimes looking great Zab has never beaten a 'world class' fighter except for maybe Spinks at the time. That said there is only Tszyu that has ever beaten him at light welter. Mabuza is undefeated in 9 but his best wins have come since his losses in cluding twice going to home territory as the dog and spoiling the party in his last two fights. He will bring pressure which Judah will not like. That said he has not fought in over a year since the Holt win and will get no favours on the cards on the liked Duvas show. Bit lost on what to bet here as I like Judah to win but would belooking at more 4/6 and his stamina late on does worry me. Tbh the Judah decision is my most favourable outcome but at 11/8 there are far too many intangibles. May also take a late ko for Maubuza but will see, just have the foolowing at the moment for what I see as a value bet. Recommended bets 5pts Judah bt Mabuza 1-6 7/1 SportingBet

    Re: 2011 Boxing Thread Whilst Im going to probably go for a similar bet, tread carefully there Pul. Zab was pretty fortunate last time out and of late seems like an 8 round fighter. But like i say I think Im gonna go Judah 1st 6:unsure Also, put your stake on if you want it in the table?:ok

    Re: 2011 Boxing Thread Sykes v Johanneson I think a bit too much has been made of Sykes ko loss in Prizefighter. As we know this is a different ball game, Sykes could well have been a little careless knowing it was only 3 rounds. I felt CJ was on the decline before his loss to Mitchell and unless he lands flush on Sykes I see Sykes workrate and busy punching being a bit too much. CJ has fought questionable opposition since the 2 year layoff after Mitchell and his fighting weight has never been below 138 in those, so he will be over half a stone less in this and will be making 130 for the first time in 3 years. I wonder how much CJ has left and wouldnt be surprised if Sykes caused a referee intervention late on despite only having 5 stoppages thus far in his career. Already on the double but also going 5pts Sykes bt Johanneson 7-12 5/1 Skybet

    Re: 2011 Boxing Thread Groves v Allotey Bit late here so want to get it up as part of a double with Sykes. Fancy Groves to get the business done inside the distance even though there are only 8 ROUNDS. dURING HIS CAREER THE African has only fought 2 people who have won a fight and he lost one of those. Brought in for Groves to look good and I think he will considering the jump in class for his opponent. 20pts double Groves bt Allotey soppage 4/7 Boyles Sykes bt Johanneson 4/9 Boyles Justify Sykes in a bit.

LFCPete loses on only 2 drom 11 and Johnny keeps up his 100% strike rate. Jones beating Karass was the one most profit came from. Outsider McDermott punished Larry in 1 -[sadly 5 rounds too early for a couple of payouts but profit neverthelrss. Early prices taken on the ABraham kp served well for a couple. Lets make March profitable:hope

    Re: 2011 Boxing Thread

    - Brandon Rios (vs. Miguel Acosta) @ 21/20 [sportingBet] (4/10) Shortly after opening lines - Miguel Acosta (vs. Brandon Rios) @ 11/8 [bet365] (10/10) The prices changed as I expected, and I've covered it with an earlier flutter on Rios... Acosta can fight as a counterpuncher or a brawler, I expect the former tomorrow. People point towards the Peterson fight as a reason that Rios will wear down Acosta and be the victor here because "Peterson is a better boxer than Acsota, therefore Rios wins." method, but Acosta is a different type of boxer than Peterson. Peterson stands still and flurries in the center of the ring, and relies more on hand speed than footwork, whereas Acosta is the opposite. His footwork is very good as he displayed in the knockout wins over Urbano Antillon and Paulus Moses. He has a punishing right uppercut that is his money punch, which is difficult to neutralize if you're a come forward guy like Rios. I think that Rios' style is just made for Acosta, and that will be key here.
    Cmon Dafs man! You have been gere long enough to know the rules. We cant have the Rios bet at this time as we both know that price was well gone at the time of posting. If you are going to make a bet then have a saver let us know. Cant take an earlier price and say you backed it (not disputing you did) but for the purpose of the thread -[ these records are meant to be as accurate as posted:ok

    There was certainly something not right with Foster, but he did show us a lot of heart. Agree with you completely about the Hatton fight and will also be backing: S.Alvarez to bt. M.Hatton 1-6 10pts 2.75 Skybet :ok
    Johhny is the new 10pts stake instead of the 7.5 or as well as making it 17.5 in total? Also can you please not edit posts if possible -[ just quote it and add, if that makes sense?:ok Additionally regarding the staking I will work out as posted:ok
