Boxing weekend 27feb

[superfoo]

Some great boxing this weekend with fights such as Juan Manuel Marquez vs Juan Diaz Chris John vs Rocky Juarez Matt Skelton vs Martin Rogan Rendall Munroe vs Kiko Martinez Dont know how many of these I will get to see live but I hope to catch some sort of replays. Will maybe look at others later but Im gonna have a punt on Martinez to beat Munroe on points 11/2 Betfred In their last encounter munroe took the title from martinez on a close majority decision. My opinion is that KM seriously underestimated RM after he demolishd Bernard Dunne in less than 90 secs and Dunne was touted to be the next to break onto the world stage from ireland. In their last fight RM frustrated heavy handed KM with lots of movement. I think this time around maybe KM has learned from his mistakes in the 1st fight and will not look for the blowout but be much more measured with his punches. This is essentially an even money fight in my eyes and I certainly wouldnt put anyone off backing Munroe but 11/2 seems like good value to me on KM turning the tables in what was already a close fight the 1st time around. Not mentioned above but Im looking forward to seeing Tyson Fury again on the undercard of Thaxton, not really sure what to make of him but hes certainly interesting. Any other opinions about this weekends fights?

Re: Boxing weekend 27feb Am on Kiko pts @ 6/1. Agree with everything you say. He'll know what to expect now, as last time out i think he had no plan b when he could'nt overwhelm Munroe, who boxed the fight of his life by the way. Another reason this is a sound value play, is the MD in the first fight. IMO, Munroe was a clear pts winner, but the judges had it so close with one awarding it a draw 114-114. This same judge is on duty tonight as is one of the munroe judges by 115-113 to be fair but.. Kiko's power is a worry, but Munroe neutralised that soundly enough in the first clash. I notice Martinez has been heavily backed HW and via KO, would be interesting to know which parts of the country this has come from.
