Damn. I got excited for a moment

All over Lucas though. 100 on that.

Took the 2/1 Matthysse when it went up, happy they will honour that as they went 8/13 Morales and 6/5 Matthysse yesterday so they cant pull the palpable error crap just weight of money, so that will stand.

Also took the 8/11 McCloskey. I priced it up for a giggle as I do some fight just to see if there is any value about and I reckon he is at least a 2/7 or 1/4 shot. Thats now gone 4/6 so must be some money about, be interesting to see how they come back in with the Morales odds

As we've seen in the past, they can pretty much do whatever they want. I don't think they will call it a palp, but I won't be surprised if they do.

Might have a go at McCloskey at 4/6.

I'll have some of McCloskey at 4/6. Should be around 1/3, Prescott is abysmal.

Not sure why Hopkins is odds against either, I'd make him a solid favourite to beat Sad Chad.

Agree with the first statement he is a 2/7 or 1/4 shot with me - have just had another lumpy bit at 4/6 - see if they move or not.

Dawson/Hopkins for me is each of two, Chad is pretty good and always seems (in his own mind) to do just enough really, dont think he will panic with Hopkins antics/style, if you gave me a free bet would back the draw to be honest, my view is with something that you cant make your mind up with 25/1 or 33/1 (whatever the draw normally is) thats the bet to go for. Worked with Pascal/Hopkins one had 20 on the draw at 28/1, there have been a few near misses as well, for small stakes its a fun bet if it goes to the cards.

One thing I'm gonna start doing is using Skybet's ''exact method of victory'' markets.

Over here our judges can't agree on any fight that's remotely close, and the odds on split and majority decisions are very generous, especially MD's.

Just seems odd picking a fighter to win by split/majority decision.... as opposed to picking someone to just win on points.

Good shout really, if the odds are vastly different its worth giving it a try on a couple of fights to see how it goes I reckon, I know what you mean though sounds and feels odd

Still 4/6 with Betfred and now 8/11 with Boylesports, have had some more, perhaps I am way off here but cant see how he is not around 1/4.

I know he did not do much against Khan but Khan had trouble hitting McCloskey and he does not really have trouble hitting anyone normally so defensively Paul is sound. I know a big haymaker could change the whole thing but a lot of his fights recently have gone the distance so I am not sure he has the power to stop McCloskey anyway and Prescott aint winning on points.

Need the price to go really as I keep having more on every time I am on a computer.

I didn't. If West Brom get him then I'll see what handicap I can get for him. +15 you'd be laughing.
