    If so, who have you picked and what Round/outcome have you gone with?

    If I didn't have less money than duncan goodhews barber I would be taking the 9/2 on a Froch win.

    Payday is 21st. *******s. I would have staked at least a 1'er maybe 2.

    Still I'll probably enjoy the fight more with no bet on.

    I actually think if Froch does get the stoppage it will be earlier rather than later.

    I thought you were pretty set on the Ward win, Slip?

    :lol: Leave off, Will.

    I think Ward wins, he'll make better adjustments. But i wouldn't be surprised if Frochy pulled a rabbit out of the hat. He's deceptive, he off sets some fighters and his boxing ability is somewhat underrated too. He has a pretty good jab and he can box at range. I think he has certain intangibles that can help him a lot here. Still won't be enough though.

    There's not much value in Ward anyway. Plus i'm not a big gambler.

    I really really think that Ward is going to have big problems with Froch's jab and also have trouble with his own timing.

    Ward is good enough to make ajustments but I think he will still struggle with Froch. Time will tell.

    Best price 11/4 now Will.
    This is a tough fight to bet on, prob gonna stay clear of it.

    Dirrel was 9/2 to beat Froch on points when they fought, Ward is now a horrible 4/7.
    If im honest, i see value in 17/2 Ward inside the distance

    I would be all over the 11/4 if I had more than a couple magic beans.

    Really think he is going to pull this off and I don't have the same nagging feeling in my head as I did with the Haye fight.

    I lost £200 on Haye so hopefully Carl will win now I haven't backed him.

    We are certainly due a result!!!

    11/8 on the stoppage i think he was, genuinely thought it was going to pay for my whole Germany trip.

    Prob going to just enjoy this one for what it is, 2 prime elite boxers going at it, defo supporting the Cobra
