Price. The bookmakers aren't stupid ****s, they very rarely get it horribly wrong. Pricing up a guy like Fury who is technically horrible and defensively terrible as favorite against a puncher would be bookmaking suicide.
Not sure if any of the UK bookies will match the 3/2 Vbookie are offering, best so far 11/10. USS was clear 2nd favourite a month or so ago, 6/4 if I remember correctly. Originally fancied USS to take it but am leaning towards Hernandez now.
Been a lot of money dropped on Cunningham at an early 13/8, I took a chunk of that myself, I just thought he was getting on top in the last fight hence the corner pulling Hernandez out with the cut. Cunningham was gone in the first I totally agree but that makes me feel it was an even better performance to get back in the fight and from my point of view starting to dictate. Although plenty feel the way you do so perhaps I am giving Cunningham to much cred and not enough to Hernandez. Obviously Hernandez will get any favours again as well so perhaps he will be favourite clear come fight night.
Agree that Cunningham was getting on top and on the basis of a fair fight, or even facing a small bit of home town bias I would pick him all day long. Think the cards at the stoppage and the stoppage itself show that won't happen. Evens for a fighter who will get the close rounds seems good as don't think Cunningham will get stoppage. What you reckon to Dodson? Value at 2's?
For ****s sake, was just checking through my bets that I have pending and noticed that I backed Wlad Klitschko to beat Mormeck by points or decision at odds of 9/2. I had intended to Bet on Vitali to beat Chisora by points or decision, but obviously clicked on the wrong Klitschko bout and didnt realise...
Phone them up and ask if they will void it for you. As long as the price hasn't moved against you most firms will void it for you
I watched the 1st fight again yesterday and I gave Hernandez the first four with Cunningham taking 5 & 6. I agree that Cunningham was beginning to get on top but I wonder how much that was to do with the cut. He was certainly visibly affected by it I thought. I initially thought the fight not to go the distance was going to be a bet but when i priced it all up yesterday I couldn't find any value in that bet. Saying that, I don't think it does go the distance. The orthodox v southpaw style clashed so badly in that first fight. There was the clash of heads obviously but they kept falling over each other loads, leaving them both open for attack. It's a very hard fight to call
I had USS taking the first fight, bar the knockdown i can't remember scoring any more rounds to Hernandez. I think Cunningham will bounce back and win on points.
