Huge rick from them. Got the KO and PTS completely the wrong way round

 

Might be a little optimistic with this one but I've had a wager on a accumulator over the next couple of months

Chavez Jr outright
Donaire outright
George Groves TKO/KO
Kell Brook 8-12 or PTS
Mayweather 8-12 or PTS

100 to return 530.

Initially I was going to lump a hundred on Chavez Jr to decision Rubio but I think its to risky. Chavez Jr could get a premature stoppage so that's a no go, plus Rubio possesses KO power to pull the upset. I'm confident Chavez Jr gets the win the weekend though.

Also, Kell Brook is worth looking at vs Matthew Hatton, 6/4 with Paddypower for a points victory. Again, a chance of a premature stoppage though.

 

Big gamble going on for McKenzie Round 1 - gone from 14/1 down to 9/2 in a place, there are 6/1 and 7/1 available and 10/1 with Boylesports but some have suspended and seems to be a wholesale gamble. Some prices quoted your would think Naz Hamed was back!!

Presumably the people in the know expect McKenzie to come out swinging, no value now I don't think personally but I guess if we knew something......

 

Yeah, someone is trying to lay 9/2 on round 1 on Betfair.

Can't see a one round blowout, Dodson has been stopped a few times and McKenzie is a four round fighter. Someone is reading too much into this I think.

 

That was my initial feeling as well, just curious as to how late it all went on as if someone had planned to come at them late and early this morning hoping they might catch them off guard. If McKenzie comes out and blows his load and don't get rid of Dodson, he loses this fight for me, think Dodson could even stop him late if McKenzie goes too early. Intriguing little affair now.

 

Yeah it is, looking forward to it.

Think I'll leave it alone from a betting point of view though.

 

Dodson wins on points at 7/2.. Only way he wins is if he blows Tony away early and Ovill is no Froch.

 

Yeh there's been a big "dodgy" gamble rounds 1-3 across the board. Would leave well alone chaps

 

Wakefield to beat Widnes in the Super League tonight.... 13/10.

 

10 down on chisora in rounds 7.8.9 @50-1 stupid but got a feeling vitali is gonna age in this fight.
And 100 down on macklin martinez on a draw at 33-1 just got another feelin about that one

 

It could just be Lirva and his followers!

I may go for a small interest bet on Dodson. You doing your blog this week Escobar?

 

The draw/technical draw method might be worth a couple of quid for the McKenzie fight at 40/1 when you take into account how susceptible Dodson is to cuts.

 

Literally just done it! http://mandatoryeightcount.wordpress.com/

 

Yeah that's a good shout, I fancy Ovil to win tonight.

 

Cheers, good read.

Any thoughts on Miranda v Chilemba?

Going for Hernandez outright and Dodson outright. If they come in may look at the American Football.
