I'm considering putting a bet on Morales. Still kicking myself for not taking advantage of some of the decent odds that I seen offered for Salido to beat Lopez.
Here the problem with the Morales points bet for me. I think De la Hoya is trying to build up Garcia. I cant see Morales winning wide when he lost rounds to Cano. Therefore if its close which i will be I think, Garcia will get the nod.
I'd steer well clear. Szpilka is a hot commodity at heavyweight and Marbra is a sub-standard club fighter that has had one fight in pretty much the last 8 years. 1/2 for Szpilka to score the stoppage is a much better proposition, IMO :good
Just put £2 on a masai one with Judah, Molina, Rees points, Morales points and Buckland over 10.5 rounds. £265 for £2. Those are all my predictions for the fights too except I reckon Rees might stop him (though that's 50-50 to me). 130-1 isn't bad odds for my expected outcomes over 5 fights. Also stuck on a fiver on my other accumulator. Gonna stick 5-10 on during the night, maybe in play. Big fan of in play betting for boxing. One punch and the odds go wild.
I like Rees by stoppage. Mezzache is durable and only loss once by stoppage, but it was against an absolute bum who previously only had 1 stoppage win in 10 wins. Could he be on the slide or was it nerves on hsi US debut? I think the former
I think Rees has six rounds to get rid of him, after that he'll start to fade and coast to a decision. Mezaache isn't anything special, but I don't think Rees can nail him the way Thaxton did early on, and their stamina is comparable IMHO. If Rees gets him out of there I'll be impressed.
Rees isn't adding much to that, and with it being in France you never know, not worth the risk imo, mind you I also don't think it's a foregone conclusion he wins anyway, though a fair bit of that is down to the location.
I think you're giving Vinan a harsh judgement there, the man is a very good journeyman that has mixed it in strong company. Mezaache, if I remember correctly, lost because he gassed. For the first six rounds or so, he was, for the most part, in control of the fight. I think the travel and taking his opponent lightly was what got to him.
