    ^^ Yeah, ive invested the grand sum of €13 on this fight, just for interest. Putting big money on two unknown quantities is a big risk...

    They've plucked Dawson from nowhere though. He could quite easily be just as bad. I believe he's had one amateur fight to go with his three pro ones (all against opponents who've never won a fight themselves).

    My best guess is that it'll be like those two celebrity fights (Gervais v Bovey and the other one I can't remember, I think Lemar was in it). They'll both windmill away until they gas, Fred will get the decision and immediately announce his retirement.

    Saying all of that, there's no money in betting on Flintoff. There's probably worse ways to spend £20 than chucking a tenner each on Dawson KO1 and KO2.

    Yeah... I think I'll leave it and see how I do.

    If I've got a bit of £££ I'll have a small bet on Dawson.

    There's more certainty to be had elsewhere this weekend.

    My thinking is that one result is as likely as the rest, the fights just that random so just took the biggest odds.

    Odds on Dawson have gone down and odds on flintoff inside have gone up.

    Another under 2.5 at 23/10, this time after five minutes.

    After 35 minutes, the over is 8/5.

    Lay it off, more than doubled up on my stake.

    This Dawson just needs to duck low and swing huge right hands over the top to Freddies chin and surely one will land within the first few rounds. Freddie will be instructed to jab and move and throw 1-2s

    Waiting on either fighter 1-3 in Price fight for a double.

    Went with Vassell, Flintoff, Price 1-3 and Cotto PTS @ 20/1

    Waiting on danny jacobs v chris fitzpatrick odds to come up , if they do round betting danny jacobs is always worth a tenner on a 1st round ko.

    I've put £50 on a double - Price/Skelton under 6.5 rounds and Fury by decision. Returns just over £125.

    6/4 available on Paddy Power think I'm gonna stick £80 on it, I really think Freddie wins this on points, Dawson looks like he ain't seen a gym in 6 months and with it only being 4x2s see Freddie outworking him nothing special...

    I see Freddy keeping Dawson on the jab and out working him Dawson looks alot smaller with not the greatest reach and I expect Freddie to be a lot fitter as long as he doesn't get full on clipped I cant see past Freddie decision...

    And too be honest just from what as seen in sparring regarding Freddy he seems to be able to take a shot and has been sparring some decent fighters probably most better than Dawson...

    Dawson is 2-0 but he only won he last fight against a 0-4 by a point on each card the crowd will cheer everything Freddy throws but we'll see.......

    Did 50 Euro bet on 1st round stoppage at 4/1, to cover my 50 I did 20 bet on rds 2 and 3 at 4/1 and 5/1, what are the chances of Skelton going in the first 3 hes looked a bit ropey in the chin department the last while !
