Bit early but has anyone seen odds on Kessler to KO Magee anywhere? Was hoping to put it in an accumulator with some of this weekends fights.

Edit - Found it. Considering this:

Price v Skelton - Under 5.5 rounds - 4/9

Fury v Johnson - Fury Decision - 4/6

Cotto v Trout - Cotto Decision - 7/5

Kessler v Magee - Kessler KO/TKO/DQ - 4/7

Pacquiao V Marquez - Fight to go the distance - 9/20

Not certain about any of these apart from maybe Price/Skelton but might be worth a few quid at 13/1.

 

With so much great sport on this weekend why the **** would anyone in his right mind invest a single bean on this PR match up with Freddie Flintoft ??? - with no known form both fighters would be guess work on who wins ...

 

Had £250 on Price round 1 Harrison at 8's.

Not as sure on Skelton, went £100 on the 2nd at 5's

 

Price to win between 3-5

Freddie to win the fight

Don't forget to cover the draw if your on the Flintoff fight 4 rounds with a crooked ref most likely scoring himself

 

:admin if u win u are one happy man, I can't see Price not landin a big punch in 3 minutes I'm puttin a bit on Price round 1 then gonna bet in play if that fails

 

5/1 are awful odds for picking on an individual round.

 

****, I got over excited and looked at the ko odds atsch

 

On Freddie, Heffron and Pricey inside 6. pays just over 4/1.

 

I'm really interested in this actually and have loaded up my Paddy Power account ready to make some bets.

My belief is, that because the match up with Skelton is SO pathetic, Price will carry hm as long as his deceptively large ego allows to validate fighting him in the first place.

Which is why I am betting on the following

Rd1 (in case Skelton has Audley level punch resistance)

Rd3 (if Price's ego kicks in and doesn't want to carry an OAP any longer)

Rds 4-6 (as odds are better and Skelton may squeak through to these rounds if Price carries him/his mauling style is a bad stylistic match up for Price).

Sound sensible??

 

NO!
Its not the fighters job to justify the opponent, thats the promoters, and I think Price would rather knock Skelton out brutally and quickly and add to his growing reputation, than get into a maul fest with Skelton.
I think Price and 2.10 rounds 1-3 are outstanding odds.
If I was to bet on this, and I havent yet decided, Id bet £500 on that, and an extra hundred on Price at 5-1 in the 1st.

 

Iv'e got Price on my double, Price inside 3 rounds and Flintoff to win outright.

 

Because everyone is labelling him as an iron fisted puncher (I'm not saying he can't bang)
