British Forum BETTING thread

Yeah maybe, but tell that to Josh Warrington and his fans that were there last night. Would rather go to a stadium fight and see a decent scrap rather than Bellend/Makabu that lasted 2 mins. Decent value for money last night

 

Agreed. The zoomed out photos were a mockery.

 

Tbf most of my predictions have been wrong least he has the bottle to post his! Doubt he had much cash on the Selby win as confident as you are there is no real value in the bet itself

 

*pedantic alert*

It lasted 10 minutes and had 2 knockdowns. It was an excellent fight.

 

I thought that too....i had Warrington winning quite handy

 

But that's where I think Warrington deserves credit rather than Selby getting slated. From the beginning Warrington was taking clever little steps back, messing with Selby's range.

 

All stadium fights are pointless....unless you are ringside you end up watching it on the screens so you might as well be at home...

Warrington was superb last night ,full credit to him ...Frampton wont have an easy night fighting him

 

Frampton would beat him handily. There's an outside chance Josh's fitness and workrate might trouble an aging Frampton, but boxing is all about levels, as they say....

 

That's exactly what they said about Selby though!

 

...and it was true about selby! But not about Carl.carl wort retreat in straight lines and he has enough pop to keep Josh honest. Carl ud 12 over Josh.

 

I'm not being a revisionist here, I thought Selby would edge this. But let's be honest, when is the last time you were impressed with a Selby performance? Gradovich? He's been terrible for years.

I've said from the start Frampton beats Selby handily. It's all about levels and Frampton is a level above both.

 

CutThroatFade is dangerously close to Dwyer territory now. He needs to pull a couple of big ones out the bag over the next month or so.

Although I was also convinced that young English would have devoured Groves. I'd even pick him to win a rematch comfortably. I think Sheriff Eubank has me under a trance. Put a peak Hagler in with young Christopher and I'm sure I'd find a way for English Jr to win. What a fighter!

 

I'll hold my hands up and admit I did nowhere near enough research into Warrington before making my prediction (Selby stoppage lol). TBF to Warrington, he fought out of his skin. Selby looked like a walking zombie last night, he has next to no power, threw looping slow punches that largely missed and had his head snapped back like a Pez container almost all fight when as Barry Jones stated, he advanced and retreated in straight lines.

Warrington's power is a bit odd to quantify. Selby's isn't, it's crap. I saw Lee's leg's go a few times last night.

 

Frampton hits a bit harder than Selby and is far more compact in his throwing of punching so I think he would beat Warrington comfortably on the score cards. Although Warrington is games brave and super fit so the fight wouldn't be a walk in the park itself.

He closed the distance really well vs Selby but he wouldn't have to do that with Frampton as Carl likes fighting on the inside himself and at close range.

Just my thoughts anyway could be wrong!

 

@CutThroatFade glad to see there is someone as bad as me when it comes to predictions!!

Got lucky with the Hughie Fury fight but other then that its been terrible...i normally always stick a couple of quid on the underdog but i really thought Selby was going to school him so didn't bother lol.

I lost big with Stevenson/Jack fight aswell, wasnt going to have a big bet on it but i really thought Stevenson would beat Jack so had a big one on it in the end. I swear im never betting against Badou Jack ever again...been a sh!t weekend for me.
