I'm not a big fan of Shields. She has a tendency to get sloppy and she has below average power, I agree. With that being said, I expect that her physical tools will carry her to victory over Hammer. I haven't watched a lot of Hammer's fights, nor do I want to. I did watch the Nelson fight though, and she (Hammer) looks slow, which I expect Shields to capitalize on. Will Shields get beaten in the near future? I'm not sure. Women's boxing in general has a severe shortage of talent so she might not get tested for a long time. I think my opinion on this match agitated you for some reason -- not sure why though. We're both trying to beat the sportsbook and we're on opposite sides of this particular match. I appreciate your opinion -- even though I disagree with it. If you're right, I'll tip my hat off to you and congratulate you. I don't particularly like Shields as a sports personality, and it doesn't seem like you're a big fan of her either. But I'm just calling it like I see it, the same as you. Lastly, Shields is nonetheless the A-side fighter, regardless of who is promoting Hammer. This factored into my bet as well. If it's a close, pick-em sort of fight, I expect Shields to get the nod. Even if it's a 6-4 Hammer type of fight, I expect it to be a draw or for Shields to get the nod. That would be a shame, but that's how boxing is.
What's the current odds for Spence vs Crawford? cant find any hypotheticals anywhere but imagine Spence to be slight favourite (probably 5/6 or so)
I haven’t watched either but have done research. I heard Shields is sloppy. Hammer is a little robotic, but if she sticks that jab in her face and moves, I can see Shields struggling.
I have a gut feeling Mike Alvarado might be stopped by the 11 year younger and fresher Barboza Jr... I imagine a mercy stoppage similar to what Barboza has managed against the likes of Luis Solis, as Alvarado is and always has been very defensively porous and is now nearly 40, surely with decayed reflexes and punch resistance. It's available at +190.
Then better take Loma UD at higher odds. It's unlikely Crolla will fight head to head with Loma which might result in a cut and a TD. MD or SD are unlikely aswell. I took Loma UD +550.
I don't think I'm going to play it but the over 6.5 at -140 in the Karpency bout looks like a pretty damn good bet.
@f1ght3rz Do you know what's the deal with 5dimes and SportBet? I originally made an account on 5dimes and it works on SportBet too but all the odds are same on either site. But https://www.proboxingodds.com/ has different odds for 5dimes and SportBet. What's going on here?
