    I've seen 6/1 on a Bellew KO. I'm going for it and tempted to combine it with a double on a Hopkins win.

    Hopkins is as high as 9/1 to KO or stop Dawson but I can't see that happening. Probably go for a Bellew KO / Hopkins UD double which wouldn't be a bad pickup.

    6/1 in a two horse race is good enough on it's own. Wouldn't be looking to double that.

    Do the Bellew single then reassess after the fight.

    If you want to stick it all on B-Hop you can do as there will be plenty of time, if Bellew doesn't win by KO you can still bet on B-Hop if you want.

    Agree with Grant, no real need to limit your options.

    Cheers lads you're right. I'm not convinced about the outcome of the fight but in my opinion Bellew can only win by KO and he is definitely overpriced at 6/1.

    I actually think the double is okay since I'm confident Hopkins will win if your riskier option comes off, but in general I think its better to stick to the principle of not getting too greedy if you think you've spotted some value at these odds.

    60/1 I might be tempted but not 6/1 I like Bellew but I think he will get horribly outclassed Saturday, Save your money.

    Also odds on B-hop points and outright dont change much so go for B-hop outright, to cover cuts,dq tko or a ko

    I'm fancying just going on the 7/2 on a Bellew win. He can't only win by KO IMO, a pts decision is also a possibility

    im taking the 6/1 for tony, Clev will inevitably drop his hands and be macho and he will get hurt. He was stung against Aleksy Kuziemski by doing this and i dont think he has the focus not to do it again.

    Can't help but think - some of you lads have got this wrong.

    Clev is clear favorite for me and will win in the mid rounds.

    This, though I'm hoping Bellew proves me wrong.

    I think Dawson/Hopkins will be a lot closer than most think too.

    The far less exciting odds of 4/6 for a DeGale stoppage is the pick for me. DeGale needs a big performance, and will be encouraged to let his hands go after the no-show against Groves. He's still one of VVarren's prize assets, and as such, the first unanswered flurry of slaps he delivers could well secure a (possibly premature) stoppage.
