Just lookin at the odds for the up coming prizefighter an there looks to be some value about. Thoughts? Gary Sykes 2/1 Choi Tseveenpurev 5/2 Gary Buckland 5/1 Scott Lawton 10/1 Gary Mcarthur 12/1 Steve Bell 14/1 Derry Mathews 20/1 Kevin O Hara 20/1
Think I'll have a bit of Sykes at that price, but I'll be waiting until we see who O'Hara's replacement is and the draw.
Yeah i agree, the draw is crucial. Had a tenner on mathews at 20's though incase he gets a decent draw
I take it most of the British forum will be backing Choi? (since his thread has hit about a million pages) Personally, it's Buckland all the way for me. He earned a lifelong fan against Murray. He's ranked third among the favorites...how real a chance does he have among that class? He's the youngest, which can be sometimes a double edged sword but he already has high-level experience.
If he gets a good draw, Buckland has a chance. The move down in weight should help him too. Hopefully we get Choi vs Buckland, because that would be a war!
Bell has a decent shout over 3 rounds. As skillfull as any of them :deal Think the Stevie B Express thread may be getting numped
This will be a good day of boxing. Prizefighter, the Irish doubleheader (Andy Murray and Patrick Hyland), Stieglitz-Ornelas, and Williams-Martinez II.
Derry is a good shout over 3s he was winning the early rounds in most of his losses until getting knocked out each time but he has the pedigree and could pull something out here its a great lineup i dont think theres much between a lot of them
are the 2 fellas at 20/1 worth a cheeky bet! I'm always a fan of outsiders anway just want your opinions on this please!
I'm not sure Sykes will win this. I think he'd clearly beat everyone there in a "normal" fight or even over 6 rounds, but 3? Morris started very well against him and even O'Hara won the first 2 rounds. I think Sykes will have to start faster but even if he does I think Buckland, McArthur, Bell and of course Choi have a good shot at beating him.
