1st thing tomorrow my accy will be Cleverly - stoppage Brook - stoppage Khan - points Macklin - stoppage Ortiz - stoppage still swithering on DeGale on points - think I might give it a wide berth.
Cant see there been great odds available. I think Smith is too big at 7/2, dont neccesarily tink he will win but he has a better chance than the odds would suggest. Macklin is fighting a bum so wouldnt touch that as there wil be no value. Cleverly I think might struggle after the change in opponent, it usually has a detrimental impact upon performance so he might go to points. I reckon Khan will box the head off Madiania but I don't know wether to go for a late stoppage or points win.
DeGale by exactly TKO is evens on SkyBet. Not worth it for me. Still can't believe he's 6 to 1 on to win outright! I think DeGale will just about win but that's mental and it's a shame Smith's odds aren't slightly better than just over 3/1 to win.
DeGale KO/TKO/DQ is best price 10/11 @ Tote or BetFred. [url]http://www.oddschecker.com/boxing/james-degale-v-paul-smith/method-of-victory[/url]
Daft outside bet for a quid: DeGale MD 66/1, not too outlandish given it's Smith's home town and the scorecards sometimes give him a bit more credit than he deserves imo.
66/1 for that is a great value bet in my opinion. Personally I think it'll be a close fight and a majority or split decision isn't too unlikely.
66/1 I will pop a quid in then, maybe a quid each. Agreed with the 2 of you ^^^. I have 20 on degale UD 4/1 a while back.
I had: Bailey to win DeGale by decision Maidana by stoppage something like 25/1, but apparently Bailey was robbed in Belgium (scored early knockdown/s, but the fight ended as a no-contest).
