    Im 15 quid down after last nights bout. put a bet on jones as 9/2 seemed like a great punt.

    Just wanted to get you guys opinions on these next two big fights before i blow any money again.

    5/1 is being offered for barrett to win, although im backing haye and i think haye WILL pull through. however 5/1 is pretty decent.
    (haye is 1/5)

    9/4 is being offered for a malignaggi win! pretty decent IMO, and i WAS backin him to win anyway. his chin was tested v cotto, he is younger and hatton seemed a little faded v lazcano. However, what with mayweather in hattons corner...
    (hatton is 2/5)

    thanks for any tips/advice and opinions. :good

    PS mention any decent priced obscure bets you may stumble across like
    for it going the distance you can get 10/3 on haye fight

    JLS are 15/2 to win x factor... :shock: j/k

    Paulie could easily make Hatton look really bad with his skill and speed.

    With favorable odds, I'd definitely put my money on Malignaggi. Hatton would have been ktfo last fight had it not been for the hometown ref. He's done.
    As for Haye: he only took this fight because he Knows he can take Barrett out. There's way too much future money on the line for him to risk it on a real threat. Do not bet against Haye in this one.

    Barrett could KO Haye early, that fight isn't going into the 5th, thats for sure.

    I think 5/1 are excellent odds for Barrett to beat Haye. Haye is pretty much unproven at Heavyweight, Barrett's coming off a good win, Haye has shown that he can be chinny. And moving up in weight could affect him either way.

    Paulie has zero chance against Hatton, so don't waste your money.

    Probably not safest bet but I'd stick the money on Hatton to stop Paulie, maybe by bodyshot.

    i agree with that about barrett

    zero chance?.. i dunno. i think if paulie can gain hattons respect a little he has a great chance of jabbing and retreating his way to a UD. and he has also shown great heart and chin v cotto who IMO offers substantially greater quality relentlessness and pressure than hatton.

    i also think mayweather is a great trainer, but what can he really do for hatton? the base has been built as a pressure fighter. how much can mayweather really change or add to hattons skills?
