Did that win?

The odds for the flintoff fight are all over the place, other guy to win on points is 11/2 which is crazy. Obviously the robbery is likely but if flintoff looks like **** and is surviving I can't see him getting it.

 

Waiting on less than 7 rounds in the Price - Skelton fight tomorrow for about £200. Last one of a 6 fight accumulator at about 10/1:

Buckland to beat Foster
Quigg to beat Monroe
Murray to beat Navarro
Rabchenko to beat Vitu
Guererro to beat Berto on points
Price v Skelton to last 6 rounds or less

 

The easiest one last if I was u I'd be ****in happy lol

 

Not according to the bookies. It's roughly 1/2 according to them tomorrow night. There were a couple of 1/10 shots in last week's fights. Feeling pretty good about it though, already planned what im spending the cash on. Skelton's 45 years old, been inactive, lost to Rogan, might well have a go and increase the likelyhood of an early KO one way or the other just cause he's a tough guy and proud with it. And only one guy has made it beyond the 6th with Price :yep

 

this will be the most satisfyin to watch then, no way he goes past round 6, I'm puttin £20 on Price to win in round 1 and hopin Skelton comes out swingin

 

Hahaha :good

 

Im going with Dawson to stop Flintoff.

I haven't seen Dawson fight, but Flintoff looks all over the place. He is so open and un co-ordinated at times. I cant see Flintoff stopping the guy unless its a blatant dive (which I highly doubt). I just think the other guy has to be a bit better than Flintoff and will catch him a good few times going by Flintoff in Sparring.

Anyway, 7/4 Dawson to stop Flintoff.

 

20 quid on Dawson round 1

 

No, it lost atsch

I don't think those odds are bad though.... worth a little flutter I think.

Given that those have come in, stick £20 on six or more.

If he goes over early, you've got around £180 still. If he lasts, you've at least got £50 or £60 for some good predictions last week.

----------------

As for Flintoff, I've genuinely no clue over where to go with it.... half of me thinks he'll come in, take some shots and fall over, Freddie will be a hero again, the other thinks the lad will fancy his chances of making a name for himself....

7/4 is very good. Flintoff hasn't been in a real fight before, so he's bound to be very nervous.... defensively he's brutal, so if the other lad has anything in his fists he ought to get him out of there.

Can't see him taking a dive at 23 years old if he has high hopes of a career. If he comes to fight he can't lose to someone so bad!

 

My main fear is he has been paid off as Freddie could potentially bring in money. Nelson just picked Dawson to win and laughed at freddys boxing skills on sky news. Because its only 2 min rounds I'm taking 11/2 points

His real name is Andrew?

 

**** it, juu another couple of quid on this too.

Dawson looks like he is in relatively good shape for a heavyweight.

He obviously has the better experience. Flintoff is a total novice and doesnt look that great at it either. His advantage should be his height and reach, im assuming, but his jab is ****ing useless by the looks of things. He also admitted to doing bad with nerves in the BBBoC sparring session. He has taken a lot of shots in sparring from what I can see.

 

Bunged £100 on Flintoff winning at evens. I'm guessing unless he gets knocked out he's going to win no matter what happens in the ring. Was damn close to putting the whole thing on him winning on points at 2/1 which I think is brilliant considering there's only 4 rounds. Only found out the rounds are only for 2 mins after I made the bet. Probably would have back him just on points with the same stake otherwise. That's stunning value.

 

Probably pay off but why anyone would put so much on a fight like this is beyond me. Like I say, the guys probably been paid off but if he hasn't he should win.

 

^^ Yeah, ive invested the grand sum of €13 on this fight, just for interest. Putting big money on two unknown quantities is a big risk...
