    Kessler betting odds yesterday he was -210 and and know he is -135 at MGM GRAND in LAS VAGES that means all the real money is going on Ward.

    You got lucky then,if you had bet anymore they would've probably had to call their main office to confirm.

    Good luck.

    I'm no fan of Kessler, my gut instinct is just finding it hard to bet against him here.

    Still, Kessler is pretty short to have a punt on.

    Got ward ud at skybet 3 weeks ago when it was at 5s not its at 3s :D.Put 20 on to get back 120 and covered myself with it going distance 30 to get back 51 at ladbrokes.

    Ward has too much for kessler. Cal beat him by giving him angles and its how he will be beat with speed and movement.

    ****ing Wales cost me a small fortune... Why oh why... Should never bet on a Wales game, they're so bloody unpredictable.

    Infuriatingly bad when you think they're going to do well and pretty solid all round when you think they'll struggle. Bizarre.

    I've got a tenner on Kessler at just over 1/2 on.

    Big spender I know. : )

    A whopping fiver if he wins...

    Still, it's bit of fun and don't fancy betting hugely on this one.

    Spent the last 2 years plus on here arguing, sometimes heatedly, about how overrated and limited Kessler may be, then goes and sticks money on him. :D

    Still it's only a tenner.

    That's because you wanted him to lose, so you put money on him just incase he went and won. Otherwise why you betting that amount for a small win, come on ;)

    I get pretty much every world level fight correct and still nobody pays the blindest :p

    Come on, I'm no clown on here I know how this **** works ;) A good bet to lose.

    You could also say I picked Ward for the same reason, but ultimately I was correct. I just knew it inside me after watching Ward that this was a bad fight for Kessler, but I expected it a lot closer. Ward was actually better than I even thought when I analyzed him yesterday.

    On that performance tonight Ward looked very good. Speed, movement, power that Kessler felt...

    I think Abraham's style will be more suited to Ward. He's now my favourite for the tourney.

    Then

    Ward,
    Dirrell(a bit controversial),
    Kessler,
    Froch,
    Taylor.
