British Forum BETTING thread

I just got the feeling that Ola takes it this time mate.he's the boxer in this fight and I gotta stick to my guns that the boxer nearly always beats the fighter....even after having failed to do so twice.....3rd time lucky maybe!?
Ola really is in the best shape ever this time too.....I see him even nicking a late stoppage.
What makes you so confident of a lopez win mate as I see you can get 9/4 on the outright??
Thanks....

 

Ola is defiantly in this fight, but considering Huck is fighting in his territory you'd have to favor him IMO. I just can't see Ola winning 7-8 clear rounds which is most likely needed to steal a victory. Huck will probably nick rounds. I'm afraid to bet on Ola due to the location and his inactivity. It's questionable. And we know Huck comes to fight and will go hard for 12 rounds.

I just see Lopez outworking Maidana. I really do. Maidana gets sloppy late on and Lopez will put it on late. Maidana will gas in a high tempo fight. I think Lopez is underrated personally. Lopez beat Jessie Vargas for me and he put up a decent effort v Alvarez. I see Lopez winning a decision here. That's just how I'm seeing this fight.

 

My British betting experience:

I was in England some years ago and I love the fact that you can bet on just about anything (including elections, haha). So one of the things I most wanted to do was place a bet on a fight. I was there in the "offseason" as they called it, so there weren't a lot of choices while I was in country.

But there was a minor title fight, I think WBO flyweights, in Scotland. I just looked it up: Isidro Perez of Mexico was defending against Pat Clinton.

I made a wager on Perez. The fight was not televised, but I found it on the radio and listened to every round. The commentators throughout the fight had Perez dominating, winning most every round. They lamented how overmatched the local lad was and how he just didn't have it.

Then the announced the decision ... and Clinton won.

All of a sudden, the same announcers switched tracks and went on and on about how BRILLIANT the Scotish lad was and how the poor Mexican champ just wasn't able to overcome Clinton's clever boxing.

I had a good laugh and tore up my ticket.

Never again.

 

You need to get out more mate

 

A little Rugby League bet, Wigan are -6 on the handicap away @ Widnes. Wigan are top of the league and Widnes are 10th. Also Leeds are playing @ home to Castleford who are bottom of the league Leeds are -12 on the handicap. In a double with a £10 stake that's a good bet.

 

I thought ola was boxing hucks head off last fight til he gassed and huck came on, the draw was a fair result that night but unless ola knocks huck out i dont see him getting a share of the decision at all this time just cos hucks on home turf...huck points is a safe bet

Just done my accy for saturday

huck points
Lara points
lopez
dawson points
gamboa 1-6
degale 1-6

5 returns 786...fine with me

 

I got either fighter 1-12 on degale fight and fully expect degale to stop the old fellow - this was at a better price than degale 1-12.

I would think dawson should win, perhaps put some on a draw to cover - this would be my bet (not sure how much I will have on this fight dependent on degale fight outcome - basically i need to win that bet!) I'm not really touching huck fight, very hard for ola to win considering last 2 results.

 

There's a lot of tempters in the boxing, but nothing that really grabs me too much.

Might leave them all alone.

 

A few quid on the draw in the Maidana-Lopez and Huck-Ola fights

 

Angulo 6-1 for the KO, is he really that much of an underdog?

 

Hes not really looked the same since he came back and lara is a far superior boxer , i cant see anything other than wide UD for lara

id say stevenson catching Dawson is alot more likely (although i hope not....stevensons a ****)

 

Ah, yeah was looking at Stevenson by KO because I think he could pull it off, but he's only at 5/2 and I don't like betting on fighters who I really want to lose, conflict of interests lol.

Was hoping the Angulo odds provided value, but admittedly not seen anything of him since the Kirkland loss. If he's as big of an underdog as the odds suggest I'll pass

 

Good weekend of fights and definitely hard to call, have gone for a 6 fold accy -

Degale - KO
Huck - Points
Lara - Points
Maidana / Lopez - Either on points
Gamboa - KO
Dawson - Any method

I know exactly what u mean , got a bad feeling adonis comes on strong and stops him late...even though he aint great...i think this fights more down to which dawson shows up.

oh and i like this bet and for a quid why not

Angulo was outboxed pretty clearly by Kermit Cintron.

Lara will toy with him.

The only issue here is the method of victory.... I can see a stoppage.
