British Forum BETTING thread

Under no circumstances is Ruiz getting the cards here.

 

I agree, any close rds will more than likely be given to A.j

 

Hes still around about the same price you got him at tbh

You risk twenty to win 50 and bet it 2 months ago

Bet today

risk 20 to win 44, only 6 quid difference, negligible unless your lumping on 400 quid or so

 

I look at Ruiz, look at Joshua then think surely not again - he must have been injured or ill.

If not injured or ill then Joshua has been exposed as not very good and I cannot back him either.

The same thoughts keep appearing day after day but I will remain very surprised if Rice Pudding Ruiz Jnr wins again.

 

That angle well covered as Terry Spud O'Connor seen in Saudi recently wearing full Arab dress mentoring the 3 judges on how to score a fight for a Matchroom fighter.

The extra £4.99 PPV money covers the additional cost.

 

Fast Eddie will be pulling out all the tricks.

 

I think you're correct, one thing that isn't being mentioned that much is the referee and what a huge impact he could have,

Who remembers AJ Vs Parker? The referee wouldn't let Parker get close to AJ, he wouldn't let any inside fighting.

If that happens here it could be very controversial.

Ruiz will want to get close to AJ and I believe AJ will "Klitschko" Ruiz if he gets too close, grab him, tie him up, lean on and this is where if Ruiz has a free hand for a fraction of a second he could once again clip the top of AJ's head and cause him problems.

Also body work, Ruiz will target the body, up close in the first fight when they clinched up, got close and AJ held then Ruiz smacked his body.

If that gets taken away from Ruiz then it's a problem.


Don't get me wrong, they will probably needed to be separated at points, nobody wants them mauling and falling about the place but it's how quick they are separated especially early that will tell me everything we need to know about the referee.

 

I don’t know if anyone watched the presser and saw prince khabib immediately shaking hands and chatting extensively with AJ just before the face off. Seemed to completely ignore Ruiz and team. Makes me slightly suspicious of how the fight will be reffed and judged...

 

I would hope and expect that team AJ will have heavily “leaned” on the ref to ensure he doesn’t allow Ruiz to inflict any concussions on AJ.

Since this was the only reason Ruiz won the first fight - ie he was allowed to get away Scot free with concussing AJ without even having a point taken away - you’d hope for the good of boxing they’ll have clamped right down on that sort of behaviour for the rematch.

I’d go as far as saying Ruiz should be instantly disqualified at the first hint of concussion Joshua displays, IF it was clearly a result of a freak punch from the gods from Ruiz.

 

Yes negligible if you only put small amounts on. I’m just still very surprised the odds haven’t shifted much. These are steal odds for Ruiz

 

Expecting there to be some arab gangsters in the ringside seats, who have put massive amounts of money on Joshua. If Ruiz wins this "growing market" will probably get forgotten pretty soon lol.

 

William Hill has a sign-up promotion whereby they're offering a £1 bet on Joshua to win a 25/1

Thus you can bet £1 on Joshua at 25/1 and then place £26 bet Ruiz to win at 7/4

If Joshua wins you break even.

But if Ruiz wins you win £71.50 - 26 = £45.50

 

The winnings will be in free bets...so you won’t quite break even. Can find something with close odds on betfair exchange to use the free bets on though and you’ll only lose 50p or so...plus you won’t have covered the draw...

 

Nicely done pal.

 

True

I was speaking to my dad last night and he was so confident Joshua only lost because he got clipped and never recovered. With the reason he got clipped was rushing in and being over zealous for the finish. He is convinced it will be a Joshua jab his head off from range victory. Kind of put he off backing Ruiz

I rewatched the fight, Joshua did OK tbh, better than i remembered. Landed some absolutely great shots, but for some reason Ruiz just ate them like nothing

Its a hard one to call

I do lean Ruiz for sure

Might throw 40quid or so on him

How much do you have on?
