I prefer it to be honest.

As for Bell-he got runs vs SA and now Bangladesh.England play Bangladesh and Pakistan in tests in the English summer.The real test is Australia in the winter coming.We'll wait and see.Cook aswell.He had a **** Ashes tour in 06/07,he has to prove himself.

 

I never understood why people put pointless bets like that in? Just for the sake of £2. odd?

 

Its actually £7 odd :nono

Plus, barring the boxing upset of the year, I think it is a pretty safe bet :yep:good

 

Well ok £7. odd when the others have come in, It looks a sure think but just not worth the risk at all, so you got £170.00 riding on something that gets you an extra £7 quid?? I just don't see the point.

That's just my opinion.

 

I fully understand that opinion. :good

TBH I only put it on the betting slip because it was there, I wouldn't normally do it either :good

 

get on that now

he has the skills to make it close and i see them giving him a close one

 

I've got £20 riding on the boy Dirrell. BWin had 5/2 at the time, so I've got the matched 1st deposit bonus on him too, so £40 in total. A decent amount for a tight-ar$e like me. I just think this is great value. Froch couldn't land any clean shots on Dirrell, and King Arthur's slower than Froch. Of course, if AA connects it's lights out for the Matrix, but I think Abraham's made for him.

Was half-tempted by Dirrell on points instead, but chickened out.

 

Seriously don't even contemplate this.

Dirrell is nothing, he has just been reliant on outspeeding equally unskilled opponents thus far in his career.

A slight speed advantage will mean nothing here.

 

Ha, neither of 'em are gonna be troubling Usain Bolt anytime soon! Dirrell impressed me towards the end of the Froch fight after he'd grown a pair and stopped running (as much). His elusiveness coupled with Abraham going to sleep behind his guard for the first few rounds will practically give Dirrell a 3-4 round headstart on the cards to boot! On home soil too? Damn! I love this bet so much, I'm gonna put it on all over again.

 

Completely sure, I don't need to fabricate facts to justify the pick.

Jermain Taylor of rounds 1-4 is vastly superior to Dirrell, much more mult-dimensional. He actually has skill. Abraham was matching him pretty early on.

AA is catching all of Dirrell's fast, but basic shots.

People have been confusing speed and skill here.
