    Ditto

    Could be closer than we all think tho logic points to a Price stoppage.

    Ladbrokes went 4/6 price 11/10 fury
     
  3. Yeah, the ****** betting never really kicked in for Haye/Wlad the way it did for Hatton vs Floyd.

    I was in the bookies messing about on the roulette machine one day and some lad put a 1-er on Hatton in the 3rd. ''Hit him with one body punch and it'll be over. The little puff won't fancy it'' he said.

    Another put £20 on Floyd by stoppage and got quite good odds, can't remember what they were. The bookie said ''your the first person to bet on Mayweather by stoppage all day''.

    Price. The bookmakers aren't stupid ****s, they very rarely get it horribly wrong. Pricing up a guy like Fury who is technically horrible and defensively terrible as favorite against a puncher would be bookmaking suicide.

    Cunningham vs Hernandez

    Might wack a big lump on Hernandez, he's the underdog aswell, but can't find a bookies with good odds

    Vbookie has Hernandez as the underdog

    Not sure if any of the UK bookies will match the 3/2 Vbookie are offering, best so far 11/10. USS was clear 2nd favourite a month or so ago, 6/4 if I remember correctly.

    Originally fancied USS to take it but am leaning towards Hernandez now.

    Been a lot of money dropped on Cunningham at an early 13/8, I took a chunk of that myself, I just thought he was getting on top in the last fight hence the corner pulling Hernandez out with the cut. Cunningham was gone in the first I totally agree but that makes me feel it was an even better performance to get back in the fight and from my point of view starting to dictate. Although plenty feel the way you do so perhaps I am giving Cunningham to much cred and not enough to Hernandez.

    Obviously Hernandez will get any favours again as well so perhaps he will be favourite clear come fight night.

    Agree that Cunningham was getting on top and on the basis of a fair fight, or even facing a small bit of home town bias I would pick him all day long. Think the cards at the stoppage and the stoppage itself show that won't happen. Evens for a fighter who will get the close rounds seems good as don't think Cunningham will get stoppage.

    What you reckon to Dodson? Value at 2's?

    For ****s sake, was just checking through my bets that I have pending and noticed that I backed Wlad Klitschko to beat Mormeck by points or decision at odds of 9/2.

    I had intended to Bet on Vitali to beat Chisora by points or decision, but obviously clicked on the wrong Klitschko bout and didnt realise...
