    I can't recall the exact odds but a fight that comes to mind from recent times was when I won a substantial amount betting on Jean Pascal beating Marcus Browne

    Put 50 bucks on Joyce to beat Dubois and felt like a genius (followed it up a few weeks later by losing 30 on Smith against Alvarez). Don't do it often since I have to drive to Indiana anytime I want to do it

    It depends if you think the odds don't reflect the reality of the match-up.

    Most recent one I lumped on was Campbell v Ryan Garcia..................... and for a moment I thought it was coming in when Campbell landed that big left hand

    Also got some very goods on Povetkin knocking Whyte out so that was a nice little earner

    Duran vs Leonard I. Hard to belive Duran was an underdog. Also made cash on his fight with Davey Moore
