    Just saw on a betting site that Martinez is 4/6 to beat Cook (at 11/10). That's very interesting indeed.



    I've had a fiver treble on Barrera, Martinez and Olafabi. Not because I want our guys to get beat just for a laugh. It'll bring in a hundred squids +

    I can't understand why Martinez is favourite. What have the bookies seen? There is nothing on YouTube except a real old fight where he looks nothing out of the ordinary.

    I really don't get it, but he'll probably KO Cook in 5 and show me why I was wrong tomorrow night! :p

    I've just had a punt on Cook at evens. Not sure how he normally looks but Martine looks drained too me at the weigh in.

    I thought Cook was having an indirect little dig at Mitchell with those comments about Estrada and Martinez.

    I favour Cook here, decent boxer, also the fight is in the UK. Martinez is not the superman some folk are making out, least I don't think so.

    They might be great mates but by saying that it's like Cook is downplaying the talents of Mitchell a little bit.

    He meant nothing derogatory by it obviously but Mitchell might take it the wrong way.
