NEW Aussie Boxing Tipping Comp

I have seen the Torres v Cotto fight, and I think Torres was effective because Cotto decided to stand in the pocket with him. He has limited boxing ability and I expect Holt to be too good. That said, Holt chin still has a question mark...

 

True but Torres is not the puncher he looked in the Cotto fight, so that's something in Holts' favour.

 

Hometown judges too apparently. I have also heard from certain sources that Joey Johns has asked him to break his training schedule to run a couple of errands. Something about him wanting to have enough coke to make a map of Australia. Unconfirmed at this point in time.

 

Torres - Stoppage
Oganov - Stoppage *Joker*
Dawson - Points
Fana - Points
Niida - Points

 

I have laid some $$$ on Holt to win, so hopefully he doesnt let me down, last time i bet on boxing i won $70 on Vernon when he beat Baldomir.
But i have lost a couple of bets on the footyatsch

AFL is killing me. I bet $9k on a 1-39 point spread in the winning margin in the Sydney vs Brisbane game and is was a draw. It didn't matter who won as i covered both sides but the outcome of a draw was painful. I had the right idea but lost the cash that night. Bugger!

I have cash on Holt, unless he end up on the floor seeing stars he will easily outbox Torres IMO. I put a small bet on Carlton (that was a lot more speculative)

 

Damn that sucks man, hope you made some money back then.
Yeh i got $200 on Holt, put $15 on the Dogs tonight, we were coming back but lost.

WBA minimumweight champion Yutaka Niida this time won more convincingly after he defeated Filipino Eriberto Gejon via unanimous decision seconds ago at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.

Scores were 117-112 (twice) and 117-111.

More to come...

 

Interesting one this week in that I am the only one tipping Zuniga. Now that I know this strategically it would be possibly in my interest to change my tip to Oganov so I make sure I can't lose ground in the tipping competition relative to those that are just behind me. This might suggest that their is a moral hazard in the nature of our tipping competition because similarly I could have deliberately chosen Zunia to make up ground on those in front of me. I am going to stick with my tip because it would be wrong to change it and how sweet it would be if Zuniga did actually stay on his feet and fight a smart fight against Oganov (not that I think that is likely)
