It seems Sky have only listed Sky sports fights only but what do you think of the list ? Hatton v Kosta at 4 is a bit to high up for me , it was a slight upset but Hatton was fancied by many and Kosta was only around 2/5 at the bookies! The Khan Prescott still shocks me to this day Warren thought that was a good idea , Frank Warren the man who is usually very careful with his match making for his fighters !! Khan had shown vulnerabilities a plenty before that fight and decided to put him in with a guy with that record and power! One of Warrens worst nights in boxing I bet ! This content is protected
you'd never believe it now but , i backed tony thompson to beat price at 28/1 the first time , also had helenius a few weeks ago at 25s , joshua ruiz has to be up there , can also remember selby at 6/1 to beat steven smith , although not massive price and off topic , kovalev to beat cleverly at 7/4 was the bet of the century with hindsight !
no way was Kovalev outsider against cleverly another weird one from Warren ! Saying that was he mandatory?
Carl Thompson vs David Haye gets glossed over a bit because it was on the BBC- I can remember that being a massive upset at the time.
Rice Pudding Ruiz Jnr v Tony Dosh PPV is the biggest by a mile for years and years if we ignore Natasha Jonas at 1/100 odds on being stopped by Tesco Tomato Can. Khan v Prescott was probably the one before that which left people stunned/delighted.
Kovalev Cleverly were about the same price. Around 10/11 the pair. Still a steal on Kovalev but he wasn’t 7/4.
Funny though in hindsight because Haye was just a novice with no rounds under his belt and Thompson a battled hardened seasoned world class vet
kovalev odds on night of fight and day before shortened massively , i and a few others had the 7/4 week prior , the natasha jonas one as mentioned above might be the biggest ever odds wise , biggest sickener i can recall was betting my months wage on provodnikov vs bradley @8/1 , and him nearly ko ing bradley multiple times and then getting robbed lingers lol
Not really a big fight. But Sam Eggington was signed to fight on a AJ undercard but wanted a tune up about 4 weeks out. Think his original opponent pulled out and they flew in some random African no one had heard of. Think some books had the African bloke at 100/1+ Eggington then used his chin as a defence and got stopped in 2. The random fighter then ran around calling out Kell Brook.
I remember this one, mawinkyo or something like that. Just checked boxrec and he’s still winning but fighting bums back in South Africa Funny how some fighters get a huge upset but then do very little from it. the khan prescott fight stunk afterwards, didn’t it come out that the new trainer they got for khan was originally Prescotts trainer? I reckon a lot of money was won that night by some people who knew what was going on
Sam Eggington getting beat by ANYONE is not a surprise. That Tanzanian lunatic took him out with ease.
