Your best picks...

i backed b hop to win on points vs.pavlik.not really an upset though.mosley vs. margo ko as well

 

I made £240 when putting on a tenner for Holyfield to beat Tyson at 24/1....

I picked Watson over Benn

And in an inside job, that everyone who knew boxing, was in on, I made a bit watching Jon Thaxton flatten Scrap Iron Ryan.

 

I had money on Eubank beating Benn the first time round.

I was waiting for Holyfield - Tyson to get some money down. I liked Holyfield a lot and figured he had the beating of Tyson. Tyson went and lost to 42-1 outsider Busty Douglas out in Tokyo. By the time they finlly did 'get it on' I wasn't really following the sport so much and missed out. I'm almost crying when I read that I could have got 24/1 ...

 

The truth is, I knew Holyfield had a chance, but still figured Tyson to win. But any one on one competition between two world class operators in a sport like boxing, is not a legitimate 24/1 scenario.

I know other factors go into to making odds, but even on his then poor form and Tyson's perceived good run, Holyfield was no worse than a 5/1 shot.

As for Benn/Watson: I saw Watson/Lee show and Benn/Logan show live. After watching them, it was a no-brainer, it was just a shame I was not old enough to bet.

 

Things like boxrec help the bookies too, and with more markets open and virtually every fight you want, having odds, Bookies are a lot more boxing savvy in this era.

Take the draw; it was nearly always a 33/1+ shot 20 years back, but if you look at the stats, it tells you a draw happens I believe once in every 15/16 title fights (it may not even be that high), so now you get what 12/1 on a draw?

 

I had money on Winky Wright to beat Felix Trinidad which doesn't sound too adventorous now but was very much in the minority at the time.

 

Casamayor to KO Katsidis

 

i got amir khan over victor ortiz!!

ive had quite a few good picks tbh

 

Margarito over Cotto
Munroe over Martinez
Martinez over Cook (most people were picking Martinez)

 

Pac to blitz Hatton. Shame i put my money on a 3rd round KO
