American sensation: smart money going on Danny

bennie · Post by **bennie** » 29 Jul 2004, 10:08

A flood of betting on Danny Williams has taken place. TheGreek.com revealed Tyson has gone from a 21-2 favourite down to 8-1.
Traditionally, the 'smart money' comes in late in the day.

Weigh-in should be soon. Somehow I don't think we'll see Tyson laughing and hugging Danny this time.

Oh, yes. Free tickets to Vivian Harris-Ricky Hatton for the first member to post a photo.

I wouldnt call it smart. More hopeful.

You just cant bet on anyone in a two horse race at 1/12 or anything like it.

They are going for the value bet in the hope that Williams will get lucky or Tyson will get disqualified.

What time is the weigh in.

Tysons weight will be critical.

I'm pretty sure who's gonna win this, despite the late betting, but what I can't decide is who i'll be rooting for (deep down).
I love Danny...I love Mike.
I guess I'll find out on the night when the first bell goes.

What are the odds anyone on Danny winning by KO?

I wouldnt say any money on someone as fragile minded as Williams can be termed 'smart money'!! ;)

Tyson fights so infrequently nowadays Ive forgotten what its like to watch him.

I bet I get the old rush of blood when the first bell goes.

I love Danny, I love Tyson too.

I'll be rooting for Tyson. I always do, In or out of the ring.

Dougie Fisher at Max Boxing has gone for the Williams upset.

DavidPayne · Post by **DavidPayne** » 29 Jul 2004, 11:16

And he's witnessed the Tyson training.

I'm telling you the guy is SHOT and ripe.

Williams just has to believe he can do it and get past the third round.

From there he's favourite.

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 29 Jul 2004, 11:21

Dougie's prediction record aint so shit hot, as he would admit himself. Michael Katz has also seen Tyson training, and he is going for Tyson.

bennie · Post by **bennie** » 29 Jul 2004, 11:23

You can bet on the fight as it's happening on bet365.com.

DavidPayne · Post by **DavidPayne** » 29 Jul 2004, 11:23

Strange both guys are being tipped because of the weaknesses of their opponents rather than their own strengths.

adamiw · Post by **adamiw** » 29 Jul 2004, 11:23

i agree, from the 4th onwards., it's a pick-em. As Dougie said, Botha looked like Ali until Tyson landed that shot, and who's saying that Tyson is any worse than the one now...better if anything.

There's 2 HUGE hurd;es Danny has to get over. The mental one, he has to be confident and relaxed, but remain cagey. And the 2nd hurdle is simply surviving the first 3 or 4 rounds. Then he has a chance, a good one.

Yep, that's part of the intrigue of this contest, both warriors have 'feet of clay' as they say.

Gary Randall, Max site honcho type, has seen Tyson training and has put ALL his chips behind Tyson.

Two horse race, but between a nutcase and a man of questionable mental fortitude? My 'smart money' will be going straight over the bar this weekend.

Randall ALWAYS gets it wrong though. It's looking good for Danny.

I'm similar, except I can't decide who I want to win because I can't stand either of them.

I'm not saying Williams is going to win but Tyson can't go on forever. I keep thinking of Hector Camacho knocking out Sugar Ray Leonard in an often forgotten fight. Leonard was inactive too and it caught up with him in the end.
