I was going to have a bet on williams stopping tyson but decided not to becasue ofg the amount of times williams has dissappointed in the post.

I only got 5-1. Wish I'd put it on a week earlier now.

I was thinking that a few of us should put our heads together and form a sort of betting syndicate, be interesting to see if we could come out ahead after a year's betting on boxing. Anyone up for it? We all stick whatever we can afford in the pot and come to a decision on the bets each week.

Well I stood to win 210 quid if Tyson won in the first round (140 on the second round) as you can well imagine I was quite animated when he landed that uppercut and when Williams started grabbing on I was like "REFEREE FOR CHRISTS SAKE SPLIT THEM UP".

Pity the bookies weren't putting money on the Audley vs Skelton fight never happening. I could see that happening from a mile away.

As Gabrielle once said - "Dreams can come true", readback to the old threads. Danny Williams to KO Tyson in the 4th is what I dreamed - only had 3 quid on me (I'm skint), but came home with £240. 80/1

Now its Dean Phillips vs Kevin Bennett, remember my dream about this - can I ask what will the decision be called I Bennett has a problem with his gloves at the end of the 3rd (in the interval) and cannot continue. What will it be announced as a 3rd round win or a 4th round win. Highly unlikely win, but I think it was Hard Hitters who said it was more likely than the Tyson vs Williams one.

I was on holiday, otherwise I'd have stuck a few quid on Danny.

£20 on danny blue square online at 6/1. For some reason, my account was credited with £150, when it obviously should have been £140. Not complaining. The 'free £5 bet for new members' it offered was probably included, but then I should have been credited with £175. Overall, a mystery.

EVERYWHERE had 13/2 apart from the bloody one I had chosen to register first with. :x Registering was a rigmorole I wasn't prepared to go through twice. My bank account still hasn't received the money
