ALEXANDER FEDEROV/ ESHAM PICKERING

Bard of Boxrec · Post by **Bard of Boxrec** » 29 Sep 2004, 11:28

looks like this federov guy is unbeaten and is 5/2 with blue square to beat pickering... anyone seen federov? is he capable of upsetting the frail pickering?

if he can get down to the weight and be strong the russian looks a handful... stopped Eremeev who went 8 rounds in a war with Graham Earl.
I am assuming it was a KO rather than cut...

Haven't seen him, but you'd have to favour the experienced Pickering in this one.
Impossible to tell much about the Russian from his record - hasn't really beaten anyone of note, and doesn't appear a big puncher either.
Russian champ, but the guy he beat was 3-3 going in....

Fedorov is unbeaten, looks strong at the weight, and has a bit of height on Pickering. But it's hard to know much more. Pickering beat another unbeaten fighter last time out (Martin) so has to be fancied, even though he looked a bit sloppy against Martin.
But he'll probably look sharper this time.

As for Johny Begue, he's exceptionally durable and Cook will do awfully well to stop him. Cook on points is a no brainer.

Guys- get this.

BLUE SQUARE 13/8 FOR COOK ON POINTS!

again, the 'square show they are generous when it comes to odds. Don't miss out. TIP OF THE CENTURY!

to put it in perspective- ladbrokes are offering EVENS for this result!!.

lets just hope begue is as durable as you say bennie.

This is must be some kind of joke. I tried to register in Blue Square and I can't because they have all countries in glob but don't have USA.

Too bad because it is sound like worthy bet.

Andrey, don't take it personally. You can't bet with UK bookmakers as British law doesn't allow British bookies to take bets from the US.

You may have more luck with bookmakers not based in Britain but I don't know who would be offering that market.

well now i am actually starting to regret my decision. Begue has lasted the distance sure, but against weak punching euro standard guys like cyril thomas. In a hard 12 rounder for the euro championship against a guy who will obviously outclass him every step of the way, it's starting to look like a stupid bet, especially for £50.

i sense begue will retire around the 7 round mark.

Thank you for your answer now I understand.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

man, i was flapping for a few rounds there, i thought begue had no chance of lasting the 12 after that 2nd round.

that was satisfying.

man, i'm getting good at this betting lark.

Great!

I am glad for you. I tried to put my money on 12 round after reading your advice, but it is too bad I can't register in Blue Square.
