Docherty 11/10 to win. Good business?

Ladbrokes go 11/10 against "Hot Proerty" doing the bizzo this Friday. Fair old price in my eyes. Your thoughts gents?

yeah good price. Same price as Urkal is to beat Harris...which i also think is good value...i thought he won the first fight.

TheGoods after all thinking are you going to put money on Docherty?
I can't decide what to do. So what are you thinking now about betting on this fight?

Sure am squire. I just think the younger and hungrier Docherty will be a bit too much for Boris and squeak home on points. Obviously gonna make sure he weigh-ins OK but just don't see how the non-punching Russian keeps him off and wins enough rounds in front of a hostile home crowd. You have to remeber securing a decision in Britain now for 'foreign' fighters is becoming very difficult indeed. If it's anywhere near close, I fancy the Doc to sneak it.

Now then 'Big Daddy B'. Shouldn't you be out chopping logs or something? Hows it going mate.

Anyone know when these two weigh-in? Am busting to do my dough but want to make sure Docherty (who has bizarrely been going on about his mams meatballs all week) has made weight sensibly.

How are those great odds? 11-10, you'll have to lay a fortune to make anything significant, am I being stupid here?

TheGoods · Post by **TheGoods** » 14 Oct 2004, 11:16

It's better than even money in a two horse race which seems fair enough to me. If you want a bit more value Blue Square are going 5/4 about the Docherty points win.

put a grand on james and you win 1100. 100 and you win 110

its not bad odds considering its a two horse race and its in glasgow.

Are you the Billy Bessey that knocked out Joe Young?

wasn't this guy docherty stopped in 2 by michael gomez? has he faced anyone of sinitsin's experience?

anyone seen sinitsin recently? i don't know anything about either fighter, but it seems to me like it's a step up for docherty and if he doesn't have the chin, he's unlikely to win.

help me out, i need to win some money after i lost on england/azerbaijan after betting big on 2 or 3 goals.

Billy's Historic KO victory over Joe Young was tarnished somewhat when I was found by police on a roof at the hotel in a pair of Union Jack boxer shorts.

To this day I won't even look at a rum and coke.

It seems Hot Property is lookin well:

"His preparation for the fight has been "spot on" according to John McDemott and this was illustrated at yesterdays weigh-in when Docherty scaled 9st 3lbs 10oz, a weight on which McDermott commented "that's perfect weight for the fight, I'm delighted." Docherty looked very fresh and strong at the weight and his shoulders were looking extremely broad and definitely broader than his opponents, who scaled in at a trim and healthy looking 9st 2lbs 10oz."

Anyone reckon 9st 2lbs is a tad light? Docherty is no Hatton but he will certainly be filling his frame out between weigh-in and fight time. Am feeling a little better about my lumps at 11/10 outright and 6/4 points now.

I wasn't there - but I saw it on Tv...it was great to watch - Joe Young was getting slight hype, and, with all respect to you Billy, you did look like you enjoyed a couple of beers and your food..... an Young was quite muscled up.

And I always like a bit of an upset - kind of reminded me of Chris Okoh - Darren Corbett...when the guy who doesn't look like an athlete does the business in style.

I enjoyed it - did you go pro?

Best of luck Billy - taking Hobson at such short notice and having been on the piss is a tough fight!!!

Good luck for your next fight - I will be looking out in Boxing news for the result.
