Had 20 on Polo at 8/1. Always knew Harrison was good as opposed to being anywhere near great.
Am doubly pissed off as I usually stick on a covering bet on the draw as such shenanigans in the UK is becoming depressingly frequent.
The draw was 40-1 on bluesquare.
Isn't the UK now just as bad as the other European countries renowned for the 'knock them out to get a draw' quip?

All i can say is Tszyu must be confident that he can KO Hatton as if it goes to the cards anything could happen.deadpan wrote:Had 20 on Polo at 8/1. Always knew Harrison was good as opposed to being anywhere near great.

Re: HOMETOWN DECISION COST ME £160
I was about to post exactly the same, but I had polo at 7/1 and only a tenner. I knew about the eighth round that polo would win but get robbed, i had a strange apathetic feeling, knowing there was no chance victor would be given the decision.deadpan wrote:Had 20 on Polo at 8/1.

My picks tend to be pretty accurate, the decision was disappointing and i also was about to hedge my bets with the draw. only would have been 2.50 for the same win.
Tszyu has been having live chats at his website lately - I missed the last one, but if I can make the next one, that's the first question on my list. (Actually, I want to ask if he got some sort of "Micky Vann Exclusionary Clause" put into his contract.)stujones wrote:I'm all ready wondering who is going to ref that fight.

Hometown decisions in the U.K. are becoming depressingly more frequent. Hell it even hapens in different parts of the country! I've seen some bloody awful decisions given to Welsh boxers when fighting a boxer from another part of the U.K. - don't get me wrong I'm as patriotic as the next guy, but it's just not right. Gary Lockett v Michael Monaghan immediately springs to mind.
This country (UK) used to be world renowned for being fair, sadly not any more.
You can ask but he won't know or won't care. He's the type of fighter who just wants to get the job done.El Brujo wrote:Tszyu has been having live chats at his website lately - I missed the last one, but if I can make the next one, that's the first question on my list.
