me too, seems good value. I also put a treble on - Nishioka KO, Haye KO1 and Hopkins came to around 115/1, I also put another few quid on the same but with Haye KO2.
That's about as good a value treble as you'll get, IMO.
Good luck and a decent longshot bet. How much did you put on?
I don't actually think it's that much of a long shot, especially going with the separate treble for the extra Haye round. Pretty sure Nishioka is going to do the business inside the distance, he's a shit hot all round fighter and way too much for Munroe who's just going to be picked apart IMO.
Haye is very likely going to flatten Audley with the first big one he lands, and Pascal's style suits Hopkins down to the ground and I see the Hopkins who beat Pavlik outboxing Pascal in a similar manner.
Nishioka is good, but he is not the masterful boxer many are making him out to be. I think Nishioka will end up winning a clear cut decision, but I certainly think Munroe can be competitive, and would not be shocked if he won.
Chocolito Gonzalez is a bit wild & woolly, but what a left uppercut!
Crushes Rosas from Mexico in the second, three knockdowns but got badly wobbled by a brutal straight right just before.
Him versus the real Light-Fly champ, Mexico's Giovanni Segura, would be a total wild-swinging pub carpark slugfest & would probably make Autobarn come in his pants.
I love watching boxing from Japan. Because you get to see such a wide variety of top fighters & stuff, good even fights, & there's an atmosphere that you get even from TV -- the reverence, the "oohs" & the polite applause. It seems cool.
Also, it reminds me of the ITV fights we got at random times in the late 80s & ealy 90s, with Reg & Jim commenting on Khaosai Galaxy or Humberto Gonzalez or summink.
I love to see a Brit fighting the top dude in a division. Anyone who saw Jhonny Gonzalez fvck up Jackson Akiku the other day will know how hard he is, & Nishioka KTFO'd him.
Also, I disagree with Johnny Nelson's summation of judging in Japan. Hugo Cazares recently beat a popular Japanese champion (Nobuo N.), Pongsaklek Wonjongkam got the nod over Koki Kameda & KK is apparently like God over there, so I think it's possible to get a nod against a home fighter there...
I'm at work...... Gutted... need to dodge the result till later. Really hope Rendall does it, but on the other hand i've got £3.17 on the jap so that stand me to make a £1.04 profit. I'm really torn between the pair of results... ANOTHER world champ for Britain, or £1.04- either way i'm going to be very happy and sad.
Yep, the Japanese looks a world apart from Rendall. massive experience - huge upset for Randall pulling this off, cant see it happening at all. Munroe would have to put in a Honeyghan style performance.

Mate, you do it if you can.
I've got the in laws round and am already looking like a c**t.
