I was just looking through the boxing market for the next few weeks and two set of odds stood out:

Carl Johannesson is 5/2 to beat Karl Place. Place will be the bigger man but has never been in with anyone of Carls calibre before. Johannesson is a bully in the the ring and still has a bit to offer. May be worth a punt.

Edgar Sosa is 5/1 to beat Wonjongkam. I love Wonjongkam but he isn't getting any younger and he has looked a bit shaky in his last two title defenses. Sosa was a top Light Flyweight and has made an impressive start to his Flywieght campaign so he is also worth a punt imo although I would love to see Wonjongkam do the business (again).

They were the standouts to me as well.
I also think Ustinov is over rated and the 14/1 on Bakhtov is too large, but that said I doubt he will win.

Yeah, Ustinov is a big, strong and powerful lump, but he's not good technically. He seems to have a good chin as well. Bakhtov is a decent boxer, but he's small, and it looks like he was shut out in his last fight, so I worry about a journeyman mentality.

WBC change the decision of Hopkins v Dawson. Take your betting slips back to the bookies and you might get lucky

Had him in the last round when they played Leeds, when he plays he generally scores.

Lee Purdy to stop Colin Lynes tonight @ 13/8 makes some appeal.....Purdy coming off two great stoppage wins against Craig Watson & Lynes in the twilight of his career.

Yep, I'm on this aswell. A real crossover fight and the young gun should prevail unless Lynes can produce one last massive effort which I doubt.

Chandlers had Purdy at 9/4 this morning, by the time I signed up and made a deposit they were in to 7/4, somebody obviously lumped on right there and then.

I got 15/8 with Betfred, might add to that if I do alright trading the football.

Treble for me this weekend: Spain to beat England in the football, Pacman to beat Marquez and Fury to win. Odds of 2.58 with Victor Chandler. Cannot believe Spain are as long as 19/20 to beat England given England are missing Rooney, Gerrard and Terry and Spain have sent their strongest squad.

I know what you mean but Del Bosque sounds really up for this, the big Wembley pitch will suit Spain's passing game down to the ground and I think they'll be looking to make a real statement here.

Had a small punt on Cue Card for todays 4.05pm at Cheltenham at 7/4 with Sky bet. He's in to 13/8 now. Grands Crus is the main danger but the ground being good won't suit him and Cue Card looked good last time out.

I think that price is massive and even if we had our strongest team I'd probably still have it shorter.

Seriously considering having a biggish bet (for me) on Spain. My only niggle is that last time I did this in similar circumstances was when we played Brazil in a friendly and it ended up in a draw.

I've gone for Spain in a fairly big for me bet. Foolish English punters are helping out the odds big time. Spain are on a record run, have picked their best squad available and will be up against the likes of Gareth Barry in the middle of the pitch.

I can't see how they can't win
(I also can't remember the last time I had a win of any note by the way and managed to get through the rugby world cup without a win at all)

Ireland to win 1-0 @ 5/1. I can see us scoring early and then doing a "Trap Special" by parking the bus. We keep most of our clean sheets away from home aswell.

Also went with Ireland 1-0 HT/Ireland 1-0 FT @ 14/1

Robbie Keane to score anytime @ 21/10 - he has a knack of scoring in playoffs.

I also that bet for Spain to beat England. I'll hop on that bandwagon @10/11
