Got pissed last night and put £50 on Jones to win on betfair.........am i crazy or what

MightyWarrior · Post by **MightyWarrior** » 28 Sep 2005, 05:48

Brave man.....or pissed. If Jones is as great as he thinks he is, he might pull it off - but it'd be one of the all time comebacks if he did.

I'd like him to win, but Tarver holds all the aces. Tarver TKO8

i'm still holding onto the faint belief that Jones has something left and the rest he has had will do him some good. I just don't reckon he would have come straight back into a fight with Tarver unless he knew he still had some of the old magic. Maybe Tarver will take him lightly?

Am by no means confident enough to put any money on it though

Was really pissed mate.......got good odds though. Can see Roy get the upset. Jones on points.

Regret putting so much on it though.......always make crazy bets when on the sauce.......had £50 on Williams-Klit even though i knew he had no chance

I won a wedge on the Williams Tyson fight, so underdog bets do sometimes pay out!"! Where can I get the best odds for Jones Jnr, as I reckon he will come through too!!

Be strong Exile, fortune favours the brave!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DON'T BET ON JONES.

for god's sake, please see reason, this is throwing money away.

The smart money, ie the best value is Tarver KO 1, 2 or 3. As soon as Antonio realises there is no resistance in front of him, he will finish the job.

Tarver wins late TKO.

the build up to this has been quite quiet this week.

i'm still thoroughly pissed off that we ain't gonna be able to c it.

i think jones may pull it off.

tarver has a totally different style to johnson and jones has always liked the ones who lay off and box him.

jones on points.

Enough to make grown man cry........still cant believe that fight, even the Tyson that fought Williams would have nailed McBride imo.

Definetly, Tyson looked fantastic for 2 rounds against Williams.

Those 2 rounds he would have had enough to take out McBride, that was by far Tysons worst ever performance.

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 30 Sep 2005, 10:12

I totally agree, I think he would have knocked McBride out in the 1st if he'd fought like he did against Williams.

I think Jones will beat Tarver easily as he is showing a focused and steely determination I have never seen from the guy before

I was so shocked. At best I thought McBride would last for 2 rounds. I thought that even if Tyson was 60 and hadn't trained in 20 years he would still knock out McBride.....

I still can't believe Tyson lost...... I mena even if he hadn't trained a minute, he always comes out blazing in the first round, and you don't have to be too fit to batter someone in a round.....

Apart from that result I am still £80 up this year thanks to Wladimir's win(I keep a record of every bet) but last year I was £550 up....

Big wins have been on Winky Wright (won loads on this), Wladimir, Jamie moore over Jones, Scott Harrison over brodie (£250 put on), Ross Minter over Symonds...

Big losses have been Tyson, Khan-Kindelan, and Bennet-Robinson....

Sorry mate, thought you were taking the piss

MightyWarrior · Post by **MightyWarrior** » 03 Oct 2005, 05:35

He's still got the speed, but old Roy looks a near shot fighter, so it's bad news to hear this particular millionare plans on carrying on boxing. A pointless move if ever I heard one.

He spent most of saturday night steering clear of Tarver, circling away and showboating - the whole agenda seemed to be geared to one result: don't get knocked out.

No wonder he lasted the distance. And still, Tarver almost got him late on with a good right hand: Roy froze, his legs went and it looked like another bad KO was on he cards....but Tarver was knackered by then, and Jones was off the hook.

Buddy McGirt at the end of the round: "Didn't I tell you the right hand would work?!!"

Sad to see a once great fighter looking like a journeyman in there.
