WD Winners, not sure the stoppage was warranted but think he would have got him out of there anyhow

Guys, I have an URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT to make for people who enjoy money!

Terence Crawford is available to beat Ricky Burns at 1/2.

I fully expect this price to shorten drastically when people catch on to the GALA EVENING OF FREE MONEY that the bookies are very charitably offering on March 1.

LIMITED TIME ONLY - I predict the price for Crawford come fight night will be no better than 2/7!

Get your wheelbarrows ready and thank me later.

Have been looking at this for a while and I'm apprehensive of splashing my hard earnt that I won on the Selby stoppage last week.

@1/2 you've really got to lump on to gain a decent return (not that I mind going large when I'm convinced it's a certainty) so I think I'll pass on this but wish you the best of luck.

Insider! I urge you to reconsider! This is the best value since Kovalev 6/4 Cleverly stoppage!

Well, at least it's a definite accumulator play. My money is tied up now so more shall have to be shovelled in for Chisora UD Johnson.

[The Insider]

Lol! I well and truly missed the Kov train.

Selby was the one last week.

Hirales is 4/6 to best Vargas this weekend. They drew over shorter duration a few fights ago and where vargas has looked shocking in his last few mustering losses, majority decisions and draws, Hirales has looked decent enough.Raul is no world beater but unless a reinvigorated Fernando turns up I expect a win for Hirales.

[Boxing Prospect]

Tempted to have a nibble on Shafikov at 9/4 over Vazquez. On an ordinary day I'd have backed Vazquez but he's been inactive as hell recently.

[Bard of Boxrec]

Wlad to decision Leapai is available at 7/1 on Paddy.

Now I know Leapai isn't very good but Wlad's workrate is just so poor these days and he just doesn't commit to the right hand very much. Seems like there's a decent chance that the inevitably awful mauling spoiling affair that is the Wlad show will muddle through the full 12 rounds?

comments from anyone who knows more about Leapai's chin or likely ability to evade Wlad's huggie bear routine would be welcome.

Kevin Johnson stopping Leapai is of course a massive concern but the only way I can gain value from Wlad's pathetic existence is winning bets on him.

[Old bones Ian]

Even the cautious 2013 version of Wlad will knock out Leapai.

Brian Vera at 4/1 to beat Chavez Jnr looks worth a punt.

I can't discount some home town shenanagins coming to the rescue for Ricky and then there's also the fact that Burns is a hell of a gutsy fighter.

Ha ha home town shenanagins - looks likely to me.

To be fair Crawford is facing a bigger step up than Burns. This is his first World Title shot and Burns has been here and done it before. The value would be with Burns.

Hirales won by TKO in the 8th

Does anyone know anything about the BETDAQ £500 bonus? It babbles on about 'accumulating commission', have no idea how to clear the bonus though? Anyone use this service before? thanks

What do people think about Vivian Harris - Skeete? I know Harris hasn't won for ages but Skeete seems a little vulnerable. I expect him to win on points; but the straight win is 7/2 for harris. He can still punch

I was wondering about this. Never seen Skeete but I do know that the once very good Harris is shot to shit. I'm going to do a bit of research and see whether a punt on Harris is good value.

EDIT just saw that Harris was apparently good enough to split decision a 23-1 guy last time out, but the other guy had fought noone.

On the other hand, Skeete has all these crappy points wins against stiffs...

tough to call whether the value is there for Harris?

Think Skeete takes this relatively comfortably. The more I see of Skeete the more I am impressed by him.

[keithmoonhangover]

Fury inside three looks likely.

Every time you accumulate 100 in paid commission you get a 25 free bet. You pay a small percentage commission every time you win. It's a good offer if you gamble regularly or large sums. If you bet the odd tenner here and there it will take a lifetime.

Even though Lyons put him down last time?

I think it is closer than most think so I'd have to say the value is with Harris but I'm not confident enough either way so wont be betting. If I had to I'd say Skeete points.

He was knocked down but handled it well. Didn't panic and never looked really hurt. When he keeps his distance and uses his jab he looks very classy. Maybe I need to have a look at Harris a bit more before I get too confident..

[Bard of Boxrec]

i think I'm gonna throw Harris in an accumulator. I watched a bit of Skeete/Lynes but got bored, Skeete seemed to be fairly solid? I think Harris is likely to be in disinterested opponent mode but what the hey, it's an accumulator. Will do a few variations.

Thanks mate, any chance you could put this into an example though please? EG, I deposit 500, I bet X, at odds of X, I win, I pay X commission, that releases £25? I can put the £25 on at odds of x, or any odds?
Thanks

Is everyone agreed that Chisora scoring a turgid decision over Kevin Johnson is a pretty safe bet at 4/7?

[Bard of Boxrec]

Holy chit, only just saw this. Bloody hell, nice job! Can you tell us about the 10/1 shot?

[keithmoonhangover]

Is everyone agreed that Chisora scoring a turgid decision over Kevin Johnson is a pretty safe bet at 4/7?

I can't see it going the distance mate. Johnson doesn't have a lot of foot movement and will likely be in front of Chisora for most of the fight. He relies on covering up and countering. Against Fury he was forced to try and chase Fury and really struggled to get off. He won't have that problem with Chisora and Chisora's style will give Johnson a lot more opportunity to counter. Del's chin ain't what it used to be, add to that Chisora style lends itself to wearing people down and land the odd bomb. I just can't see this one going the distance, it might, but I certainly wouldn't bet on it.

Are you saying you fancy Johnson by stoppage?
I see your point about the styles meaning a stoppage is more likely in the sense they'll probably be in a phone booth, but I don't see Del's come-forward style as suddenly lighting a fire under Kevin. In my book, Johnson can always be relied upon to not show up.

Just think that Johnson's negativity will see Chisora pounding away on arms and elbows all night but with not much coming back. Johnson might have the odd moment, because as you point out it will be contested at close quarters, but Kevin's toughness and Del's lack of power equals decision for Del for me.
