Just something to keep me interested in the terrible Scottish card this weekend (apart from the main event of course)
Appleby
Simpson
Burns
£10 returns £415

can see Appleby and Burns possibly getting a result but Simpson surely too small?

Depends how much Murray has left and Simpson's tactics, if he meets him head on then Murray will win regardless because of pure size and strength, if he moves though and Murray's not what he once was, Simpson's in with a chance.

Murray to win by stoppage. Can't find any odds on it though

I am more of a lumper on favourites I am up to £600 from a tenner. I agree Simpson will probably let me down, but worth a shot.

Latest longshot accumulator punt:

Crawford stoppage
Pac decision
Froch stoppage
Malik Scott

61/1.

Annoyed I couldn't get the money on Scott stoppage, feel like there will be great value there. If Malik wins he does it by riding out the storm and catching that glass chin with something.

I fancy a Scott stoppage as well. I think he might win inside 3.

[Bard of Boxrec]

You backing Crawford Keith?

The difference between Scott outright and Scott stoppage will probably be 7/2 against 6/1 or something which is huge when you consider how unlikely it is for he fight to go 12 given Deontay's power, bad chin and openness, and Scott very capable of being stopped too.

I'm not confident lumping on Crawford due to the fact he might get robbed.

I'm not confident because I don't think he's anywhere near as good as some people seem to think he is.

Well it's that time again and I'll be putting my obligatory lump on anyone Burns is fighting!

[The Insider]

Well it's that time again and I'll be putting my obligatory lump on anyone Burns is fighting!

You've got some lumping to do then as he hasn't lost for a while. Burns has done me proud in the past so I can't bring
myself to bet against him even though I think he may lose this one. He could make it difficult for Crawford behind the jab mind.

Can't help but think Simpson Might turn Murray over if he doesn't stand in front of him. Gonna have a lite nibble at that but there isn't much I fancy this weekend.

[Bard of Boxrec]

I implore you all. Bet on Crawford. I have seen the future and he wins easily.

I AKS YOU...TO DO THE RIGHT THING!!!

Sale or return Riddick?

[Bard of Boxrec]

You have nothing to worry about.

This is my betting thread and the bet is Crawford!

Takes a brave man to bet against Ricky Burns, the amount of times he has proved people wrong is unbelievable, right the way back to fighting Graham Earl, who was 20 odd fights unbeaten British champion, in London on 2 days notice in his 10th fight and winning. The jab is the key, if he misses, he has to double it up so Crawford can't counter, then throw the right hand and maybe throw the first to the chest so Crawford can't slip it, then bring the right hand over the top, if he finds the range with the jab, Crawford's in trouble because there'll be nothing to counter and he'll have to walk through the jab and more to get his own punches off.

Simpson's problem has always been that he stands in front of people too much, as Selby proved, a clever boxer can pick him off and I think it's a bit late to change, although Murray's never been known for outboxing people.

We're all broken records on this.

Anyone got any other tips?

Really??? I have seen Wilder improve a lot in his last few fights and whilst a Scott win is not impossible I think he will crumble

What are the odds like on Stieglitz-Abraham, Salido-Lomachenko and Chavez Jr-Vera, if Chavez is better than evens he might be worth a punt because they'll just rob Vera anyway.

Better than evens?

He should be since Vera won the first fight on any unbiased scorecard.

Probably a pain in the a$$ moving funds about but bet365 are going 15/8 for the Crawford stoppage which is quite a bit better than the other major books.

[Bard of Boxrec]

I know mate but I've just opened the account so want to do the free bet thing.

And still it isn't up. Unbelievable

Apparently Winner is offering a bonus of up to £200, never seen that before. I wish it was as simple as stake £200 and get a free bet to be staked on odds of 1/2 or longer, but all of these sites now seem to release their bonuses in bloody increments, useless. Have to check the small print for all of them. Sportingbet told me that I couldn't even put an accumulator on to release the free bet without EACH leg in the accumulator being 1/2 or longer. How retarded is that?
