Does anyone think 5/2 for Tyler Goodjohn to beat Tyrone Nurse seem worth a few quid? Not been massively impressed by Nurse but maybe he will use his height and reach and stay on the outside all night and out point him, reminds me a bit like Skeete.

Seems a bit too short that one, Nurse should win comfortably, like you say by keeping him on the outside, I would have expected Goodjohn to be closer to 5/1, don't think there's much value at 5/2.

[WelshJack]

I put a small bet on porter to stop paulie, at 6/1

Very good odds.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Boxing news have betway giving 14-1 on Quigg winning on points.

I haven't found any bigger than 2's on oddschecker.

For as long as there is 3/1 Collazo to win the fight around then the 7/2 Collazo KO will represent shocking value. The difference between the two prices is 2.78% which means by backing Collazo KO @ 7/2 you believe Collazo Points is a 35/1 shot. Its not.

Just advice and of course ye dont have to listen but I think you would be better served just taking the 3/1 Collazo and if Khan is up and down all night but sees the final bell then you'll still be a happy man.

Good point. I must admit I don't see Khan lasting the distance but you are right, it would have been better to take the 3/1. The reason I lumped on was because the price came up with Betfred where I have a decent chunk of money online already. As many of you will know it's a lot easier to lump money on when the money is there than facing the psychological barrier of depositing

Also I have a lot of other accumulators and variants with Collazo outright so I am more than covered for the event of a points win.

You can get 7s on this, that's really wide. I'm having a bit. Probably should be 4s.

Lads what do you think of Josh Warrington against Munroe. Munroe hasn't really showed any form since leaving Maloney but in his prime would have been much better than Warrington. Has he slipped that much that he could lose to Warrington? The tipsters think so

[bennie]

Scott Quigg defends his WBA super-bantamweight title against South Africa bogeyman Tshifhiwa Munyai in Manchester tonight.
Quigg, a local lad from Bury, rose to the coveted belt after destroying such opposition as Rendall Munroe and Brazil's William Prado and, despite a deflating 12-round draw with Cuba's talented Yoandris Salinas in his first defence, Scott retained with another powerful display last time out against Argentina's Diego Oscar Silva (two rounds) to stretch an unbeaten record to 29 fights.
The champion moves on to Munyai, a man well-accustomed to British rings and well-accustomed to winning in British rings. The slim, rangy challenger has won five of his six contests here in a career dating back to 2003, with the one defeat coming to Ghana's heavier Osumanu Akaba on points; Lee Haskins, Martin Power (twice) and Harry Ramogoadi count among his scalps. That's good form, and Munyai was sparring Martin Ward for the Durham man's recent abortive world title attempt so he is fit, highly capable and ready to go.
On the downside Munyai's best work has come at bantamweight and he's boxed only four times (all wins) at super-bantamweight since moving up in 2011, which is possibly the stuff of fading ambition and gathering rust, regardless of those wins. In contrast, Quigg is a 'big', fresh, active super-bantamweight with plenty of desire, fitness and ability.
It won't be easy, but on home territory Quigg must be the pick.
Also on the bill, Leeds prospect Josh Warrington defends his Commonwealth featherweight title against Leicester veteran Rendall Munroe.
Warrington won the title in his most recent outing in November with a tasty 12-round stoppage of Hull's previously unbeaten Samir Mouneimne, a win which really proved Warrington's character in the lion's den of Hull itself. The new champion is not a big puncher but he trains hard and he fights hard, and you can't knock an unbeaten fighter at his 16-0 (1).
Warrington continues his education against Munroe, who is 10 years the older man at 33 and dominated the European scene for many seasons at super-bantamweight before he was stopped by future world champion Quigg in six rounds (body shots). Southpaw Munroe moved up to featherweight but was stopped again by the talented Lee Selby, also in six, and this is another test of Munroe's current ambition and capabilities. He was never in the Selby fight.
Rendall is always in great shape but looks a tad small at nine stone and the old fire seems to have deserted him, although Quigg and Selby must be regarded as better fighters than Warrington, certainly at this stage of Josh's career. It makes for an interesting match but Warrington is favoured to come through on a hard-earned decision.

Good analysis Bennie, and in terms of your Warrington prediction I was leaning that way also, but its significant during the weigh in Eddie Hearn was speaking to Munroe and was making it obvious where his loyalities are. Now if he is behind Munroe, surely he must think he can take this particularly knowing after the Selby defeat Munroe can ill afford another loss.

[The Insider]

Can't split a lot of fights that are on tonight so I've decided to go for Tyrone Nurse and if he wins I'll throw it all on Warrington.

[Deno1986]

Few small fun bets tonight:

€20 on Munyai @ 17/2

€10 on draw Crolla/Murray @ 25/1

€5 on draw Munyai/Quigg @ 25/1

€5 draw treble on Munyai/Quigg, Crolla/Murray and Hopkins/Shumenov - returns €71,000. Easy money. I have that new Audi bought already.

[domjon]

Crolla/Murray Not to Go the Distance
Callum Smith KO/TKO

double pays just shy of 7/4

Quit while I'm ahead I think.........

Although Murray is starting to appeal to me.

Enough. Although the odds wasn't fantastic. Only around 1.5/1 iirc.

[Bennyblanco]

Had £5 on

Quigg by decision
Porter to stop paulie
Shumenov to beat b-hop

Pays £400

Keep hold of it then, no point risking it on a 50-50 fight, although I do think Murray will win.

[The Insider]

Had to have a little nibble Murray stoppage.

[The Insider]

Crolla gone 7/1 by stoppage after 1st too.

[Glass Joe]

I put a small bet on porter to stop paulie, at 6/1

You can get 7s on this, that's really wide. I'm having a bit. Probably should be 4s.

wish i put my house on it now

[Bard of Boxrec]

Very successful night with Porter and Hopkins winning. That's one accumulator closed, many more to go

[Glass Joe]

I had Hopkins on points, lucky i never do a UD win as there is always one idiot

[SteveDow]

Yes, won a chunk on Hopkins. Heart stopped when the split decision was called. Thought for a second he'd get jobbed again like he did against Pascal in the first fight.

Hindsight is 20:20 and all, but this price was ludicrous...I feel the same way, should have gone more or thrown it into more accumulators!

[The Insider]

Don't you still need Collazo and Froch to win?????

'I'LL THROW IT IN AN ACCUMULATOR!'

Brahmer stoppage
Pac points
Shawn Porter outright
Hopkins outright
Collazo outright
Froch stoppage

50/1

Would probably be way longer if I could get the Collazo stoppage.

If I listed all the accumulators I put on, there wouldn't be much room for anyone else's tips
