moraga is 2/1 to beat scoggins at this weekends ufc.
I know historic partners arent the best way to analyse a fight.
But Moraga bt Ortiz va SD and Ortiz bt Scoggins by SD.
All very close but 2/1 on the more experienced fighter who has fought better opponents and only lost to elite (Johnson and Dodson) seems large, especially when his opponent at present is more hype/potential than actual substance.
Im not saying its a guaranteed win but is pretty attractive from a punting perspective.
At the end its all about styles but Scoggins best/maybe only chance is to outwrestle him and Moraga is one of the hardest hitters in the division.

Not sure. I haven't seen him fight. He hasn't won a worthwhile fight for 2 years.
But that was against a good opponent....
Joshua rnd 4 is 12-1. Might stick a fiver. Airich is 22-1....
Airich is gonna lie down in rd1. Watch him against Manuel Charr. Got ambushed by the crude swinging Charr, went down from nothing, wanted no more. Now imagine Joshua in there instead of Charr. On the basis of that fight Airich struck me as that type of guy who doesn't care any more. He'll feel Joshua's power and give up IMO.
maidana points 12-1 william hill i don't really expect him to win but there has been some terrible scoring recently and maidana did give floyd a tough fight in the first half of the fight

You're probably right. I did find Airich at 44-1 on bet fair so stuck a fiver on. But what you say makes sense. I just hope that Airich can have a but of ambition, but then again, we are not privy to the behind scenes conversations.
I can imagine Airich's manager discussing the fight with Hearn, and telling him that Airich is bored of boxing, sits in the pub and needs a couple of paydays.....
I'm on Donaire to beat Walters @ 11/10 this weekend. Nonito has looked muck since losing to Rigo but I think this fight will be the end of that hangover. Walters hasn't really been tested yet and it's a bold move to make him favourite.
He has only been beaten by Chisora and Wilder and I don't think Leapai punches as hard or has the work rate to trouble Scott.
I agree. I'm very tempted to go large on this. I haven't bet much this year at all but this stands out. The only problem is I don't think Scott really wants to fight...if he had a little less quit about him I would be totally convinced
