Pacquiao by split decision is 14-1.... Worth a fiver

Those odds are missing a zero. I honestly wouldn't touch that with a barge pole.

I'm not so sure. The bout will almost certainly go to points. A controversial decision would be the best result for Vegas - everyone gets paid again.

Remember that one judge had Alvarez - Maywether a draw!

Mayweather majority decision is 14/1. Was going to bet on that for the Canelo fight b/c I suspected one judge would score a draw regardless. Forgot on the day. I'm an idiot.

[bruthead]

Given that the draw is 25/1 I would want similar odds for a split decision or majority decision.

Etches by points might be value at 7/4.

What do people think on Limond vs. Chris Jenkins? Does Willie at 15/8 look decent?

[ozzy1875]

I like Limond, he can box and is a decent shout at 15/8.

Surprised Jenkins is so short at 4/11, some raved over his Prizefighter win but it was piss poor opposition.

[bruthead]

Fonfara opened at 11/2 to beat Chavez Jr! Had a nibble at 4/1 which I still think is value, even if Chavez tends to get the judges' favour.

I also like this. Value is definitely with Willie as I see this a 50/50.

[Batley18]

5/2 Khomitsky against Etches I like. 9/2 by KO may also be worth a nibble.

[BillyTKid]

I've had a couple of bets with paddy power. Betting against the UK fighters. Dirrell to beat degale at 2.2 as I would make him favourite given the fight is in the US and they have paid a big purse. Linares to beat Mitchell at 1.91, I think he will get stopped as per his last two world title fights.

[Batley18]

Hope people backed Khomitsky.

Ok, British hater accumulator.... Actually 1 Irish too!

Gradovich, Linares, Dirrell, Kameda, Quillin, Figueroa, Abril returns 39-1 at paddypower

Apart from Gradovich that is a great accumulator.

Started the road to May 2nd with the first 50 placed on Pacquiao, will keep topping it up weekly.

Great! I have my money on Pacquiao as well. He's the pure dark horse here.

The ones I'm most nervous about are Gradovich and Dirrell.
I find it odd that Evgeny is a 3.25 outsider as he is champ. Mind you I haven't seen him fight and Selby has been looking good recently.

[reggaereggae]

Dickinson 3.4 vs Simmonds.

I would have this fight as even.

Will put £20 on dickinson

[BillyTKid]

Adonis on points. I don't think he will stop Bika. 11/8

[BOYOVERTHEHILL]

I'm with you on this one although Dickinson has had a shocking run of Form.
Simmonds ain't anything special by any means.

[digzee]

Australia (8/11) to beat England in the Ashes and Matthysse (8/11) to beat Prov £1,000 on to win £2983.47. Matthysse is a better boxer all round and I think punches harder. Australia's fast bowling attack will skittle England, even if the pitches are slow, also with Steve Smith, David Warne rand Michael Clarke there batting is a lot stronger too.
Its not massive odds but I cant the results going any other way, will put at least another grand on.

Wow. Big bet. Good luck. I've put a much more frugal £50 on Mathysse, I think he's the better boxer and actually bigger puncher though Provodiknov is as tough as they get. I see Mathysse points or 10th round bust up.

What to people think about Joshua Gavern? I can't see Gevern lasting more than 1 1/2 rounds but the KO in 1-2 for Joshua is only 1.4.... I put a fiver on round 3 at 8.0, though I might've well just set light to that!

Thanks, its my biggest ever bet but I feel very confident.
As they said on Ringside Gavern was stopped in 4 by Wilder so maybe Joshua will go 1 round better, good luck with that

It's a small fun bet nothing more. The big bets I see are manny - may no knock down (1.91) and Abril stoppage (still waiting for the line)

[bruthead]

manny - may no knock down (1.91)

Where did you see that? V. good odds, I agree.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Simmons and Stevenson win by stoppage pays 4.55 with Betfair. That'll do me.

[The Insider]

Simmonds 2/1 to win by K.O with PP.
