I've went for Simmons outright and Adonis KO - 6/5 double. Fingers crossed!

[Londonirish]

Simmons went to 6/1 just to win at Paddypower........ Can't be right, then it came up as Betting suspended.

[ThereByTheGrace]

Anyways onwards and upwards. Very disappointing there.

Yup Simmons was piss poor.

Stevenson inside at 8/13 seems pretty safe...

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!

Well done

Thanks, only a fiver mind. I just thought that was a good price considering, rather than something I expected!

I also tipped Dickinson on some post, I grabbed him at 3.5 (5/2) and put £20 on so not too bad.

With Quillin not making weight, Andy lee will keep the belt even if he loses. This makes the Billy joe fight very likely. Sky bet are making a market on this where they had billy joe at 2-1 to win. I just put 200 quid on it and it has reduced the price to 7/4. I still think this is a big price that will come in. Especially if Quillin stops lee tonight (which I think he will).

[ShadrachSimmo]

7/4 on Danny Garcia to stop Peterson looks not a bad price. Got him doubled with Warrington stoppage.

[freddydoesdallas]

Did quillon actually try to make weight or is he taking a financial hit for a big win?

[crusader]

He initially weighed 161.4 and within about 90 minutes got down to 160.6, so he made an attempt.

Think i might avoid the bout in that case...from a betting point of view

[stevedoc]

Stuck a tenner on Hoffman to win the masters 28-1... I expect splieth to win but the odds seemed good on Hoffman

[GlobalBox]

Barroso is 11/10 with Mathews favourite for Saturday's fight, Barroso 7/4 to win by stoppage, its no certainty but I did not expect to see those odds tbh.

I thought the Bookies would be a little more circumspects with Barroso clearly being a big puncher, he is also a southpaw, very strong but not the greatest boxer but it could be value, have a look at him fellas in his last fight its on youtube only a month ago, he did get pretty marked up in that fight.

[ardybo]

Barroso looks crude as he tends to wing away with his wild left and right hooks out of the southpaw stance. Can't help thinking if Derry keeps it tight for the first few rounds he could stop this guy late or win on points. The thing is Matthews is the most unpredictable boxer in British boxing. You never know who is going to turn up.

[littlekinny]

Not tipping any as wins but...
7/2 for Fonfara and 11/2 for Geale (22/1 for the double) looks too large to me personally.
IN THESE TWO FIGHTS WOULD i BE RIGHT TO BE CONCERNED IF THEY WENT TO THE CARDS THOUGH?

[reggaereggae]

I managed to get 5.5 (9/2) on Fonfara when the fight announced. Now down to 4.5.

To the previous poster, with a sports corrupt as boxing, you should alwaysbe concerned with affair decision!

The price on Geale is decent; though you might get longer if you wait. I think Cotto was really flattered my the Martinez win, as Sergio had looked a little ropey prior to the cotto fight.

[reggaereggae]

You can get 7-1 fonfara on points.

As an acca Fonfara pts, Luis, Mathysse returns 35-1

Worth £5

[BOYOVERTHEHILL]

Regea do you strongly fancy Luiz to beat Derry?
I'm deffo feeling a bit of a surprise and I think Luiz will be a bit too strong and young for Matthews

Also what do people think of Junior Witters chances in France later.I was shocked to see him as a favourite?

Where are you getting the betting for Witter guys? I can't seem to find it anywhere I've looked. Do you think it might come on again as 'in play'?

[BOYOVERTHEHILL]

Just paddy power mate.
Witter now 11/10 slight underdog.
might have a bash on the upset

Gotcha! Just come up on Paddy. Had a double, El Mousaoui to beat Witter at 8/11 and Luis to beat Mathews at Evs.

[ganddy]

I think I'll pass on that.

I didn't research witter's opponent, so not sure on that one.

As to Luis..... I don't see anything impressive but I really can't think of Mathews as a world class fighter. I would've put a big bet on Abril by KO, I couldn't see any other result. The replacement, I forgot his name, was worthy of a bet by KO also as he was a puncher.... Luis? I'm not confident on that, he hasn't got a good Ko record and is limited at world class..... But I think though Derry is effective at Brit level, I don't give him a chance at world type level.

I would suggest a very small bet on Luis by KO, depending on the odds...

[bruthead]

Have a small position on Matthysse points at 3/1. Think he's a better boxer than Ruslan but I'd be surprised if he stops the Russian.

Does anyone know anything about MMA? I don't but like the look of Jose Aldo at 4/5 against Conor McGregor. Can't believe you'd get such long odds on a dominant champion still aged 28. But I don't know anything about MMA.
