[ThereByTheGrace]

Kameda points 11/10

[The Insider]

Sturm by K.O.

Awaiting odds.

I can see where you're coming from. Chudinov reminds me a bit of Kostya Tszyu in that he has quick hands and big power but poor foot, head and body movement and you can see him being outhustled and landed on clean by someone with sound skills like Sturm. Chudinov seems to have a good chin but I haven't seen it REALLY tested yet. If I knew for sure he was rock solid and didn't cut easily or anything I would think an ageing Sturm in a foreign weightclass would be up against it here. I'm having a few doubts but I still like the value on Chudinov stoppage.

Well I got that well and truely wrong. Very hard luck to the boys who backed Markham too.

I had Komeda in three accumulators (which I don't normally bother with) so this is a bad night. Covered the draw in that fight and in Bugloini-Markham so got off the hook on the second at least. Sounds like McDonnell was lucky to get the nod?

[higgs88]

I had Markham up by 2!!!!!!! this bet shoud have come in. GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Buglioni 1/12 Markham 15/2. for a close fight these odds are massive.
Chudinov Markham double is 29/1. £20 down on that

I'm trying to work out if Joshua by decision over Johnson is decent value at 4/1 with PP. Kevin has a rock chin, will be spoiling all night and if he gets to the halfway point Joshua might just decide to coast to victory. Of course, the ref jumping in early is a significant risk. I also wonder if other books will go wider than this.

[Gazmac81]

yea the Ref jumping in to make this a "Remarkable victory" and "no one does that to Kevin Johnson" type situation is always the risk.

Unlucky pal. I thought Markham just done enough but a draw means we get it on again.

I also had Markham win on a few accies.

Can King Pin go the distance with Joshua? I have been waiting for some odds to be released on this as I think it is likely that a British ref gets excited and jumps in when Joshua unloads a decent combination. However Paddies are first to release and 4/1 on Joshua decision looks pretty good value.

[higgs88]

I'll be backing rounds 1.2.3! Josh is hitting like a monster ATM, Fury and Vitali beat him with the jabs, Jsoh will go out with search and destroy attitude.

Joshua will blow his load if he is not cautious early doors (i expect we may see a cagey AJ for 2 rounds) , i think Johnsons corner may pull him out around 9/10th round if AJ is getting through often.

Has Johnson ever fought somebody as quick going forward as AJ?

[Bard of Boxrec]

Folk are betting on Josh dec...7/2 now.

Noted on that and thanks!

Perez 10/11 to beat Crolla with PP. Lovely.

Those seem like good odds to me too. Perez should be a decent-sized favorite imo.

Haha that would have been me, sorry

8/11 is still value IMO. It'd be interesting to see how much this line changes from here or how much faith paddy have in their original price.

Great tip

Bookies really don't seem to understand what they're doing re the Dirrell/Degale fight. Not complaining obviously, just interesting.

For instance nearly all of them favour Degale to get a points decision over Dirrell if it goes to the cards. In a fight Haymon bid $3.1 million for....

Charr to beat Leapai with PP, took 7/4 now 6/4 but still seems big, they are both very average fighters but I would have Charr favourite personally.

Yeah it becomes a case of who does what less badly. I have no idea to be honest. The form guide says two losses apiece in the last year and a bit for each of them and one crushing KO loss each to the two best in the division. I'm sure the bookies favour Leapai on the back of the Boytsov win still but there's not much in it.

What do we think about 15/2 on Rebrasse vs Callum Smith? I was possibly drunk and squinting at a small pub screen, but Smith looked like garbage in his second to last fight and Rebrasse is very brave and game, unexpectedly giving Groves a bit to think about in their encounter. The Frenchman is busy, maybe not good enough to win on the cards but 15/2 is wide as hell with PP.

[ozzy1875]

I think Smith has enough to beat Rebrasse but I'd fancy a points win.

Don't see him stopping him, Groves can bang and Rebrasse took everything Groves threw at him.

What are people's thoughts on Broner at 6/5 to beat Porter? I thought Porter looked dog in his last fight and he didn't do a right lot against Brook.

I favor Charr too, though I'm not confident about him winning. I'm surprised at those odds but I suppose his recent loss is fresh in the bookies' minds and two of the cards were quite wide despite a competitive bout, so if they just had a BoxRec browse they may have gotten a distorted idea of how he performed.

[Shanemc]

Charr 5/6 now must be a lot of money coming in on him I backed him at 6/5 so I'm happy enough I think Leapai is passed it at this stage

[bruthead]

Broner at 6/5 versus Porter might be decent value at 144lbs. Not sure if the muted rehydration clause (max 155lbs. on the night) got signed - that would swing things in Broner's favour, I think.
