Anyone know anything about Jake Hanney? He's a decent price vs McKenna might be worth taking a punt on. Maybe double him with Tennyson just for an interest.

[JimGunn]

Jake is 5-0 vs Tyrone at 12-0-1. I'll take a stab at these odds:

Jake Hanney (+296) vs Tyrone McKenna ~$36.18 for ~$107.09

Josh King 15/8 with PP to beat Michael Katsidis on Sat in Australia is an absolute steal. Free money to all. King has been out almost 1.5 yrs after losing to Ricky Burns but Katsidis has been out 2 yrs and has been shot to pieces for years. All aboard.

[JimGunn]

I'm honestly not familiar with these boxers, so I'm not going to throw down too much despite the 'free money' endorsement, but I'm always down for another live dog:

Josh King (+186) vs Michael Katsidis ~$102.51 for ~$190.67

I agree that's not a bad price for anyone vs Katsidis these days I'll have some of that.

Which bookie has this fight?

[Deno1986]

PP definitely had those odds up earlier. They have since taken it down.

PP have taken it down now for some reason??

This.

Pretty premature referee stoppage in the Hanney/McKenna bout in my opinion. Even the commentators said so. Backs up what I said about Irish and UK officials being trigger happy when a fighter looks in trouble. Hanney was clearly losing by round 6 but he was in it and firing back pretty consistently.

I had nothing on this pre-fight but, Geraghty got dropped early and then turned his ankle.

Live In-Play James Tennyson (+158) vs Declan Geraghty ~$63.75 for ~$100.73

[JimGunn]

Boom! Another knockdown & swarm of punches and Tennyson gets the sixth round TKO!

[Boxing Prospect]

Hirofumi Mukai is 10-1 to beat Rex Tso...Tso SHOULD be the favourite but there is certainly value there...and Mukai seems to have found belief in his power recently...

[JimGunn]

I'm tailing that dog Boxing Prospect, why not? There are no really big fights this weekend anyway and so far I'm breaking even on my smallish miscellaneous action today:

Hirofumi Mukai (+1150) vs Rex Tso ~51.00 for ~$586.50

[JimGunn]

And to give me an excuse to watch the Showtime card tonight. Don't think Potapov has a lot of pop to stop Nieves and it's only 10 rounds:

Nikolai Potapov wins by 10 round decision (-110) vs Antonio Nieves $55.00 for $50.00

[JimGunn]

Nieves' speed is giving Potapov problems early:

Live In-Play Antonio Nieves (+133) vs Nikolai Potapov ~$116.10 for ~$154.41

[ozzy1875]

Josh King backed in from 15/8 down to 5/4 now expect the money to keep piling in as well, could easily start the fight as favourite.

[Jmashyaka]

Couple 50/50 and decent lines:

Josh king @ 15/8
Erik Ruiz @ 11/8
Gamboa points @ 5/4
Andrade 7-12 @ 6/4
Lemieux 8-12 or points at 11/10

Got April - indongo 2.75 over Burns seems good value at Paddy

Got April - indongo 2.75 over Burns seems good value at Paddy

Not so sure on that hope u are right. Burns hasn't been stopped and indongos left is wild and loose but very powerful. Burns on points for me

Yeah maybe reading too much into the Troyanovsky fight. I haven't see anything else of Indongo but he is unbeaten as Burns is surely getting long in the tooth

Its a tough fight to call I would back against burns unless he is up against a slickster like Crawford. He has always dealt with punchers through work rate and the crowd in Glasgow helps too

Anyone else watching the Culcay/Andrade fight on Sky Sports 2? I think Culcay is looking good in the second half of this fight:
