I went uncharacteristically heavy on Ward/Kovalev. Something tells me that Kovalev's anger and aggression are not going to work out for him against the more technical boxer who I thought won the latter half of the first fight.

That's a ML bet at a local that has dumb lines sometimes.

I figure Ward to win a decision as he looked to figure out Kovalev in the second half last fight. Going to stay away from it most likely. I did take Arif at +207 in the undercard.

He is the more technical boxer without a doubt he won the first fight without the physical advantages.

[JimGunn]

Kovalev's cardio failed him after four rounds last time as well, he admitted as much in multiple interviews. We'll see how he starts and if he can keep a good pace up.

Well Andre Ward has been very kind to me over the years and doesn't owe me a penny so ill be having a decent wedge on him yet again at 7/9

Just got a feeling about this one but its a long shot. Smith to beat Zeuge at 6/1. Smiggas last chance and he should have a huge point to prove with all the stick he's had. Not been impressed with Tyron at all so will have a small play on Smith

Andre weighs me in once again. Hes the gift that keeps on giving.

Odds on Mayweather by KO/TKO shortening at the same time as the McGregor Win odds... Seems like smart and dumb money is coming in...

[littlepug]

just chucked £20 on fowler and Kelly to win on points tonight in a double, £720 back, both in 6 rounders by the way

It's insane the bookies think a guy who has never had a professional fight is 9/2 to stop a 5 weight world champion who's never been dropped.

[JimGunn]

Feels good to have gone against the grain and called the stoppage nearly perfectly this past weekend with my biggest boxing bets ever at generous odds.

Craig Evans (-115) vs Stephen Ormond $57.50 for $50.00= $50.00

Paul Smith/Tyron Zeuge Under 9½ (+175) $50.00 for $87.50= -$50.00

Andre Ward (-148) vs Sergey Kovalev $740.00 for $500.00= $500.00
Andre Ward (+101) vs Sergey Kovalev ~$490.00 for ~$494.90= ~$494.90
Andre Ward wins by KO/TKO/DQ (+1323) $50.00 for $661.50= $661.50
Andre Ward wins in round 10-12 (+3725) $25.00 for $931.25= -$25.00
Andre Ward/Sergey Kovalev Under 9½ (+420) $50.00 for $210.00= $210.00
Andre Ward/Sergey Kovalev Under 11½ (+290) $50.00 for $145.00= $145.00

Steve Collins Junior 4/9 PaddyPower & Betfair Sportsbook. It's 1/3 to lay on Betfair exchange so a late line that won't be open for long. He's fighting a guy who got beat by a 7-25-1 fighter a few fights ago.

Collins Jr is very poor indeed. And I mean very poor. Look at his fights on YouTube.

The guy he is fight seems worse, he has not fought at light heavy weight in his last 4 fights if memory serves me correct, he lost to a journeyman and he has been inactive for the last 2 years. Whilst Collins jr is crap I'm not gunna favour that time of opponent over him, but who knows.

I got Collins Jr at 1/2 which I think is decent.

McDonagh actually looks alright on youtube.

He's a traveller at the end of the day and if he comes to win he will have too much heart for Collins, who is wide open for shots and I get a David Price feeling about him.

Backing Collins Jr at 1/2 is mad.

[Deno1986]

McDonagh is/was a decent boxer and was a good amateur. If he gets his jab going early it could be a tough night for Collins. It depends how much interest McDonagh has in the fight but it's for a title so I imagine he will give it a good crack.

I tailed a betting acquaintance small on this heavyweight underdog on a Poland card today:
