Yes, I do. Betfair always has the best odds, but usually not until closer to the time of the fight. Many of the smaller fights (Magee-Takaloo for example) have very little liquidity so in those cases you're better off looking elsewhere. Also, another could place to try is
http://www.oddschecker.com which sources prices from all the highstreet bookmakers and compares them so you can find the best value.
Bet regularly (every week). Do quite well on the boxing (won about £250 each on liackovich, Calzaghe and Kltscko over Peter) but have also pissed some money up the wall (EG £200 Tyson to win in 1 against McBride, and £200 on Valery Brudov to beat Hill!.)
Ahem.
Betfair has the 'best' odds but you need to factor in that they take 5% of winnings.... so this lessons the odds especially for long shots. You also can only buy bets to the level of money that is being offered.
Stanjames and Bet365 have the most boxing offers, but you can shop around using oddschecker for the best odds. Skybet have been known to offer some bargains (eg Calzaghe at 5-1 to win on points vs that Egyptian with th ehard head... forgotten his name.)
Pinnacle generally offer the best odds as they avoid tax because of their location, but they only allow one free withdrawal per month unless you are withdrawing over a certain amount (somethig big like £500).
Hope that helps.
