It’s a 12 rounder, DDD never been past 10. Does tend to look at bit ragged towards the end as all the proper units do.

Fight not to go distance at 1.67 seems like a good arse-coverer, 3.75 for BB by KO/TKO seems good too.

If you chose the round groups you’ll obviously get more. JBBM to win a stoppage in the second half of the fight is at 9s.

It’s ok to talk about this stuff in the thread isn’t it?

Big Baby isn't very good, as such, he's flat-footed, easy to hit, but yet, he's very hard to beat. He's huge, just chugs forward, relying on a granite chin (more from his size than anything) and just eventually runs people over.
Now who does that sound like...?

Big Baby is not what he was on the juice. Doobie will be throwing a lot of leather at him, and as long as he doesn't break his hands on Miller's face, I can see him winning.

Might be a whole other thread but… is everyone getting fully tested on Riyadh cards?

why do you keep assuming he's off the juice now? he's gotten back on it after every prior failure. vs browne he looked standard miller

Hey, you could well be right Mags.
But we have to rely on the testing, and there is seemingly plenty of testing.
I just get a feeling that this is the fight Miller falls victim to the face-first defence.
Ala Kownacki, and recently Joyce.
He has a heck of a chin though, Lucas Browne was landing thunderous leather flush on him for a few rounds.

Not sure who does it but i think this is the year Gervinta gets sparked. Something suspect about his whole career , constant cherry picking and inactivity. Fcukers suppposed to be the face of boxing, Barrios probs his best win.

He passes the eyeball test, but i think its carefully managed.

IF, he went in with Shakur (decision), Teo (stoppage) or Haney (retirement) he'll get beat.

Have to agree. He wlll avoid them.

makmudov is a 10-1 fave over kabayel. you can get like 9-1 for a kabayel win. mak shouldnt be such a huge fave. best win is struggling with carlos takam. kabayel's career has been frustrating, but he's pretty solid

Biggest upset I can imagine is DD taking a reasonable shot and not quitting.

His fights this year will probably be Isaac Cruz and Rayo, so it's not looking likely. I think de los Santos or Frank Martin could beat him though.

I’ve had to have a little go on the following Treble:


Hrgovic R1 @ 11/4

Makhmudov R1 @ 12/1

Wilder R1 @ 16/1

A slack £41,437 if it wins.

Now is the time to bet like men.

I think he might fight that kid who just beat colbert. Sort of opponent his team goes for, coming off a good win that is ultimately flattering.

Nice bets, the Mak opponent looks a bit tough, but getting caught cold by a big heavy always possible, and other 2 are worthy long shots

Kabayel, Miller. As bad as Wilder is, Parker just doesn't have the mentality of a winner at this level.

I think they all have a chance but none of them have that killer instinct needed at the top level. If Parker beats Wilder it will be by Decision or because Wilder is absolutely done or was never anything to begin with.

i threw some on this and have a nice win for tonight. makes me feel better after talkng up miller-dubs as a 50-50

agit has a friend for life in me now

I thought Parker would stop Wilder.

Luckily I just backed the Parker win.

Wilder is just not elite.

Speaks volumes about Fury.

oogiebe wrote: ↑17 Dec 2023, 15:26 Kabayel Decisions Big Mak. Not a lover of Agit, but he's the best; most durable; hardest hitter that Mak has faced.

I'm usually wrong, but I almost got this one!

I also thought Parker would stop wilder… would have won a 5000 accumulator if he did. Reallly wish the ref jumped in on that flurry hahah.

Got a couple of smaller accumulators… but this is the one that got away… wilder showed surprising heart for someone not punching.

Stop being wrong.

Can I pick Wilder to beat Parker? Or is it too late?

Bakole wins a purse bid using his GoFundMe earnings?

In the upcoming fights below I would imagine one or more upsets. I definitely don't think all of these guys should be favourites but they're all in the fight (or just more than the odds are giving them credit for) in my opinion.

Usyk is a slight underdog against Fury but I predict him to win.

Sirwan is a live underdog against an old and inactive Kovalev but odds will likely be wide.

Parker is a live underdog against Zhang but odds might be too wide in a close fight on paper (2/1)

Briedis is a live underdog against Opetaia but odds are wide for a competitive fight (3/1)

Liam Williams is a 3/1 underdog against Hamzah Sheeraz but it could look like a promising star too soon against a veteran.

Jamine Ortiz is 5/1 underdog against Teofimo Lopez. If Lopez' head is still all over the place and he puts in a performance like the one against Martin then Ortiz could take it.

Ryder is 2/1 against Munguía. I wouldn't count him out.

Azeez is 3/1 underdog against Buatsi but Aziz has looked better than Buatsi if late.
