Oleksandr Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois | TNT Sports PPV - 26 August 2023

[jwfg]

Usyk is only 1/10. I've got £4,000 ready for this. Free money.

It’s just a silly risk as at any point Usyk can just get old, and cruiserweights moving up have a long history of durability issues cropping up eventually. Dubios gets a lot of stick and looked poor in his last fight, but is still a little bit of an unknown quantity in terms of how much he may still improve. I’d think Usyk will win by stoppage in around 10, with Dubois on his feet but basically just taking punishment. But who knows?

I've been betting 'dead certs' at bad odds for a long time and the only time it backfired catastrophically was when I was at med school. I couldn't lose, so I bet my entire grant on Roy Jones Jnr to beat Montell Griffin and before you could say, hitting a man while he's down, I was completely skint.

The so-called "Comedian".

I had to Google to find out who he was. No I'm definitely and my soon to be ex-wife would assure you that I'm not funny.

What made you think I was him? Is he also making an ill advised bet this weekend?

The so-called "Comedian".

What made you think I was him?

Jewish, med school, not funny.

[maverick23]

All seems a bit quiet considering there’s a Brit fighting for 3 world titles this Saturday.

I haven’t see a great deal or media/press for it.

Guilty of all three

And I didn't mean to offend you with money talk.

BT are pushing it pretty hard. Outside of us nerds and BT subscribers, no one's heard of DDD.

I did get a laugh when I told my mother I was marrying a gentile, then another when I announced the divorce.

SATURDAY NIGHT IS BOWLING NIGHT
AND HEADS ARE GONNA ROLL

[Pukka Cheese]

Wouldnt do £4k on Usyk but it is hard to see big D getting the win here.
Just hope he puts it on the Ukrainian for 4 rounds and see what he can land.

Think i said it before but surely they have Dubois *empty the tank* early doors and then just throw in the towel when Usyk starts teeing off on him around the mid way point.

[big lennox]

I'm really looking forward to this fight. Should be a good occasion.

Mickey1975, have you arrived in Poland yet?

[big lennox]

A nice touch by Warren to send support to the Ukrainian war effort and acknowledge the difficulties Uysk and his countrymen and women are facing.

And what a relief to see a relaxed press conference after the diabolical Logan Paul/KSI/Fury/Dillon sh*t show.

I think I'll put money on a late stoppage for usyk,

[handsofstone]

Cant remember Usyk getting an early KO ever but I think he might do Dubois in a couple or 3 rounds

[margaret thatcher]

paris fury is about the same height as danny dubois

[handsofstone]

Heard one or 2 people claim Dubois hits harder than Joshua, only one kayo'd Safety Pin Johnson

Usyk is only 1/10. I've got £4,000 ready for this. Free money.

Rather you than me, he could get stopped on a cut, or walk into a shot, anything could happen, it's heavyweight boxing, I'd not fancy those odds at all. 4k to win 400 - no chance.

If they fight a hundred times, I'd have DDD winning one. The odds are ten times better than that. Plus, the only good bet is a winning bet. £400 of free money coming my way. I only bet a few times per year, but when I do, I almost always win.

I was woking in a pub during the World Cup in 2002. There was a bookies across the road.
A bloke came in - he'd bet £10,000 on France to score against Senegal (pretty sure that was the bet -- or some other practically 99.9% odds on thing).
I would not have wanted to have been him later that day, explaining to his wife.

[margaret thatcher]

dubs hasnt stopped anyone aj wouldnt, aj has stopped the mighty king pin though

[Teddy's Toupee]

But does he hit harder than Fury?

[Manchester Hitman]

Really looking forward to seeing how Usyk takes a big one on the chops, because Dubois will land at least one I’m sure of it.

I don't have a wife to explain it to. DDD winning the fight would be like him getting struck by lightning twice with the winning lottery ticket in his hand.

you will prob get filled at 1.13 on Betfair, or you can take 1.12 now. £509 return (1.13) so an extra £109 for your stated £4k bet after the 2% commisson.

I sometimes wander onto WallStreetBets sub on reddit, and there moderators delete posts where the poster doesn't upload a copy of their trade.

Good luck to all having a bet.
