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.

Rigo KO
Ward points
Zeuge KO
Arias win

£10 returns £159

not sure why people still think Ward is the more 'technical boxer'

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

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.

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...

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.

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.

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:

Solomon Haumono (+322) vs Tomasz Adamek $35.00 for $112.70
