There are a few intriguing contests this weekend where I feel at least one underdog can pull off the upset.

Which of the following has the best chance......if any?

Mcall bt Wach - 6/1
Toney bt Lebedev - 6/1
Smith bt Groves - 9/2
Johnson bt Bute - 8/1

A couple of others but I dont know too much about the opponent, only seen the records etc.

Flores bt Mora 13/2 - despite Mora holding only 1 win in 3 years Im guessing he is too good for his opponent who has only recently returned after 7years.

Demers bt Green 5/1
Gauthier bt Molitor 11/2

I used to rate both Green and Molitor very highly but they seem to be regressing at a rate recently. Has anyone seen anything in their opponents that they think a victory is a realistic propsition?

Finally Teron bt Cote 4/1. Dont know too much about any of these but is Cote supposed to be a class act.

Opinions would be appreciated Ta.

Out of that lot I wouldn't be surprised to see Johnson shock Bute. Not saying it will happen but I wouldn't be surprised.

Molitor's definitely slipping of late, but I'm not convinced some kid who is probably 2-3 divisions smaller come fight night who hasn't really won against anyone with a winning record is the man to do it.

Johnson could make it very interesting come the last 3rd of the fight but I'd expect Bute to be wary early on.

McCall has a shot if he's prepared.

James Toney. He might surprise us all tomorrow.

Dont rule out Smith, its a winnable fight for him. I personally think Groves will have a little too much for him but Groves will fight the fight Smith wants i think so there is always a chance

Absolutly correct mate. No-one is going to KO McCall, especially someone as slow as Wach and McCall has a very decent dig. I expect Wach to win on points as he is undefeated and apparantly has a good following where he fights, but wouldn't be surprised if McCall landed something big and stopped him.

6/1 for Toney to beat lebedev

I'll be having some of that!


WAR TONEY!!!!

Thats what I was toying with.

Or more likely just picking 3 and doing 3 doubles and 1 treble.

The only way Toney wins that is if he has access to a time machine.

The only other way he would have a chance would be if he was one of those guys who's used steroids.... oh, wait, he is.

It's overlooked now, because he just got a great win, but for me, Groves still has a suspect chin.

I can see Smith, who DeGale says can really hit, wobbling him at some point, and who knows, maybe he'll get an upset shocker.

George will be hugely confident now, so will likely take chances that he refused against DeGale.

Yes- i noticed Molitor had stepped up his level of competition

Wait, if Stevie comes through this, will it mean his 34th fight with Taklani Ndlovu will be a goer? I am so looking forward to it.

who is the betting favorite between katsidis and burns?

I know- and people have the gall to talk about the Vazquez - Marquez rivalry.

This

"Lights Out" all the way. I backed him at 12/1 to win on points. Paul Smith is a live underdog aswell, backed him early at 9/2.

I've got caught up in Toneymania and placed a bet on him as well!

Also bet on Groves getting knocked down at 4-1

Think the odds tell the tale. Paul Smith must have a chance.

Tom Bowen over George Michael Carmen. Good luck finding somewhere laying odds on it though

Paul Smith has a good chance in winning.

Can't see Toney beating Lebdev considering the bout is in Russia. Toney can't win on the cards unless he decisively wins 8 rounds clearly. Any 50-50 rounds will be to Lebedev.

COME ON TONEY!!!!
