The money is going on Lacy. He is now just 4/6 with most bookmakers, and even 4/7 in a place. You can now get 5/4 on calzaghe, with victor chandlers offering 11/8.

I'm well smugging chuffed with this. This will be my biggest bet in sometime. I took 6/5 on Lacy quite a few weeks back thinking/hoping that the move would be for him, and I can now pick at my leisure some nice odds on Calzaghe. The American firm pinnacle does look to be offering 6/4 or better, but, whilst I'm sure they're legit, I don't know if I want to rist (however small) the whole cross-transatlantic thing.

Anyway, lets just hope it's not a draw otherwise I'mm be 6 foot under by the end of the weekend

---------------------------------------------------

Enzo is crazily short at 1/6. 1/5 with vc is still too short. As our resident little arse-licker-cum-betting-nemesis can testify, bet365 offers good value at 4/1 for the Hobson win.

---------------------------------------------------

Conway-Kotai tonight interests me too. As I said on the thread about this one, I'll support Conway all the way, but banking on the fact that Kotai was hugely underprepared and underestimated Conway in the first fight, then anything approaching 2/1 seems pretty good.

yeah i thought 7/4 seems like a good bet. I actually saw the odds on kotai
on bet365.com before i made the post on his fight. I've gt exactly the same view that kotai probably underestimated conway and came in underprepared - so fornicate it 150squid on kotai.

Calzaghe on bet365 is 5/4 and im not quite sold on lacy so if kotai comes throo some of the profit mite have to on calzaghe.......

Good odds on hobson but useless for me cos i reckon enzo will do a number on him with some wicked body shots.

Oh well seems like it wasn't a one of with Kotai

Wonder what the round by round betting odds will be? Might stick some money on Calzaghe to win by KO in 1-4, maybe a 5ver on each, would stick more on but I'm brassic lint right now.

Just missed out on 500 nicker with Williams v Tyson, stuck the money on 1-3 instead of 2-4,

Bet365 have Calzaghe 4/1 to win by KO,TKO or DQ

for rounds

Paddy Power and BlueSq are up to 40/1 and 50/1 for some of the early rounds

I think Calzaghe will outwork Lacy, and win a 116-113 kind of decision.

10/3 with Bet365 is a big price

What! Did Conway win again?! I've got a sinking feeling this is the start of a horrible week of predictions from me... on the last week of the comp.

WELL DONE Steve.

I've had a few quid on a Lacy points win at 10/3. I feel that Joe will outbox Lacy for the first 5-6 rounds, but Lacy will come on strong in the later rounds and a couple of 10-8's will get him the decision. Also had some 33/1 on Joe in the 4th incase he isn't as past it as I thought.

And don't forget, it might be Manchester, but two of the judges are American, and the referee too. And if the rounds are close....

I split a tenner on Calzaghe to win in rounds 9 10 or 11. at 55/1

I think the American ref is going to be more of a factor seeing as it won't get to the cards for either fighter. But I see Calzaghe as not as much of a fighter that benefits from more lax officiating in England. So, I really don't think any of that matters a whole lot.

No, love to be there for this one though. If this was anywhere near London I'd be there. Have to make do with going over to a mates house to catch it in the early hours.

I'll no doubt be needing a large whiskey to calm my nerves too

Yeah hopefully not. But who knows, if it's a tight decision everyone will suddenly be focusing on the judges. Remember Lewis/Holyfield 1 - really bizzare scoring there, with the English judge leaning over backwards to prove how fair he was...

With Don King promoting a fight that big at that time...with a total unification on the line....you knew something fucked would happen to make there be a need for #2.

Yes, mate. Its almost going to be as nervy as fighting itself.

I always get like this with an even match of two world class guys.

I remember Tyson - Spinks , i was having palpitations just after the refs instructions.

Whatever you do mate, enjoy it.

And dont fall asleep

Few quid on each round from 1-5 for me. Odds of 50-1 down to 33-1.

I thought I was going to have a coronary before Tyson Holyfield I, and Lewis v Vitali. Was going fornicating mental during both fights, was ffing and blinding and leaping about spilling my pint when Lewis and Vitali went at it, and nearly broke my mates couch when I saw that Holyfield was dismantling Tyson.

Watch tomorrows fight from you garden. Cant do much damage there

btw - just spotted some early betting for Klitchko-Byrd. Klitchko 2/9 Byrd 3/1.

There may be doubts over Klitchkos mental state, but I really don't see anything Byrd has now to beat him. (just my lousy opinion of course.) However, I'd say 1/2ish would have to be minimum odds to make it worthwhile for me

Has anyone seen, http://www.igsport.com and http://www.binarybet.com are the only firm open with all three title fights from manchester tonight?
Calzaghe v Lacy, Macca v Hobson and Alexander v McDonagh, if the WBU counts as a title fight!
