This bet is for the big players and I am lumping on LARGE

Oscar De La Hoya by KO TKO or Disqualification

It is an amazing 5/2 @ Bet365, I expect this will shorten up through the week and will go off close to evens.

Every time one of these boys from the contender has stepped up a level they have been battered, I just can't see Forbes doing 12 rounds with DLH.

And before you start Bilton you can put a fúcking pie in it

It's into 9/4 now, I don't share your same confidence in the bet though, Forbes is pretty slick and has never been stopped

His biggest wins came at 130lbs, this been at 150 DLH is going to be huge compared to Forbes. This will be target practise for Oscar he is 10 times better than anybody else Forbes has been in with, I can see another DLH-Gatti or a Mayorga.

Floyd Snr back in the corner, 24,000 tickets sold! it's not as if he is just going to go through the motions.

It's decent odds considering the high weight that they're at, I might have a little tipple on it, but I don't think Forbes has been put on his arse as a pro. Lets hope the extra weight of shot tells

yeah but its easy to see oscar just cruising to a dull win and the other guy not getting involved. hes hardly the dynamite fighter of his early years.

Yep, and Oscar will want the rounds as this is his warm-up for Mayweather. This will be a points win for Oscar, imo.

9/4 is definitely worth a punt - Forbes is good but he's old and a helluva lot smaller than DLH. I recall him being hurt by Grady Brewer as well. I wouldnt go large or anything and I dont see it as a blow out for DLH but at those odds defo worth a few bob.

Now into 7/4

I wonder if the bookie websites keep an eye on forums such as these, because 5/2 to 7/4 in a couple of hours is extreme...... may just be coincidence though.

Good Luck Hagler

Cheers m8

I had a big chuck at 5/2 and so did my brother and a couple of mates also. Considering skybet are going 5/4 on the same bet I think they have realized it was overpriced.

ive wondered this too... maybe we should stop betting threads altogether as theres a good chance those lazy oddsmakers are just tuning in to what the anoraks are saying and act accordingly.

When bets are placed they often change according to how people are betting. I doubt the topics on this forum hold much significance.

Lost 20 boys on this bet. Was pissed to be honest. Thought it was easy money.

Oscar ddint even have the energy to force one of those shoe-shining stoppages that he is particularly good at

Oh well!

it was a pretty good price, but the decision was definitely 'on the cards', as it were.

How much did everyone lose betting on De La Hoya by Ko ,tko or DQ?

Ditto. Why did you have to quit Salem!

Haglers LARGE probably turned into 20 pence, if the Hatton fiasco is anything to go by

Against C class fighters and below.

Having a bet is all about beating the bookies and I will still stand by the fact that getting 5/2 on a bet that went off at 5/4 was value.

My bet & my brothers £100 certainly didn't bring the price in as much as it did, they must have been a substantial amount of cash went on it to shorten the price in to what it went off at.
