I've watched a little bit of tape on Flores, and I wasn't overly impressed. He started pretty slowly against Escandon and was open to all kinds of shots. I'm not very schooled on this weight class, but inching towards locking in a bit on Rigondeaux by stoppage at 2.9. That body is going to be open for Rigondeaux imo and that can stop anyone.

As far as power I think Mac is on point with the hard hitting boxers. Prolly close to Mosley if i had to guess.

I dont think we know very much about how Conors power will translate to boxing. Most of his KOs in the UFC are straight lefts right on the button against guys no longer moving their heads, backing up in straight lines around the corners in the cage. Doing this (backing people up where they still have some space to move and think they are out of your reach but are not) in a squared ring is very different technically and you aren't going to catch Floyd not reacting or moving to avoid single shots. The two KOs that don't fit into this category are Aldo and Poirer. Those were pretty powerful hooks, but I dont think they offer much of a puzzle for May.

Anyways, this is likely the last post I make on this fight. My bets are placed, 2.5k on Mayweather at 1.165 avg. odds. $350 on under 9.5 rds at 2.20, $175 on fight not to go the distance and 150 on Conor to be dropped or knocked out at 1.70. Im less confident on the under rounds bets as I believe those rely on Conor legitimately trying to win the fight and putting himself into harms way like Hatton later in the fight. I don't think Conor has the motivation to do that, but I couldn't pass up the juiced odds.

Any tips on plays on the card coming up now?
 
big money coming in on Kov almost even odds now on bf exchange
 
i know smith is coming off a ko loss to ward two years ago and is fighitng in corrupt germany but zeuge was cut pretty bad in his last fight three months ago and it may play a factor here. he also didnt react very well to the cut and essentailly bailed out of the fight. smith knows that this is his last chance at a belt and his early pressure might present a middle opportunity

there is only 75k total there. unbelievable the limited amount being bet on this fight. its like everyone bet everything on may/mcgregor, where 2.5mm has already changed hands, and had nothing left over.
 
Anyone know when the Zeuge Smith fight is set to start? My book had fight time set at 1:00pm pacific.
 
Added a little on this bout: Paul Smith/Tyron Zeuge Under 9½ (+175) $50.00 for $87.50
 
I like when Sky Sports put up all the title holders' names on screen in an individual weight class- WBA Super, WBA World, WBC, WBO and IBF when they are talking about the ramifications of championship fights they are broadcasting.
 
Wow, two knockdowns in round 10, that might have just pulled this out for Evans at the very end there!
 
Grats Evans backers I had him for 1U.

Liked my Ward price at -150 so I took it but wish I waited.

4.5U to win 3U and -3.5 (+105) to win 1U. Terrible prices based on what I could get now but they were still good enough for me.
 
Hardly a hint of danger in this Zeuge/Smith fight. Goodbye under.
 
Zeuge smith finished? Stopped watching after the 6th. Can't easily google the result
