Braehmer looks drawn in already, tough weight cut. Brant has commented on it, said Braehmer was watching his open workout and he noticed that Braehmer looks very drawn in for this stage of the cut, said he isn't sure if it will affect Braehmer yet but he certainly looks like he's finding it a tough cut.

Saw him looking a bit like shit tbh and saw few people saying he’s getting like 5 mill... I’d drop 80 pounds to get that money

Small bet on the under 9½ for Whyte & Helenius this weekend. I've been hitting a lot of unders lately, many at or near + money. Hopefully someone gets knocked out or we get another early British stoppage in this heavyweight bout, especially with Helenius in on short notice:

Dillian Whyte/Robert Helenius Under 9½ (-110) $82.50 for $75.00

diilian white 7-12 +235, round 6 +1200



i thought helenuis weight loss and the stories of him getting the better of wlad in sparring before his fight with joshua might be worth a play but he looks done in the 6th round

there is little chance if any that some guy named juergen braehmer is getting 5mm dollars to fight some guy named rob brant

i would be surprised if brant is getting 200k and juergen getting 750k

5mm...maybe in mexican pesos

Then that guy on Twitter was wrong! Aha

Anthony Joshua 1-4 @1.53 or thereabouts will probably be my play.

If Takam turns out to be in fantastic shape he maybe gets to 5 but I don't see it. He's old, taken some punishment and is a plodder. He doesn't have any slickness to him, just a rugged guy but that doesn't last forever and AJ's speed paired with his power makes Takam an easy opponent. I've seen AJ saying he's a difficult opponent, could go 10 rounds etc etc but I expect him to say that to help sell this poor card.

AJ bombs him out within 4 in my opinion.

I expect they are both getting a tidy sum more than that, I know that George Groves got $2m vs Jamie Cox

dont feel bad for falling for that.

i fell for ian wilkinsons bullshit last weekend when people on another forum where telling me that he was a fat, worthless piece of shit and i chose to ignore them betting on the feel-good story.

youre comparing george groves in a UK ppv domestic fight, a guy that had sold out wembley, to some guy named juergen braehmer in a non ppv event?

and hes going to get more than twice as much?

thats wild, bizarre even

im somewhat new to the UK scene but im sure a UK expert like crow would tell you how ridiculous it is to compare groves purse or popularity to braehmer

i dont think arthur abraham ever got 5mm

Yeah, Groves is a big PPV star (compared to Braehmer) and is a big UK name, Groves vs Cox was on PPV in the UK, as was Eubank whilst all other fights were/are shown for free, no doubt Groves is one of the if not the highest earner in the tournament.

David Allen now faces 3-0 Scott Saward, standing at 6ft 8' tall fighting out of Peacock Gym. Has fought in MMA, huge unit of a guy, lost a lot of weight over the past few years compared to what he used to be. He's sparred with Yarde and worked a bit with Eubank Sr in the past.

Only 1 amateur fight but few trainers seem to think he has potential, don't think he carries a lot of power so hard to see him winning this on short notice against David Allen who looks to be in the shape of his life.

Anyone got lines up yet for that one?

Not that I'm aware of, just recently announced, I imagine later tonight someone will.

Shit odds man, bet365 has under 4.5 rounds @1.80... Others are close as well.

That was just the first odds I came across, when I post my picks in here it's generally just the first odds I come across to go with my pick, not the actual odds I've put on, but yeah the under pays better with Bet365.

I am on the opposite site for AJ/Takam fight. I think now, when AJ is a champion he has a lot more to loose and he will not hurry to end this fight. In an interview se said that he had to change the tactics for his new opponent. Maybe this will make him a little less comfortable and he will not going super aggressive from the beginning. O4.5 is 1.90, think to hit that but not very big.

 

[CR0W]

Yeah Braehmer looks like crap, even more confident in the Brant pick now, mid rounds TKO I reckon.
