Boxing Discussion VI

Taylor DEC vs Vazquez @ 2.50 looks fantastic. For sure I think he wins especially in Edinburgh but anyone that's a big boxing fan knows how tricky Vazquez is, been in here with some top guys including Canelo and never been stopped.

Obviously he's a bit older now and Taylor looks to have the tools to become a world champion but that long awkward frame and experience could definitely cause some problems, not enough to win but he could very well see the distance. Currently I think the Taylor TKO lines and DEC should be the opposite way around.

Still only 30! Nice, thanks Crowe gonna have a go on this

Yeah, not too old in age but quite a a number of fights so could see him become more hittable eventually, hopefully not just yet though.

But like I said, I like the odds for this and it's hard for anyone to look good against Vazquez.

Definitely mate, and usually when these prospects step up against hardened veterans they usually go the full distance so we will see

140 might be a problem

Yeah could be a bit drawn out, all depends on how much he carries and how the cut goes, scales could be telling.

Line movement on the American facing books flipped Liam Williams from a moderate favorite at openers to a slight underdog today at -105 now to Liam Smith's -115. So that, along with the fact that I thought Williams was clearly ahead in the first fight despite the close screcards helped make my decision, 3.15 units on Williams moneyline to win 3.0 units. Draw- a not completely unlikely outcome here- is a push as well at 5D.

I like Williams as well.
I was on Smith for the first fight and I felt bad even if I won my bet, lol.

 

[Ballsaque]

Off or not, Williams proved to be the much sharper and more powerful boxer, outangling Smith with ease, even when he got more comfertable. Smiths grit carried him through though, and Williams seemed to gas a bit beating on him.
Gun to my head Williams by simply being better, but Smith no doubt has more room to do better

Skybet: Liam Smith 7-12 OR Points @ 3.00

That's my play sorted.

[pytycrys]

Jacobs KO @ 1.66 -> me likey

I remember live betting Williams early and the tide definitely started to turn, but i can't remember if there was enough rounds left for Smith to nick the decision. Did Williams start to gas?

Williams was ahead on the scorecards but Smith started coming on strong. This guy breaks the fight down pretty well IMO.

As mentioned, Williams was slowing down heavily and there is no doubt Smith was off his game, he knows it himself and admits that a lot of domestic guys could have bettered him that night. His weight is much more under control this time and I expect he will look to have a much better start this time. I do expect Williams to win the early rounds but Smith's pressure doesn't so much come from his output but his ability to walk you down and keep you working.

We've talked about the cuts etc which in all honesty I see both guys bleeding again this time. A lot of people talk about Williams clearly winning but lets remember he was only 1 round up on all three scorecards (I had it wider) but the likelihood is Smith could have gone one to win that decision if it hadn't been stopped.

I think Smith 7-12 or DEC on Skybet @ 3.00 is fantastic value to be honest, I can see the argument for Williams after the first fight and it's by no means a silly bet but Smith as dog is the right play in my opinion.

Only one round up damn my bet was fucked either way then cos Smith defo had taken charge.

 

[betrayedlurker]

Will Jacobs win by KO or dec?

That's ridiclious score cards though, as Williams was wearing him around like a hat.

 

[CR0W]

I think he gets Arias out of there around 8-10. Jacobs 7-12 is @ 2.75 on SkyBet which looks good.

 

[CR0W]

Nathan Gorman by (T)KO @ 2.00 on Bet365 looks good too, I think his body shots will be the undoing on Soltby, especially over 10.
