Boxing Discussion VIII

On Gallimore too, I can't see Williams standing up to the thudding power of Gallimore.

nathanial is chinny as well. deroach appeared to have him hurt a couple times and gallimores knees buckled badly against rosario.

gallimores take one to give one fighting style reminds me of 147 mayorga, only differnce was ricardo had granite to back it up

Sure, but 2.68 is well off and implies only a 37.3% chance he wins here, which i disagree with, so Gallimore is the obvious play here.
 
anybody on Traux? iirc he won the first fight pretty easy in england and DeGale looked like shit.. yet i can still get Traux DEC +600 and they are fighting in the US this time? :eek:

He's definitely worth putting money down on at the current price. DeGale claims the layoff and surgery hugely affected him etc and he's a totally different animal now. Problem is his style relies a lot on movement and slickness and he looked to be so off the pace last time, was it the layoff and surgery, or is he simply not physically at that level anymore. He doesn't have big power to keep a pressure fighter like Traux from coming straight forward at him, I've got some down on Traux and will look to LB depending on how DeGale looks after a few.

Yes I backed Truax a week ago at 5.50, I believe DeGale is finished, he looked atrocious beyond belief last fight, I am also going to sprinkle a little bit on Truax ITD @10.00
 
For this weekend I have 2u on Truax @ 5.50 and 1u on Truax + Rose @ around 11 or so.

Odds on Truax were completely silly, they still are. He's down to +200 in the US , Ladbrokes still have him +300. I also like the KO Prop +900 for Truax, Degale was EATING so many uppercuts in the first fight it's crazy.

Let's go Caleb!
 
lara ml -115 lara dec +165 hurd rd 7-12 +700, hoping to hedge the lara ml with hurd ml in live bettng

unless lara gets caught early i think that there is a good chance that hurd will be a +300 after the first three or four rounds. lara is much better than trout in all areas except punch resistance and austin was the favorite in live betting up until i believe the fifth or sixth round, a 200 point swing from the original pre fight line

added more gallimore at +112. there is a chance that willimas might be affected by the cut to 154. his trainer claimed that weght was not an issue for smith yet he still came in over 155.

Going against my initial pick of Lara after rewatching more fights again.

I think the judges are going to favour Hurd's pressure tactics far more that Lara's clean work, maybe even a late stoppage. The size difference is very significant and could end up being the key factor here, playing Hurd ML and likely DEC.

My thoughts exactly for backing Hurd. More judge friendly style and Laras time has come and passed I believe.

Yeah I think the youth and size could play a big part here, it may just be too much for Lara at this point, which is my thinking now.

you can still get hurd +700 rds 7-12. i dont think that line is going to get better in live betting no matter how good lara looks in the first four rounds
 
wtf is ellerbe doing in williams corner?

if this goes to the cards gallimore could get robbed. i think its wise to hedge if giving the opportunity
 
Gallimore faded badly, Williams took over down the stretch, looking like it'll be about 8-4 in Williams' favour.
 
On Traux ML, some on TKO and a little on the draw as cover.

I'd be shocked if we see DeGale look like he did in 2016, I think he's definitely lost a step, let's just hope Truax has that same hunger in this rematch.
