My intel is, Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather is going to happen. It changed late last week. Got a call, then somebody else sent me something yesterday and Saturday. We book rooms in Vegas. (This happens) in September.
Some mid-week action in China tomorrow: taking undefeated IBF flyweight champion Amnat Ruenroeng at -215 to win again in the rematch vs Filipino challenger John Riel Casimero. It was a foul-filled fight in 2015 the first time around in Thailand with Ruenroeng grabbing his opponent and throwing him around the ring and even pushing him down a lot which the referee mostly let him get away with except for a late point deduction in round 11. The champion scored two knockdowns in the fight and got the benefit of one of his own being ruled a slip and won a UD. Even with better refereeing, and a more fair fight Ruenroeng has a very awkward style to box and from what I see Casimero isn't the guy to beat him.
Amnat Ruenroeng (-215) vs John Riel Casimero $215.00 for $100.00
Their first fight:
Back from Moscow, had a bit of luck attending the bronze medal game of the ice hockey worlds, thought it would likely be Finland-Czech Republic when I booked but due to a couple of upsets it was Russia-USA (Russia won 7-2) so I got a flavour of what the atmosphere would have been like had Povetkin-Wilder gone ahead.
Probably a bit unlucky with Kalenga-Dorticos on Friday. Kalenga survived Dorticos' early onslaught which I thought would be the key and then seemed to have turned the tide with his greater experience but Dorticos rallied to score the late stoppage.
Don't really rate Bellew, he's European level not world class. Weighing up whether to play Makubu ml or by KO. Normally I would take the KO odds but with Bellew fighting at his soccer team's stadium, he will be really fired up and might tough it out. But I think Makubu takes this.
Sorry man, just woke up and checked BoxRec and apparently Ruenroeng got KO'ed in the 4th in his first loss ever! I should have went with the dog around +170 in a close fight like this. Maybe age caught up with Ruenroeng or a more heavy handed referee prevented him from clinching and opened up his otherwise porous defense too much. Going to have to catch this later on YouTube.Thanks for the tip, I'll follow you with 3/5 units in Ruenroeng at 1.44 (Unibet)

According to what I just read online Ruenroeng pretty clearly won the first three rounds before getting caught with a punch to the chin coming in & hurt during the fourth and then knocked down & out with a vicious body shot. I almost went with the dog just from reading about the first fight and the plans for the rematch in China. Then when I actually watched the whole bout yesterday I switched. Maybe I should stick with half-assed BoxRec capping instead of video!No worries, these things happens. Unibet first corrected it as a win so I was all happy til I saw your post and I had to double check. They changed it.![]()
