2x 117x111 disgusting scorecards... got a feeling bookies have access to these cards sometimes

oh well.. still made like 600-700$ on fight goes to dec. by round 10 fight goes to dec was still +odds :D
 
Similar, made 5u because it went the distance, would have made 40u if a draw and even more than that if Medina had got it. Thought a draw was very plausible with no knock-downs or point deductions and very even stuff.
 
Once again wishing I had better access to live bet. I just had to suck up my loss on the under 8½.
 
on bute here but kind of regretting it. think badou wins via ko.
 
I can't believe Bute/Jack went to a majority draw. I mean, it's nice to get my money back on a push there but Jack clearly won that fight 117-111 or so like one judge had it.
 
Bet the draw in-play as a hedge because I was big on Jack by decision in play. Ended up winning around 20u thanks to that.

Undeserved but I would have won more if DeGale-Medina had been a draw which was much more plausible.
 
That draw screwed my parlay! Down 15u on the night I couldn't lb as out tonight and needed to sleep.. Oh well

Fuck didnt stay up for American fights that fight sounded a dream + odds in r10!
 
Ffs Degale was +275 i think to win by dec. Bet you would have got + odds on that even in the latter rounds. Wish id stayed up now my dec strategy wiuld have worked great
 
Degale looked like shit, regret that bet. Trying to intimate after the fight that Medina was juicing instead was kind of shitty, too. I thought Jack was on his way to stopping Bute early but slowed down late and the old man Bute came on pretty strong to survive and win a few rds. Since I had the itd line, the draw didn't affect me but that really was a bullshit Dec, sorry to any Jack backers who got screwed with that one.

Another loss on boxing, don't regret the Jack bet, think he looked really on point in there. I do however regret my Ortiz bets and the Degale under bet. Both of those were square in retrospect. Happy that Williams Jr hit though, chased for another .5u that saved me from only taking a small L.
 
The PBC on Fox card was great, lots of KOs. I liked the outdoor venue too. Williams Jr. cashing at +260 with that crazy KO over Rodriguez, plus Berto knocking out Ortiz made my night.

I was really surprised Bute got a draw against Jack on Showtime, although it was nice to get a push and my money back. I thought Medina looked great against DeGale and could have earned the victory if boxing wasn't such a crooked sport. Between all my bets this weekend, I end up with a small profit of .44u.
 
Looking ahead to next weekend- any thoughts about Canelo/Khan on HBO PPV Saturday evening? Anyone give Khan any chance as a dog? Or do you like Canelo via stoppage or by decision? And interest in the undercard bouts? There's also a minor Golden Boy card on Estrella TV Friday night; a Kubrat Pulev vs Dereck Chisora heavyweight fight from Germany on Saturday; and a lightweight title fight as a near pick 'em on Sky Sports 2 from the UK featuring Anthony Crolla vs Ismael Barroso.
 
Like Crolla +120. Think Barroso is being somewhat overrated because of the Mitchell win, not sure how much Mitchell had left. Crolla is not top, top class but he is hard working, tough and improving. Obviously Barroso has KO power, though.

Definitely a fight in which I will bet the draw, Crolla is at home in Manchester so might also benefit if it goes to decision.
 
I already have a bet on Barroso so obviously liking him in this spot but Crolla has impressed me in his fights with Perez and he's on his own turf so I get a bet on him at +money as well. should be an interesting fight.

Liking Canelo by stoppage. Khan hasn't fought a guy who punches nearly as well as Canelo and he's been hurt/dropped/stopped by much lesser punchers than Canelo anyway. Khan's got quick hands and he's a skilled fighter for sure but Canelo looking like he's gonna be a great fighter and I think once he gets going he bludgeons Khan's brains in.

haven't thought much about Pulev/Del Boy yet. Pulev pretty juiced at almost 4-1 so ml not very enticing to me. I wonder what kind of shape Chisora is in and how much gas he has left in the tank after some tough fights. Pulev isn't anything special but I do favor him. Think that if Del Boy's in shape and motivated there could be some value as a decent sized dog.

Also looking into Gomez/Herrera. That one should be fun to watch. Gomez notoriously lazy even though he's very talented. Another guy whose shape we need to keep an eye on. Herrera's a tough vet but he's been in a lot of wars and you'd think that's gotta catch up with him at some point. Gomez is a ? until I find out whether he's in decent shape or not. If he is he should win this pretty clearly imo.
 
BT, do you like Alvarez wins by KO/TKO/DQ or UD at -249? I just bet that to win 1u. Figure I could always add a separate prop on a point spread, split decision or KO prop at much higher odds if I like.

Yes. I have a very hard time not seeing that hitting. If he struggles much against Khan I will be shocked. Maybe he has a few problems early if Khan starts quick but Canelo should at least ud him here. Never know with the shit judging in combat sports but we take that risk every week with these dumb judges.

Yeah agree Mitchell was done at that point.
