Rios looks really shitty... I will go long on John M. at +1000 and Draw for a very small amount...
Chisora and Helenius had a small brawl at the weight in ( 1.30 -> ) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBfKCS9zaOk
Hope Helenius knocks him out early....

The Romero fight was sweet. Can't believe he got the nod in Avalos's backyard. Avalos and crew were celebrating like they knew they won and I expected Avalos to get the nod, too. But I do think Romero did the better work and the 1st round knockdown was questionable. Judging was good, a rarity on Gary Shaw cards on the left coast.
agree...romero has talent and didn`t let the shaky 1st round k.d. throw him...he used his reach advantage very well....some slick defensive moves late...
and i actually thought that dirrell`s brother showed some real talent...he was calm,quick and seems to have more pop and "want to" than andre....one problem is that he seems to hold that chin up a little too high...
good friday night show...congrats,lotl
Thx bro, btw. I sent you an e-mail yesterday not sure if you have seen it?
Cheers

PS: Still no result on the Williams fight.. maybe it was cancelled?
are you "kim"?......if so,i wasn`t aware that it was you and ditched it...:shrug::lol: (to many viruses making the rounds)....
sorry...couldn`t pull it back up...:banghead:
btw...more info on rios....http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/i...weight-weight-stripped-lightweight-title-belt
the beauty of this situation is that the odds are so weighted toward rios that a hedge is still very profitable at +775........

Yeah, Romero is a slick dude. Not your average Colombian fo sho.
I've always like Anthony Dirrell. Before he was diagnosed with the big C, I thought he had more upside than Andre. Glad he's getting back and hope he does well.
I sent you a message from LordoftheLunch@ ... maybe it ended in your spam folder?

Rios looked really bad, like a different person. Faces of meth.
The line was holding strong at +1000 for Murray last night but has since dropped. I wanted to wait for the re weigh ins today to see what Rios looked like, isnt he supposed to be doing that about now?

Some very stuff during the whole lead up to that fight. I think most people here are on Helenius too :0074
Miguel Cotto vs. Antonio Margarito
Miguel Cotto vs. Antonio Margarito
(Antonio Margarito +175, Antonio Margarito by KO +300)
I don't see how this fight will be any different than the first. Correct me if I'm wrong but in all the build up to the fight, I've yet to come across the issue being raised about the size disparity now in comparison to the first fight. Cotto was a small welterweight to begin w/, and is now simply a tiny junior middleweight. Margarito on the other hand, much like Paul Williams, can jump up and down in weight, but I think 154 is his true weight class, going by the number he rehydrates to, 165 being the number he went up to against Pacquiao and their 150 catch weight. With tonight's fight being at a catchweight of a pointless 153, I predict Margarito will rehydrate to about 170. Cotto has done nothing of note at 154, beating a one legged Foreman who even w/ fresh legs was still going to get dominated, and Mayorga, who he beat simply because he's a far superior boxer. Cotto's movement is far worse now than before, as Mayorga was able to catch Cotto far too frequently. Now the issue w/ Margarito's right eye, there simply is no way to tell until the actual fight. However, in the 24/7 episodes, trainer Robert Garcia is shown asking all of Margarito's sparring partners to repeatedly target his eye w/ left hooks, as that is what he anticipates Cotto doing. Sparring is sparring, but the two featured sparring partners were Jesus Soto Karass and J'Leon Love.

Unfortunately, not.. Williams lost by 2nd round KO. Was hoping for the Williams KO result!

Thanks for the info. Already heard some rumors that Will lost by Ko. Its a pitty he was a "old" battlecrouser but every ship is going to sink at some point.
Cheers

Sounds good to me buddy, I think he has a real chance to win inside, but I dont expect it to be early so I took fight to end mid/late; as on the other hand I can see cotto to end this late too.
PS: Never forget the Draw

Rios just weighed in at 146.4. The fight is officially on, fuck the hedge I'm going down the ship.
Huge day of fights, I'm already pacing around and shadow boxing :box2:

Congrats on that Sturm/Murray draw, I took Sturm straight up and in parlays as I thought Murray was just a second tier version of Macklin, quite a shocker. Never forget the draw is right, if only I had any kind of outlet to place such a wager :/
Cotto is the sentimental favorite here and I think is being bet accordingly, which is why I must go with Margarito. If it goes to the scorecards perhaps Cotto has the edge, but Cotto is no longer a Top Rank contracted fighter after tonight, food for thought as well.
