Haven't seen much of Yorgey, he may have a decent beard. Thought I saw Hearns hit him with some good shots, particularly a right uppercut off the ropes, Yorgey took it and finished him off..

I wonder if they will post a line on the Helenius-Bidenko fight? Close odds if so. They sure are moving 9-0 Helenius quickly. If he gets by Bidenko he's lined up to face Lamon Brewster in a month. I saw Helenius once, and he looked allright...like a developing prospect. He must be impressing in the gym if they are fast forwarding him like this.
Haye-Valuev
Haye-Valuev
I don't have a solid opinion on this fight; usually when I start to break it all down the picture seems to get a little clearer.
I think Kramden has a good grasp on it. If Valuev can take Haye's big shots early in the fight he has a chance of wearing Haye down, if only because being in the ring with a man this huge can be tiring.
If Haye gets tired, maybe Valuev can catch him with a right hand late in the fight. Holyfield did a lot of moving, and did it very well, but there was a reason why he didn't want to stand right in front of Valuev. Evander certainly didn't want to let Valuev hit him.
I'm not sure if Haye can be as elusive as Evander was that night, not for the whole 12 rounds. I'm leaning a little towards Valuev, late-round stoppage. As Kramden says, Monte Barrett was bouncing right hands off of Valuev's head, and Haye could do the same, but David will have to be careful not to punch himself out.
Interesting fight.

I think that's it. Either Haye is quick enough and hits hard enough to knock the big guy out or not. If not, Valuev stands a good chance of tiring him out.

Kimbrough-White rematch

Fight will, apparently, be tomorrow night. Hope there is a line on this one.

I hit it for the max. I don't see any reason why this shouldn't go some rds. Bailey has some serious pop, hence the Fig ko stoppage but Halloway doesn't have that kind of power. Halloway has a bit of a streak going and Fig has never stopped anybody of note.
\
I also hit the Litz over. I think his power is a little overrated. Edwards got blitzed in 1 by Gamboa but Litz isn't even in that league. I could be wrong but I liked the + number on 6 1/2 rds.
Litz -500 is is too wide but I'd be very surprised to see him lose.
Figueroa-Holloway over seems like the logical bet tonight. It's up to -200 now, but actually opened at -140. Why it's set at 5.5 I don't know? Seems almost strange, as this one has all the looks of a distance fight.

It set at 5.5 because oddsmaker thinks that there is a chance that this fight might be 6 rounds fight. So if he set 7.5 then all bets will be returned. But at 5.5 all bets will stand no matter it is 8 or 6 round fight.

I took a shot at Halloway @ +140.
He looks like a fighter going up and it has been reported that he gave some good sparring to PacMan. I guess that would make you ready for a fight.

Figueroa has been in with much better and he's pretty slick. Holloway seems to have some promise but has fought limited people. A draw with Harrison is poor result. I'd say Figueroa wins it by dec. Fig fights under Roy Jones. We'll find out in moments.
