Boxing 12/2 - 12/5

[Quanah]

Arreola-Minto UNDER 7.5 (-135) - medium I just don't see where Minto is going to hide for that long? He is not exactly an elusive fighter. He will stand and fight, and when he does he's going to get his ass kicked. Minto is willing, which is why he get's ko'd here. Arreola too big, too strong, too tough.

On a normal week, I may go bigger here, but there is just so much else going on.

Good luck madmen!!

Saturday night play:

Tony Thompson (-115) - XXL .

That's a bargain, where did you get this nice line, I would jump on it too!:mj06:

Brunson vs. Carson was a head scratcher. Brunson has fast hands, a trip hammer jab and some power.

But his resistance once things became less than perfect makes Bruce Seldon look like George Chuvalo by comparison.

Talk about folding up your tent and closing up shop, wow!

I'd say a lot of that was mental but it's obvious in spite of his conspicuous assets, speed, physique, etc, his less conspicuous attributes are obviously vastly sub par.

:mj07: I'll have to remember that analogy. Chuvalo was as tough as they come. From what I've heard, he is a class act to boot.

hey man,

apologies for not getting back to you about Carson Jones line. Didn't see post until much later.

Yeah, the Thompson line has moved considerably now. I think at 2 to 1 he still has great value.

Saturday night play:

Tony Thompson (-115) - XXL Odds have moved now... So, I am a big Tony Thompson fan. Bet you didn 't know there was such a thing...but there is. Tony Thompson has won me more money than any other fighter. Remember that $100,000 heavy tourney? I had M.Harris and then Thompson a very long odds. They met in the final, which Harris won - but if fight was 1 more round Thompson was gonna KO him. He was the best fighter in that tourney and I knew he had potential.

I won huge on him against D.Guinn at +250 or thereabouts. Huge against T.Ibragimov at -200. And HUGE against Krasniqi at +200. Against Klitschko, I had all these long shot parlays anchored by Thompson. If he would of won, it would've been a Jackpot for me.. He did not of course, Klitschko was just a little better all-around...but I thought Thompson fought well. After 5 rounds it was still a fair fight, and Klitschko was definitely tired at end. Thompson did much better than any other recent challenger.

Thompson is tall, rangy, athletic, good jab, 6-5 250 with a better punch than people think. He is also still focused - as he looks in good shape. He is a laid back guy, but always comes in ready.

Thompson is better than Witherspoon in every category... And Witherspoon came in out of shape. This fight will not be close.

This is one of the other fights I liked as well. You just sold me on wagering it. Wish I had seen it @-115. Good luck Brother!!!

:mj07: I'll have to remember that analogy. Chuvalo was as tough as they come. From what I've heard, he is a class act to boot.

Very much so, he's from the same area as myself and Weepaul, I believe he lost 1 son to suicide and another to drugs. These days he's an anti-drug speaker. I know he's Native American, and they have an unfortunate history of drug and alcohol addiction.

I saw him at a local gym one day and didn't know what to say, I fumbled an introduction and shook his hand, then when he walked by the boxing area, I tried extra hard to impress him, like some teenager. I doubt he considers me a challenge. I saw him again in the change room, other guys were talking to him like an ordinary Joe, but I couldn't say anything, I mean what do you say to a man like that?

Unfortunately all that punishment took its toll, he slurs his words badly. But fuck, this is the man who took Foreman's best shots and didn't go down. A bad mutha. Foreman showed him respect after the fight was stopped.

no worries I took Carson at +180 ... and now Thompson at -190 ... you have a run bro and you know the trend is your friend ;-)

There's been much talk about Arreola's belly and it's sad, but I was a little suprised at Minto's gut at 218. You'd expect Minto to be a Budweiser beer salesman with a keg in the passenger's seat on his route..... Arreola- any beer would do for him I'm sure- Tecate, etc..

I think John Simpson powers thru this rather punchless Bell in about 8 rounds... What's the ridiculous head butt/cut rule in Englland, under certain jurisdictions if fighter A is kicking ass the whole fight and fighter B is cut and has to stop due to an accidental headbutt, B wins?? What organization is that joke of a rule under?

Huh, I'm sorry bro but George is Canadian Croat. Both of his parents are Croat. I would not correct you but we only had a few world class boxers :toast:

My first thought was "Chuvalo is as Croatian as Nikola Tesla", until I googled it, and realized you are correct Sir, he is of Croatian parents. My mistake :toast:

Hi Gents,

Regarding "special" bets, (not our main plays)

there are some very nice lines out there:

e.g. Minto points +1200, draw +5000
Martinez points +600
Prescott draw +6900
Bell draw +7900
Salita by points +4100, draw +15000...

all those bets are very unlikely but at these odds worth a small play.

Not to forget the double chances you can do on Huck / Khan fights.

Just my 2 cents.

Good luck to all of us :toast:

Cheers
LotL

Where did you see a line on that? I thought Wright would beat him. Wright bigger and gave McCloskey his toughest fight.

It was up at 5dimes for about an hour or so this morning
when I went back to the site at ten past noon, it was gone
I talked to customer service - they had just taken it down at noon
missed a huge opportunity
what is the point of placing a line up for 1 hour?
it gives customers ZERO chance to even play it

 

[LordoftheLunch]

How is bell doing I could get him at +2000??? worth some bugs?

 

[Ghost Kid]

SIMPSON WINS
Bell quits in the corner
not sure what round
