thanks for the Bash play whoever convinced me to bet it. Lots of chatter here so I ain't sure but man that's a dog play for the record!
Boxing 2/22 - 2/23
- Thread starter BOXLOCKS
- Start date
Final adjustment...
As posted, I hedged my Klit parlays with Ibrag +24.5 points +140, but after further review I put too much on it. Still think Klitschko will be too much for the little guy, so I'm buying back some of my hedge
5dimes now has Klit -24.5 points at -150...Lay .45 to win .30
Final play on the hedge...Lay .70 to win .95
Done for the week

"my man" wrote a lengthy write-up on Klitschko, and is betting his week's winnings on him.
Im adding 150 to win 50 (ish) on Klit.

Not much time, a few thoughts on the fight tonight...
* Ibrag is not 6'2"....more like 6'1" at the most
* Iggy's southpaw stance is an advantage for Klitschko. Why?...Klit is almost 6" taller and Iggy has a short reach. Iggy would have a hard time getting to Klits chin if he was orthodox. The southpaw stance takes his power hand even further away from Klits chin b/c their lead feet being on the same side forces the fighters to stand further away from each other. Iggy won't be able to land from a standing position, he'll have to step in with the left foot to get inside and that takes him out of position to throw the left with anything on it.
* Contrary to popular belief, Iggy is not that big of a puncher, and Klits chin is not that fragile. There's no dought Klit has had stamina problems in the past, but those issues have been dealt with. Sanders stoppage of him was legit, but Corey is much taller than Iggy and punches much harder. Klit was down 4 times in that fight before the ref called it off, its not like he was knocked out cold. Iggy will have a much harder time stopping Klit, for all the reasons mentioned. The Sanders fight was 5 years ago, Klit has learned how to survive when hurt since then, the Peters fight for example. If Iggy hurts him early in the fight, Klit will tie him up and lean on him until the fog clears.
* The only way Iggy wins this fight imo, is if Klit punches himself out or becomes exhausted in the late rounds. But I don't see it happening

Just for the record i go against my man and most here. I believe Klitschko will dominate and hunt Iggy down and knock him out.
round 7 to 9 at 550 have a good chance to hit.
I dont see Iggy winning rounds (at most 2 ).
Just one thing i want to add Wlad has no stamina problem whatsoever. That is not just an opinion but for me thats a fact. I know people how were running with klitschko in Hamburg and nobody to keep up. Klitschko has the preparation to fight 15 rounds at a very fast pace abd still hit as hard as in the first.
You can not run from Klitschko imo, Klitschko will show how fAST HE IS ON HIS FEET moving forward. If he moves backwards he looks clumsy.
Iggy looked good against Holy and Briggs.
What is correct that Klitschko doesnt like to get hit one bit and he will panic if he gets hit clean with anything meaningful. But Wlad is not getting hit clean easy. In fact a video with shows Wlad getting hit through his whole fighting life would be pretty damn short.
Just one fighter made it through 12 without at least getting knocked down by Klitschko and that is Sam Peter and he backed him up.
That was not very organised but the bottomline is
Klit inside and Klits with point handicaps.

I have absolutely no idea who that is. lol.
Anyway good to see we're all on board for Klitschko. The line really moved in our favour, its -300 at WSEX.
Good luck guys!
Starks wrote a long write-up for this fight, predicts a dominating performance by Klit
Just a shot in the dark, was mostly kidding
gl tonight
I 'll be sweating it out but I got on the bandwagon here. Got klit for -290 (little cheaper than vegas). Didn't bet the farm. Good luck everybody!
I was holding my breath on the scorecards as well. Thank God for the moron judge who scored 117-111.
Congrats.
that was rather dull.......jab and grab.....almost ruiz-like...
o.k...on to the real action next week...

****ing judges.
I had ****ing lederman pavlik -2 last week and now my -24 gets smashed. I won undec or knockout and -14 but thats not good.
I was very sure that he gets him at hte midway of the fight. round 7 upward but Klit is a scared fighter but why should he take risks ?
Not a total fiasko but thats what i get for going against my guy and the over guys here.

Just hit the parlay of dieppa and lopez! very nice week going 4-0. This matched my best week on the yr. Not exactly where i wanted to be 2 mnths in but well in the black after the Paul Williams fiasco.
Barashian really turned out to be better than I expected, great call boxlox!
Alexeev looked really strong, I thought Griffin would be a step up for him, but he absolutely destroyd him.
