Thanks man. I think the bookies jumped the gun when they saw Sykes hurt. He showed guts and determination to come back.

Broner vs. Ponce
Broner vs. Ponce
I like the Broner-Ponce fight! Very interesting matchup. I've followed Broner pretty closely and I think he's the goods. Limited comp of course, he's had just 1 tough fight, very young kid...so far has looked the part and then some. Ponce is 2 or 3 levels above what he has faced though. Very big step up.
I think the difference here will be the size. Broner is really a couple of weight classes above Ponce. This size difference should be able to neutralize Ponce's strength and aggression. Fight made for Broner to win, and I see him clearly outboxing Ponce and looking the part of a contender.
Got Broner at plus odds and went sizeable here.

Got the Argentinean Maderna over Acosta. Odds opened even here and traveled quite a bit with Maderna. Maderna a former olympian, and has looked good as a pro. Acosta just a trial horse and if Maderna has got any stuff at all he will win this fight.
Also on Mabuza. Big strong rangy guy. I don't like him not fighting for a year. I think Andrey mentioned that Zab is coming back pretty quickly from tough fight with Matthysse. I agree, and he will find himself in another dog fight here. I can see Zab fading, and a determined Mabuza gaining leverage as the fight goes on.
Good luck guys!!

I would say that is a very good hedge spot Weasel. If Ponce wins it will almost certainly be ITD.

My Bets for Tonight:
Mabuza (very concerned with all the hugging nonsense)
Maderna
and every variation of Canelo stopping Matt Hatton that I could possibly get down ANYWHERE
NO BET on Broner-Ponce but I think you guys are on the right side.
Where is weepaul? I waited all week for the obligatory "Hatton is shite" post.
Interesting to read the European message boards. Usually a fight between a Mexican and Brit rallies quite a debate. But, in this case, the British guys seemed to be the guys betting THE MOST MONEY on Hatton getting creamed. They know what's up here.

Broner/Ponce U7.5 +150 (single pop)
Ponce is overaggressive and Broner looks like the naturally bigger man. I could see a early KO in either direction here.

Zab moving and boxing well through 5...not doing a whole lot but winning most of the action...mabuza pressing and throwing much more...mab hurts zab in rd 6...did a glimpse of the zab dance...Zab MAY win this but those legs betrayed him there...
WOW zab lands a HUGE SHOT IN RD 7..mabuza nearly out...ref lets it continue...zab all over him...OVA :00hour
