Boxing 6/12 - 6/13

[Romi]

I added Calderon -625 straight a few days ago but I kind of regret the play. Cald has had a few close calls lately and at 34 I think he's probably peaked. I placed the wager based on Mayols recent fights and his step ups. However after reading Roaches comments on boxing scene, I kind of think Mayol could be a little live. He's 4 inches taller than cald, he's a lefty and hes got some good pop. It's the kind of wager that could potentially fck up the whole wkend. Anybody think Mayol has a chance?

Geez, Ghost, where did you find this elusive result. It's as if the bout took place in the Isle of Malta or something not outside Los Angeles.

This was one of the hardest results to find Kramden. fightnews still doesn't have it!

I finally found this article in the middle of the night

Damn you are persistent. I didnt have a wager on it but i was curious to get a result. I gave up @ 1 in the morning west cst time. Not sure why that one was so difficult to come by.

I have Calderon closing out a few parlays...I am still thinking about whether to ride it out or hedge.

I watched Mayol against Solis on youtube. Mayol was dangerous with his hands early, but he folded like at tent when he got cracked. He doesn't look very sturdy.
However, as we all know, Calderon can't break an egg. My gut says Calderon has enough left to box circles around this cat. He isn't too far removed from those fights with Hugo Cazares. And I think Cazares is far better than this kid Mayol.

Nice work Ghost Kid!

Nice work Ghost Kid!

In the co-main event Tijuana?s Juan Carlos ?Mini? Burgos used his longer reach and height to box and move his way to victory over Russia?s Vyacheslav Gusev (16-2) in a 10-round featherweight battle for the vacant WBC Cabofe title.

?My formula all along was to box and move,? said Burgos (22-0, 15 KOs) who had a four-inch height advantage over Gusev. ?I couldn?t hit him square. He moved a lot.?



Judge Fritz Werner had it 97-93 for Burgos and judge Ray Corona and Marty Denkin saw it 98-92 for Burgos.



?I?m going to let my hand heal completely before I seek an elimination bout for the world title,? Burgos said.

I made a small play on Mayol at +500 because I think Calderon in vulnerable at 34 with almost 300 rounds of wear and tear. Calderon probably will win, but he is getting hit a lot more in his fights now especially against Cazares because his footwork has lost a step. Mayol with height and reach advantage, could be dangerous early, like you said, but Calderon should outbox him if it goes late.

Havent decided whether or not to buy it back. Graham hasnt reviewed it and Im wondering his take on it. Calderon odds widened a bit since I placed the wager. My concern is that Cald has such little pop that Mayol may not have to be overly concerned but I think I recall Calderon hurting Caz in the 1st go.

Congrats on the Burgos win Ghost! I need Murray to close out a 3 way parlay and bounce back from that OTHER Ghost, loss. Little do they know the REAL Ghost resides around these parts. Many of us in here were happy with the cut stoppage in his last go. That Thai fighter may very well have pulled a huge upset. After watcing the fight last night, I really think Guerrero would have been in deep shit that night.

 

[Ghost Kid]

For sure
I really think, if that cut didn't occur, the Indonesian Yordan was going to box circles around Guerrero
He was giving Guerrero fits

FCKKKKKKKKKK. Boxingscene is saying that Kot/Khan may be postponed. But it looks like it may be off as Warren is looking for a replacement fighter. Kot has some sort of tooth infection. Lamont Peterson is being considered. I'll be surprised if Peterson gets the fight, but I hope he does. Khan can be had.

Shite....
problem with Peterson is he can't punch AT ALL

Calderon gets respect, but not from the networks

According to Doug Fischer, the Calderon bought will be available on the Setanta stream tonight.

I ran out of time this weekend so I didn't take a look at Calderon-Mayol, but I expect Calderon to outbox the Filipino for 12 rounds. Calderon is like a winning machine and I don't see any signs of decline. ... Like most here I was surprised that Guerrero-Hinojosa went as long as it did. Hinojosa came to give a good effort and he was throwing enough right hands, with enough "on" them, to keep Guerrero from steaming right into him. Maybe it was me, but Hinojosa looked the bigger guy, and he seemed able to absorb Guerrero's left hands easily enough -- but Guerrero wasn't really stepping in with the punches, as others here have noted. Now Guerrero is saying he was glad to have got in the rounds. That's the problem with laying a big price on under props -- sometimes the guy we think will blow out his opponent is instead quite content just to keep winning rounds without getting hit too much.

Thx Graham. Appreciate the response. I read the column that Ghost posted and he still appears to be supremely confident in his capabilities. I'm going to leave the bet alone. Mayol will HAVE to knock him out to win.

RG doesn't belong @135. I think he gets beat up at that weight. I'll have to do my homewrk on Klassen but IMO the top guys will beat Guerrero. I would wager the farm on Gamboa over the Ghost right now. Not likely that comes off in the near future but I know the match has been proposed.

6th rd stoppage...another wide chalk win. No props again but I'll take the win...and the money.
Congrats Murray and under backers:toast:

I'm having a decent week. I'm going to leave Cald alone but I'm debating whether or not to hedge the cotto wager:mj03:

I asked this question earlier and got rediculed out of this thread like some of the boxing guys did in the mma thread earlier in the week :142smilie Fuck it im gonna ask it again. I watched Cotto fight numerous times and i think he is weak to the body. I only saw Clottey once but can't remember much. Does Clottey throw many shots to the body or is he a head hunter? Be gentle with me guys cause i am a boxing fan also.

Cotto has shown chin issues...not any body shot issues that I can recall
but Clottey is more of a swatter than a power guy

A lot of this fight depends on what Cotto has still
I think Cotto should take a decision

but I love the odds on Clottey
I am taking Clottey, Clottey dec., DRAW small

Good luck dude

Ghost i thought Sugar Shane hurt Cotto to the body and the ref pulled a stunt to let Cotto recover. Someone else i remember hurt Cotto to the body. Me playing this also has a lot to do with the Margarito fight and if it has done some damage to Cotto. Cotto quit that fight and rightfully so before he got knocked senseless. Do u know if Clottey is allowed to use any of that plaster for this fight?
