Boxing 6/25 - 6/26
- Thread starter Ghost Kid
- Start date
I am betting pretty big on Fury at -190. I think the last fight matured him and he was coming on strong at the end.
He dug deep then and is now a year older.
I believe McD is a guy who finds a way to lose the big one and might get creamed in this fight.
I don't think he can fight better but I think Fury can.
The only thing stopping me from going really big is the fight being held in Essex and that's were McD is from :scared
Good luck boys!!! :toast: :toast:

Weekend plays so far...
Weekend plays so far...
Probably not finished yet, but this is what I've got going so far.
Simon-Rodriguez OVER 8.5 (-180) - medium well This looks like a solid wager to me. Neither guy ever stopped, and neither with much power. Both of their fights tend to go rounds. Barring a cut or such, this looks like a distance dance.
Jose Angel Rodriguez (+800) - small To be honest, I expect Lajuan Simon to win. I think Simon is a pretty good fighter, and I thought he had a good chance to upset Sylvester...but he didn't. Rodriguez is a dark horse here though. The guy seems to always be in good competitive fights. He's also from NY, and so is the fight in NY. Simon has a tendency to be a bit lazy I think, and if he's not at the top of his game, he could be in deeper than he expects. I had this one capped much closer than the odds, so I'll take a small shot on the big upset.
Still thinking some other things over... I'm ready for a big week, one with lots of lines and good fights.

I thought that the Fightwriter had great insight on this one. I pretty much went thru the same train of thought. I was long thinking that McD had a chance to spring the upset here. Then, after reading Graham's column and hearing that Fury had suspect preparation, I was all set to wager...then, after seeing the weigh-in photos, it's very hard for me side with McD. Fury looked much better physically then I have ever seen him. Now, I've got to go with Fury, and I think he's got a good chance to get him out of there.
Wagering-wise, I'm steering clear.

Graham has revised his pick after the weigh-in:

I tend to agree with weepaul, Quanah, Graham on this one
Fury looks like a different person with that extra weight - in a good way
I've seen McDermott blow it time and time again
I think Fury is ready to take care of business here

I tend to agree. I can't get that Pillsbury Dough Boy pic out of my mind. McD looks like he trained at McD's. I'm VERY tempted to go with -185 on Fury. Looks can be very deceiving but how on Earth can a guy in McDerms condition compete at the top Brit level ? That guy would get iced at World class. I think this comes down to whether or not not Fury is real or a fraud and not how good McDerm is. Even if Mc wins this, it's obvious his career isn't going beyond the Euro level.
I'm on board Brother! If the big guy would just use his reach and size to his advant, he COULD make it easy. Getting caught in a trading war with the big lummox gives McD a great shot. I think Fury improves on the 1st outing. Good luck to us :toast:
'Steering clear', who am I kidding. I'm in. Small wager on Fury!!

Sky sports 2 showing Fury-McD I. I watched 3 rounds thinking it was live, and thought we were in big trouble. Hopefully a different story today.

I like the draw and the over... maybe Fury inside at +200 as a hedge... no big play for me unless the draw hits =)
