Boxing 6/4 - 6/7

[punchmaster]

At 5'5" Parra is average height for 122 lbs. Caballero at 5'11" is freakishly tall for his weight and has a 6" height advantage over most of his opponents, so height is not really the issue here. If you wanted to make a relevant arguement against Parra it would be that he fought at 112 a few years ago, while Cab is a legit 122 lber

Parra was a world class fighter going into the rematch with Sakata, he missed weight by 5 lbs proving he outgrew the weightclass, now he's looking for a new one. At +360 I'll take my chances with a great fighter having full homefield advantage

As far as having a relevant argument, I was well aware that Parra fought for years at 112 winning a string of 6 DECISIONS against good comp. Caballero knows how to use that 5'11" and Parra is listed at 5'4.5" on boxrrec. It's tough enough for standard super bantams to deal with the freakish Caballero never mind a longtime flyweight. Caballero knows how to wing those long arms into the sides/ribs when nothing else is avialalble. I doubt Parra makes it through 8 rounds. Parra backers will need some Venezualan shenanigans to get him the victory.

The Lacierva fight was mentioned, well Lacierva has fought as high as 130 prior to Caballero and seemed to be settlingl into 122-126 which is a big difference from a long time at 112. Ponce has got one loss and that's to Caballero which will be more impressive when Ponce handles Lopez

I have only great memories of Williams vs Quintana 1. Quintana via dec gave +1300. Together with money on the over, money wise, that fight was fantastic!
I'm on the over again, this weekend.

I already have money on Manuel Lopez via dec, at +700. But since I see Ponce de Leon stopping Lopez, I have much more on Ponce de Leon via KO at +150.

good luck everybody :mj09:

 

[frank s.]

Lopez+150 over De Leon; Pavlik INSIDE-too much;
Wiliams over Quntana-170. Mora is live @+400 and I may shoot some coin his way. I think Pavlik absolutely DESTROYS Lockett. This is a set-up deal for Pavlik-Calzaghe. It's all hype.

Anyone else notice that Pinnacle has alot of the fights this weekend under the wrong day? Alot they have listed as July...

Randall Bailey hurt him a few times which is understandable. Bailey can hit a bit despite his shortcomings. Emmanuel Augustus damn near knocked Ngoudjo out in the last round. Still I think his chin is OK. Bailey can hit and he was quite tired against Augustus.

Thx for the comments. I'm not overly concerned about Ngoud getting rocked. Coming back and winning the fight is what ultimately matters. He went 12 strong w/castillo in only his 16th fight. 1 fight later he takes on the very dangerous and tough Baily. He only had 12 fights going in w/ augustus. I think he has a decnt beard all things considered. I'll stick w/my bet. I got on for a steal @-265. I wouldn't push -420 straight up but still worth a parlay. I think Ngoud wins a dec by 115-112 variety.

 

[Zerwas]

Its funny, I almost have the same picks as Evan...maybe he's copying picks from this forum and I'm actually paying for my own picks...LOL..
:142smilie...just kidding...

Could be a very nice weekend boxingwise, Germany's playing against Poland ....

Thanks for turning me onto Lopez guys.

I played Mora decision +600 as a hedge for Forrest profits. There has been support for Mora from Doug Fischer on Maxboxing, but his articles sounds biased and personally invested. I still think Forrest will smoke him.

Lotteries:

Lopez 10-12 +1550

Ponce KO 1 2 3, in case Lopez gets caught up in the moment and trades, or gets caught in an early Ponce tornado. Once the fight settles, it's Lopez.

Ponce KO 12, 4 to win 260 :mj07:

Plays

Mbaye-Ngoudjo OVER 9.5 rounds -365 (1 units)
Ngoudjo wins 12 rd dec +107 (2 units)

If Ngoudjo doesnt KO mbaye late in the fight this will go all the way to the judges cards and he wont be needing judges favors and should win by a nice margin. He is ready for that fight and Mbaye will see what black panther can do... :SIB

ya know,this ngoudjou/m`baye fight is a real treat as a sort of friday prelim to the showtime/hbo/ufc ppv cards on saturday night.....

this is a beautiful match-up of guys that really feel the necessity to preserve their niche as "contenders".......m`baye looks like a live dog,but 2 canadian judges and a hoser ref dampen my enthusiasm...still,worth wagering a pack of gum on....

i read over the thread(i`m usually a day late and a dollar short posting plays these days with the sharps on the board watching the lines like cat and canary),but i like zerwas` card quite a bit....and i don`t see an action fighter like lockett hanging around very long with a killer like pavlik unless pavlik has money on the over....

parra,looks like a loser,but,as box said,home court with a legit world class fighter is an interesting confluence(franks likes that one)of circumstances....

ponce and lopez...i can`t wait...intriguing match-up....

enjoy gents...

what a weekend.....

bad situation...old lady wants to go out saturday night(that`s out)....the ufc/hbo/showtime cards and lucy liu as a horny vampire on sci fi.....and i only have 2 dvd recorders.....

Adding a value play...

M'Baye Inside Distance +784...lay .10 to win .80

[gardenweasel]

now i understand how rees outhustled m`baye....

he had ngoudjo hald blind and hasn`t tried ti capitalize on the situation....

if he doesn`t land a lucky punch(and he`s mostly missing his few right hands),he`s toast......he gets outhustled.....

you`re in canada,not the bordeaux country,m`baye...

 

[gardenweasel]

had ngoudjou one side blind for over half the fight......and didn`t change a thing.....

fought at the same deliberate pace...didn`t go after the eye.....one punch at a time(occasionallly two)....

ngoudjo landed little,but,he shoe-shined m`baye every time m`baye half-heartedly tried to mount any offense....

he got out-hustled....and had the nerve to act indignant about the decision......

i know theres a 4 day work week in france,but this was ridiculous...

 

[BOXLOCKS]

I knew M'Baye wasn't winning a decision in Canada with his low workrate, which is why I saw value in the Inside Distance prop at +800. When Ngoud's left eye closed in the 4th, I really like my chances. Of course I was assuming that M'Baye would smell blood and jump all over the hometown guy. I figured he would throw right hand after right hand at the injured eye until he forced a stoppage. However, instead of picking up the pace and targeting the injured eye, M'Baye's workrate actually went down and he refused to throw the right hand...lol

M'Baye is either half retarded, or he was paid to lose a decision tonight, those are the only possible explanations. Seriously, what was his gameplan going into the fight? How did he expect to win when he made no effort to outwork his opponent, and when he got N'Goud into trouble he refused to take advantage of it

Like I said, M'Baye is either mentally challenged or he got paid off tonight...absolutely pathetic effort

and acted like he was robbed...ngoudjou did very little scoring actually.....

the guy`s 33..real chances to make some noise are dwindling.....it was there for m`baye...the perfect storm...

some days i find myself shaking my head in disgust so much,my neck hurts... :nooo:
