Well, what's the story gents? No interest? Stock market and $4.50 gas got you guys down! I did'nt see the last fight. I will look around for it. Any strong opinions here? Why is Holt a 3 buck chalk? Later.

Unless Holt gets KOed..I think he coasts to decision win. He was minutes away from it last time in Fullajah. Not a big fan of Holt but expect him to safely box his way to decision. 3-1 though I pass.

a small play on Torres is worth it i believe

80 % Holt wins a decision by hitting, running, and holding

20 % Torres catches him and turns the lights out

Yea, 3-1 is too rich for my blood. Was watching some rounds on Tube. I would'nt pay two cents to see them. Seemed very lackluster and not too many punches with bad intentions.

It would be a real kick in the teeth if Torres beats Holt in the rematch after all the hyperbole from the Holt camp. Holt looked reticent in his bout with rugged Ben Tackie. Torres wil be tough and in spite of the fight being in the States, he still has Top Rank promoting the match.:walk: :jerkit::mj07:

I keep watching first fight and if Torres survives till round 11(I don't see why he will not survive) then Holt doomed. Just watch how Holt do not want to do anything but running really, really fast in 11 round, but his legs can not run anymore and finally Torres catch up with him... I think Torres pressure just too much for Holt for 12 rounds. For 10 rounds Holt can handle it but not for 12 rounds.
The first fight Torres won fair and square. Why this time things have to be different.
Torres definitely have a great value. Odds just crazy on this fight and this is all because Holt's camp come up with all this nonsense about first fight.
Now all pressure is on Holt he got what he asked. Now it is time to be KO'd again.

Played Torres KO rds 9 to 12 big, hedged by Holt dec.

The odds on the Torres later rds KO (around +40 each round) were to good to pass on.

this randy griffin,who`s fighting sturm again,sure do fight alot of draws....

if he happens to get the better of sturm in a close fight in germany,maybe he draws again for the 4th time.....

apparently he`s one of those guys that fights hard enough to be extremely competitive,but doesn`t have enough to separate himself in fights...

small throwaway at +2500...

i`m gonna do something with sturm via decision at -141....small straight or a par...

VERY quiet week. I'm still reeling from the Cortez DQ fiasco. I asked Punch to kick that senile piece of sht in the nuts if he sees him in Vegas. Ok, had to get that out.

I have Torres +310 small play and med play on Sturm. Would have had a few more on Sturm but I'm in conserve mode til I recoup a few bucks. Good luck everybody.

Nice call Garden!! I had a tiny wager on a draw.

I only have one bet on boxing this week.

Holt wins inside the distance (Medium). In their last fight Torres was decked in round 6 like he was shot. Then, during the count you could see Holt getting hit on the dome by a flying beer can:142smilie .
He hurt Torres a few times. This time I think he finishes him.

Good luck all.

you know,wee,you can get both guys inside at incredibly favorable odds.....

holt at +229...torres at +404!......

hard not to take a small bite of both...the odds are such that theres not much pain even if a guy whiffs.....

oh no... that was a serious headbutt.

terrible, terrible to see it end that way.

that headbutt was pretty danged hard. torres was basically a sitting duck after that one.




uh-oh.



now that they've traded controversial knockouts, time for a rubber match.

the more i see the replay, the more it looks like the headbutt had him out on his feet.

this is terrible, a dreadful outcome.
