Well, so much for Arnaoutis. I scored it 97-93 for Hop, not 100-90, but I thought both guys sucked, Arn just a bit worse. Hop was negative too, but Arn performance was embarrassing. The guy just cannot get off anymore. He waits and waits for perfect positioning which never comes. We've seen this happen to alot of guys, and when it does, it's time to get out. It's frustrating to watch, and even more frustrating when you back the guy, even for a small amount. The fight was there to be won, and I think any legit contender will beat Hop. None of us should ever touch Arn again. My apologies for the ill-advised play. Moving on...

Firat Arslan +100 - Medium
If not for Firat's age and rust, this would be a large play for me because Firat has the perfect style to beat Herelius. Herelius has no jab to keep Firat away from fighting inside. Herelius pulls straight back and Firat should be able to land as long as he throws. Firat has quicker hands and digs with the left downstairs and upstairs. Firat should have better stamina. And Herelius usually only throws one punch at a time in contrast to Firat that repeatedly throws combinations inside. I see Firat by UD by walking Herelius down and outworking him on the inside.
Jeannine Garside +1000 - Small
I agree with Quanah's analysis.
Anges Adjaho + 270 - Medium
Speed kills and mentally I think Adjaho should be more focused coming off a fight he could of won if not for his costly decision to try to get a point deduction from his opponent.
A.Adjaho points handicap +17? -115 - Small
Also, I think all of these fights go over including Hopkins Vs the Greek.
Good Luck Guys!

watched herelius vs sosnowski and monrose and wasn`t super impressed either...sos was the bigger man and that stoppage was horseshit,but,herelius did not look good,imo...maybe it was the added weight?
guys like this benefit greatly from fighting mediocre european opposition almost exclusively at home....
as quanah said,if not for age and inactivity,arslan would be worth the gamble....but given those issues,i`m going to play it somewhere between smallish and medium smallish......
losing to guillermo jones is no disgrace...and jones,brudov,virgil hill and drizd are pretty much all better than most everyone herelius` has fought...
it`s in germany...if arslan is half the guy he was and doesn`t quit,he should have a real shot at winning this...
can`t step out on this,but it`s worth a small play...

Travis Walker fight from Australia - Wednesday.
Terrible stoppage - what a joke.

What blatant HORSESHIT! Walker was in trouble but the other guy was on the brink of collapse several times. If you take a look at the ref, you can tell that he was looking to stop it when ever Walker got buzzed. BOTH fighters were gassed. The guy may very well have been able to stop Walker but it was 50/50 on who would have won that. That being said, Walker has about the worst stamina I've ever seen in a fighter. His skills aren't bad but he's a 4 rd fighter at best. He should call out the Bean.
bad stoppage...this video picked up between rds 2 and 3 and both guys looked in dire need of an iron lung....
wonder if that was outside in heat and humidity?...could their stamina be that bad after 2 rds?..

I bet a good bit on Firat after viewing the Frenchman in action or should I say inaction.
Good luck boys!!! :toast:
I am getting soooo sick of watching shite like this.
Walker batters him from pillar to post in round 3.
Continues knocking the shit out of him for most of round 4, the hometown fighter flurries for 5 seconds and hits fuck all and the ref jumps in???
Where the Fuck was his compassion when the hometown fighter was getting his brain scrambled!!
Oh I forgot, that wasn't in the script.
Fukin sickening.
If this Garside fight was won on the most beautiful body's, I think Garside would win. She is a little ball of lady muscle!!!
I would agree, Menzer having trouble with the southpaw stance, garside landed some nice shots, right hooks, straight lefts..
