Julio Cesar Dominguez/Danny Green UNDER 7? -145

Looks good to me

gl bl

 

[punchmaster]

Good to see our favorite boxer, cruiserweight BJ Flores stepping it up against longtime middleweight/supermiddle Epifanio Mendoza. Way to keep impressing BJ

 

[Ghost Kid]

Mendoza has lost 3 of his last 4 and has never fought above 178. What a challenge for Blow Job Flores.

This guy makes me sick. Press release after press release.

Next he is gonna call out Terry Norris or Courtney Burton.

BJ......Y O U S U C K

 

[crow]

Took a parlay Green + the over for Jones JR/ Lacy for -130.

[Ghost Kid]

How can Flores seriously fight this guy?
Flores weighed 199 for his last bout. Blow Job walks around WAY above 200.

Mendoza weighed 169 for his last fight ! A pound above super middle ! I mean this is so fuking crazy.

This guy is a straight up embarrassment to the sport.
TOTAL FRAUD.

My plays so far...

My plays so far...

Jose Reyes -120 - Large
Antonio Pitalua looks slow and long in the tooth. Also, 135 is not a good weight class for Pitalua anymore. I like Reye's speed and skills here to win a UD. Plus, Reyes should have extra motivation coming off the controversial DQ loss in his last fight.

Brian Minto vs. Donnell Holmes Under 9.5-115- Medium
Minto's been training with Roach for 6 weeks and is gotten great sparring at Freddie's gym. Freddie said he watched the tapes on Holmes and sees Minto knocking him out. Donnell Holmes has no experience at the A and B level. He has mainly been fighting C and D level opponents and Don King and Gary Shaw don't want to promote him anymore.

Parlay Minto-500 Litzau-150 Donaire-650 (+130)-Medium
Litzau is the toughest fight of the three, but he has all the advantages: size, speed, and power. Jason's chin is poor, but Kimbrough does not have power and has an amateur points scoring style that Litzau should be able to beat.

Good Luck Guys!

I like Reyes bet a lot. I think he will outbox Pitalua, maybe even stop him late. Even if Pitalua occasionally land something, Reyes unlike Cruz has a great chin.

I took REYES at -175
Pitalua is Poop

I hate myself for even considering this, but I am thinking about BJ under 6.5
This is basically a fixed fight for this idiot
I can't imagine Mendoza giving much of an effort in there

Cushy spot on canvas. Fall.

I don't know. Mendoza gave quite an effort against Lacy, who definitely hits harder than BJ even taking the weight difference into account. Mendoza's a crude aggressor, so I can see BJ comfortably boxing to another points win.

It is a no play for me but i was actually thinking about taking the over because Mendoza is awkward and BJ doesn't really pack a punch. But I think you are right that BJ's people picked a smaller opponent that they think they can ko and that has shown stamina problems in the past. Also, BJ might not fight his usually boring boxer style since he knows he is there to impress. He might go for the knockout since just winning isn't enough for him at this point for this fight. Tough call either way.

 

[Zerwas]

Bolanos is quite a big underdog against Harris (+400).
Harris with his chin seems to be primed for an upset...he was down 2 times against a guy with a 7-4 record. obviously Bolanos is not a great fighter; he just recently moved up and on top of that he hasnt scored a ko in quite some time (albeit against fairly good opposition).
I'm curious to see the weigh in pics, to see how he carries the weight.

I'm almost tempted to go with Concepcion, the one who is fighting Luevano, (Donaire should win his fight), but he's kind of small and not very active. maybe the over!? :shrug:

Jones like Hopkins and Mosley looked really good in his last fight, maybe I'm a bit too suspicious, but it makes you wonder. Lacy, as it has been pointed out, has turnred into a plodder. IMO Graham is spot on, when he says that Jones might get a ref stoppage, if Lacy continues to block shots with his head.

[Romi]

I'm on Litz-150, reyes -150 and Donaire -650. Litz doesnt win at the world class level but he shouldnt have much to worry about from Kimbrough (7 kos) IMO. Reyes wins as long as he stays on his feet and doesn't do anything stupid in there. Donaire was a bargain at -650. Ill be more than shocked to see him lose. I'm considering Minto but was wondering if ANYBODY ever saw Holmes fight and/or if there is any footage on the guy. A good B level boxer can get by Minto but doubt if Holmes qualifies. RJ v Lacy = Shot v Shotter. I think RJ wins a comfortable dec and he'll clown for the crowd as if he's actually fighting somebody. Good luck!

 

[Romi]

I added minto straight up -550. I havent seen Holmes but I see nothing on his ledger that indicates he can deal with minto. Minto has been training under Roach for this one and feels as if he has had the best preparation for his career. Minto is certainly not an A class fighter...perhaps a B- or even C+ but he can hold his own and I would be surprised if he lets this glorified "unbeaten" club fighter take him. Evan is on the under and I tend to agree that he'll probably get Holmes out of there but I opted for the wager on the win. Good luck!
