Boxing 8/8 - 8/9

[nj]

i prefer oubaali in this fight tonight. I thought his fight with theophane was a war, and i have a bit of respect for theophane.

i'm glad the line is low enough to grab now.

but i certainly understand the fernandez support. he is the naturally bigger guy and a tough customer (it seems).

still my pick is oubaali.

good luck to all.

i dont know anything about these guys, im glad to hear some voices for the other side. i put ali -195 in a parlay at with valuev over and joan guzman, so it turns out ok either way.

the man's picks have a big impact on the line, the line has never moved against me when i tail his plays early. it makes for nice scalps/hedges

im considering playing ishmail arvin only because his name is ishmail. it sounds lucky.

the man gives Fernandez a great shot against Ali Baba, immediately taking him at +450 and posting it.

Thought id let you guys know, the line has been dropping steadily. I just caught +375, now its +325.

Hey Brother,

I posted this line on post 9 of this thread at +700.

I am glad I don't need to wait on "The Man's" picks :shrug:

I got Ali @-175. That line dropped like a bad habit once Evan came out with the upset pick. It's already moved to -350 so I have the scalp option. I hope graham comes out w/something on these guys to indicate how this may play out. Evan was primarily basing his pick on the value.

I also took cloud -270 and -300. Again I know little about this guy but he loves to fight and he loves it when a fighter comes at him. JG is VERY tough in the Margarito fashion but he's not overly talented. He doesn't use his height to his advant like he should and he brawls a little too much. @32, he showing slight signs of wear and tear. If Tavaris is the real deal then he should prevail. I just wish it were a 10 rder instead of 12. Looks like an excellent FNF main event and I have the night off !!!

ouch! I actually read this thread fully a few days ago but didn't remember it, I thought the lines just opened this morning, so nobody else would have it up. My bad. I remember after reading your post I jumped to the UFC Aug. 9 thread to check it out.

Congrats on +700, that's an awesome line. I didn't mean to brush off your opinion as inferior to the man, sorry if it seemed that way, I thought the line was fresh and didn't review the thread.

And of course the name "the man" is only a means of identifying him stemming from early "my man" references, not in the top-dog sense.

Tarvetrius Cloud is supposed to be very tough and was an Olympic alternate for '04 if i remember right. Good luck on your bets.

how does the over/under look to you guys

im thinking the over 7.5, +130?

 

[Ghost Kid]

tough call on the over/under

i think its set about right

oubaali is a tough guy...never been stopped...he will be there at the end

i don't know if fernandez will

it concerns me that he has been stopped 3 times

BUT fernandez, tonight, IS the bigger guy

I think Oubaali wears him down in 9 or 10

anyone know much about Sosnowski? now would be the time to take him if hes good.


edit - thanks ghost kid

 

[Ghost Kid]

Zuri has been KO'ed a lot

and took the fight this week

never seen Sosnowski but I am playing him

the promoter has Sosnowski so that should help

No worries mate. I am not trying to give you shit or anything. I was just pointing out that the line was much better at the start of the week but nobody seemed to notice.

Good luck to us all.

ghost kid - the rounds line you mentioned of cloud/gonalez is up: over 9.5 -160

good call on sosnowski, line jumped to -425, i caught him in a small parlay at -310.

 

[nj]

not at all bro don't apologize lol, that's not how i meant it. sos just let zuri implement a john ruiz style and put up no resistance. and plus, no matter what happened in the ring we wouldnt have won, the judges probably werent even in the building.

we caught him -310 and had +365 available, i didnt hedge it. white heavyweights are always a question mark.

fernandez is putting up a great fight at +375

 

[gardenweasel]

oubaali`s a little buzzsaw....he`s a good deal smaller but he`s makin` up for it with the low blows.....


ouch!,,,,

 

[armageto]

Zuri....Zuri....Zuri...Zuri..............

I had it 78-74 for Lawrence, and won a few bucks from it. I'm glad to see that he won. He's a good guy and needed a good win. To top it off, my boy's stock just went up a little as well, with the Lawrence win!!

 

[Ghost Kid]

congrats armageto

good call on the big dog...i didn't think he could pull it off

your scorecard is way more reasonable !

 

[gardenweasel]

nate campbell is an excellent color commentator...

really...
