VERY GOOD NEWS. I called one of the books and they said they would go by the dec that the commisssion ultimately declared...that made me quite nervous. We deserved a W but Happy with a NC.

For those of us on Alfaro, he won in Nicaragua tonight:
http://www.laprensa.com.ni/archivo/2009/febrero/14/noticias/deportes/
"In the seventh assault, Alfaro decided to use their hooks to send again a Velasquez canvas, ending the bout at 1:02 minutes of the round started. In this way, Alfaro improved to 22-5 his achievements, with 20 nocauts while Velasquez worsened to 12-4."

Just watched the fight. In other venues this could very well have been a dq. Reyes was going to win this affair but the hit behind the head was a bit blatant IMO. This gambler is more than happy with the NC call.:toast:
guess i`ll be the sucker and take the bait on the over in cintron/martinez at -140.....:shrug:
although,looking at the montage of pictures of the weigh-in at fightnews,i thought cintron looked a tad soft...maybe it was because he looked so pale...he did have to lose 1/2 pound which is a little odd considering he`s coming up in weight...

I added more to aktas/frenois over....the line has really moved from my opening max bet @-225. I have quite a bit on it and purely boxrec but cant see a ko here.
I'm down a few bucks losing early in the week in Japan and the over on robinson last night...won a couple bucks on mundine. I'm still counting my lucky stars to a degree for Reyes not getting dqd. That would have hurt and been a huge set back.

Could have been a simple mistake he took it off quick enough. Cintron still has to cut to make 154 though. He walked into the ring at 160 a couple times when he was making 147 so who knows what he walks around at.
you like cintron here,mayorga?...curious to hear your opinion...thanks...

I also have a little dough on Cruz in France today...the results should be coming up w/in the next 90 mins...these 2 fights will make or break the wkend.

Had some shopping to do. I don't like Cintron a ton I guess, I just like the number now. I understand betting Martinez early though. When you really think about it, Martinez hasn't beaten very good opposition and I don't think has faced a puncher. On the other hand I read somewhere (it could have been here), Cintron don't like fighting lefties. Regardless when a guy starts off at +115 or whatever he strted at and you have a chance of getting +170 you take it. It's a small play for me though.

totally understand....the number has moved a bit....
i played martinez a little harder than average(nothing like the dlh debacle...i`m saving that distinction for diego sanchez
)...but i am considering a small hedge on cintron inside at almost +240.......imo,beating bunema isn`t enough to validate a large wager on martinez(as impressive as it was)...
martinez has been down several times,so,this is sort of uncharted terroitory for both men(kermy at 154...martinez fighting at this level)...
martinez can`t make the big mistake...i still like him a bit at -145....and i`d prefer he stay standing through the 8th..
actually,it`s all a moot point,though...it`s diego sanchez or nothing for me...the rest is peanuts...:shrug:
nice pick weepaul!
im re-buying nate at -150, heard he was 144lbs today. i still think their is a gap in class between the two of them, maybe he did train hard but his body gave up on him, it happens. i just cant get over the experience and tecnical advantages, and nate knows he absolutely MUST look good tonight.

My big bets tonight are
Angulo-Rivera under 9.5
Martinez to beat Cintron (probably with a Cintron ITD hedge....good advice weasel)
I think Martinez is going to destroy Kermit personally
and I will be very surprised if Cosme can handle the Angulo pressure for 10 rounds
I think Nate will win this fight....I think he is just a level above Funeka
but NO PLAY for me there...I'll focus on the other two fights
good luck guys....any word on Woods-Muriqui?

i listened to a radio stream, it sounds like muriqi put out a pathetic performance and was nearly shut out.
dreadful start to the weekend for me.

lopsided ud for woods. sounds like muriqi was gassed after 7 rounds
unsurprisingly, buddy mcgirt was in his corner.
