1)michael stewart vs terron millett.....like stewart laying -200 over millett...stewart is 32-1 and is a very slick boxer....millett has turned into a trial horse and has been beaten recently by gatti(blow-out) and ricardo williams(easily outboxed)...he`s very easy to hit and has taken some pretty severe beatings in some recent bouts...i expect a very quick stewart to be able to hit and not be hit by slowish,upright millett......looking through millett`s record,he has NEVER beaten any top YOUNG guys in their prime......was champ when the division was extremely weak....this is sort of a step-up vs millett,but millett has regressed so much recently.it`s not a big step-up...a boxing lesson...
2)hector camacho jr vs sebastian valdez.....like camacho jr-220 vs a decent valdez....camacho jr had career wake-up calls in the jesse leija debacle and a loss to tough omar weis.....he has had 2 bouts since the loss and knows that another loss will pretty much derail his career...valdez beat a decent but inconsistent golden johnson but,is stepping way up in class here....he has also been stopped several times and does not punch very hard(18-4 w/7k.o.`s).......i don`t think he`s going to outbox a focused camacho who has so much riding on his next few fights....
3)lesser play-omar weis vs emanuel augustus.....laying -200 on weis(if you wait,you may get a better number)....augustus(burton)is the darling of the espn2 crew(atlas and kellerman)because of his gatti-ward mentality in bouts...he is always in tough bouts and always takes a good deal of punishment....he usually does just enough to lose vs better fighters......he recently beat manuel vilches(who has a win over weis)....i know because this will be on espn2,we will be fighting kellerman and atlas coming all over themselves praising augustus....and i believe that the judges could be swayed a little because auagustus has been elevated to cult hero status by these guys...but i think weis is a tough,clever boxer who will almost certainly will jump out to a decent lead vs a slow starting augustus...it`s towards the end of the bout when augustus puts on his usual rally and the announcers go ballistic that worries me some...that is why i`m stepping back a little...weis has a win over camacho jr and has fought tough vs zab judah...he is a better fighter than augustus....going small because of all the peripheral b.s.....
hate laying wood(although they are reasonable lines).....don`t usually go much higher than these odds...
i like my scott harrison-wayne mccollough props and wagers in another thread.......may also take a small shot with rafael marquez vs tim austin at +200....marquez is on a roll...just the bloodline(brother of juan manuel marquez) is enough for me to take 2-1.....austin is very tough,but he has not been in with what i`d call super tough guys...i know the division is not strong,but,marquez will be very difficult...his destruction of "too sharp" johnson shows that he can deal with southpaws.....g.l.
