I hope you guys don't mind me starting this small thread.

There is Frank Maloney card in Dublin where I belive overs might be of certain value, so I wouldn't like them going under the radar.

Main event is Rendall Munroe-Fabrizio Trotta for European super bantamweight title. Both fighters KO record is under 50% so I see over 10 for 1.83 as a value bet.
Munroe to win is 1.03, but to win on points is 2. I found this odd because most of Munroes stoppage wins (7 in 17 fights) were against fighters with loosing records
and Trotta has never been stoped (19 fights). I plan to hit this large.

Supporting act is Craig Watson-Adnan Amar for Commonwealth welterweight title. Both fighters are England based but Watson is F. Maloneys boy so he will feel "at
home". Watson is favoured (1.36) as he danced with better company (last win over M.Hatton) but it seems it will be compettive fight. Here you can se glimps of both fighters:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic0TjUJmml0 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-63JLd5Ij_4.
Again, both fighters KO ratio is well below 50% (4of15 and 6of23) so 1.5 for over 10 and 1.75 for going full route looks tempthing. Having said that, both fighters have found their punch in second part of their careers so I'm still thinking about this one.

start a thread anytime you want bro...love to talk these out with you guys...particularly the local weekday cards

I'm thinking these two fights over myself

I've seen Munroe...slick guy...not a lot of pop...I like your play a lot

The other fight might be a stay away for me

Watson should win, but I know nothing about the other guy. I'm a little gunshy after the K9 knockout Saturday.

Also an Italian card Friday of some interest.

Paolo Vidoz vs Matt Skelton (heavyweights)
Gianluca Branco vs Juho Tollpola (junior welterweight)

good luck

here's a link with more info on the Dublin card:

Not at all old dirty!

I think its good to have a thread out early.

Apparantly its very tough to get some info or even footage onTrotta or Munroe...apparently there is an Italian artist with the same name... :142smilie

I didnt find too much on Trotta (the boxer) except his record.

As for a boxrec wager, this seems to be a decent bet...but Munroe has won some ref stoppages lately that you wouldnt have expected from him...

The Italian card looks prety decent actually.

If Vidoz is in good shape, I think he might be worth a shot...looks to me like a competetive 12rounder...but its in Italy...so Skelton really needs a ko.

I saw that Branco is a huge favorit over Juho Tolppola...Branco recently beat Lynes who won a wide decision over Tolpolla just before he lost to Branco...but still at the age of 38 Tolpolla might be worth a shot @+1250.

Watson-Amar fight is off....too bad....

 

[olddirtyfighter]

Yeah, too bad.

Books added Jason Booth-Sean Hughes bantamweight fight from the same card. They have it as a 50:50 fight. Booth seams to be much better fighter, but is older and smaller. Looks like pass fight.
But here is nice finish of Hughes rematch with Pickering

 

[Ghost Kid]

I don't have the Booth-Hughes fight at my books

but I took the Munroe fight to go over 9.5 rounds

Good luck all

 

[olddirtyfighter]

I took it to go over 10.
Graham is on the fence with this one http://www.fightwriter.com/?q=node/2012
Hopefully they don't call Trotta "iron jawed" for nothing.
And hopefully Munroe will not use body attack.

 

[olddirtyfighter]

Booth just became favorite in all my books that offer that fight (sky, bet-at-home) except one (bwin).
So I decided to put something on him.

 

[gardenweasel]

odf...i took your advice on the trotta over and parlayed it small with vidoz in italy.....got +1.50 ....

if i get sunk it`ll prolly be vidoz getting ktfo.....

thanks for posting...

 

[olddirtyfighter]

good luck weasel

3-0 booth, things look good so far

 

[olddirtyfighter]

5-1 booth

 

[Ghost Kid]

Booth winning easy

[Ghost Kid]

Hughes down in the 10th

almost over

.....

the corner stops the fight !

congrats ODF !

 

[olddirtyfighter]

[olddirtyfighter]

another example of fighter having problems after going down in weight

munroe ... take it easy

 

[Ghost Kid]

Munroe-Trotta underway

end of rnd 1

I thought Trotta looked good that round !

is another -4500 fav going to go down?

 

[Ghost Kid]

end of round 2

not a bad little fight for a Thursday afternoon!

 

[olddirtyfighter]

don't like the fact that monroe is landing a lot punches to the italian body

 

[Ghost Kid]

end of 3

my guess (unfortunately) is that it will not go 9.5

I agree with you old dirty

Munroe starting to land hard body shots
