First of all I dont understand how some of you guys had so much confidence with Cintron when A) He was fighting a guy who destroyed him a couple of years ago and B) Considering how he looked against Feliciano in his last fight. He barely survived Jessie Feliciano.
First of all I didn't have that much confidence in Cintron, had a very small play on him at +275 as the line seemed too high.
Cintron was on route to stopping Feliciano early in the fight until he broke his right hand, his power hand btw. He fought Feliciano with one hand for several rounds before stopping him late, very impressive. In the first fight with Marg, Cintron was cut badly on the eyelid and he was clearly distracted by it. Cintron is technically the better fighter of the two, throws straighter punches, can box when he wants to, very athletic. He was the one who asked for this fight, like he knew something we didn't. Cintron just doesn't have the heart or chin to hang with a pressure guy with some pop. Also, Margarito is not that great of a fighter, he lost to Daniel Santos twice, would've lost to Clottey a while back but Clottey broke his right hand early in a fight he was easily winning, Marg lost to Paul Williams who was later dominated by Quintana who was destroyed by Cotto. My play on Cintron was a small one based on the high odds and the fact that Marg is definitly beatable, I had much more riding on the Under 9.5 +125 anyway
Box, I think Mosely is a very good fighter and I've always like him. But to call him one of the best fighters of our generation is simply not accurate. With the exception of De La Hoya he just can not win the big fights.
Not accurate in your opinion, but yours doesn't count any more than mine. You must have been locked up when Mosley was destroying everyone at 135 and easily at the top of the pfp list. You have to look at fighters when they were in their prime fighting at their natural weight, and that was 135 for Mosley. Then he skipped 140 completely and went up to 147 where he dominated until meating his worst style match-up in Vernon Forrest. Anyway, two wins over DLH after stepping way up in weight, and then a very close loss to Wright at 154 which is way too high for Mosley. Two wins over Vargas...again at 154. Btw, Mosely was definitly coming on down the stretch against Cotto, a fight he lost by a very close margin...at 36 yrs old, against a much younger champion who is also one the best fighters of MY generation
When are people going to step up and quit allowing these incompetent or corrupt judges work these fights? SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE! Its a disgrace what the did to Glen Johnson last night.
I thought the fight was pretty close and so did everyone else I've talked to, most had the fight even or within a couple rounds. Dawson was the champion and they were fighting under his promotion, Johnson had to win convincingly to get the decision, and nobody I know thinks he did that. I admit the 116-112 scores were a little wide but they were consistent, and the fight always looks different on television, all three judges have the same score proves they were all watching the same fight, with a much better view than we had
Sorry but Woods is not a good fighter. The guy is garbage.
I had a little on Woods at +135 due to Tarver looking like absolute garbage over his last few fights. Thought about scalping when Tarver hit -105 but decided to let it ride. The Over 11.5 was my big play on that fight, worked out well
I just wrapped up the most profitable week I've had in boxing since I started betting 6 years ago. Pulled in $2500, but the Dawson fight probably took a few years off my life. Like Romi said, I had to turn it off going into the last few rounds and checked the results later. Taped those last few rounds and watched them later...stress free
