have posted some plays in b.l.`s threads...college foots over until bowl time.....see a few worth a wager or two.....might as well throw `em out there.....
1)braithwaite/pineda under 7 rounds(-135)....pineda?....how`d he get here?.....this guy was knocked out by john lennox lewis....whom i always thought was a middleweight to super middleweight............the same john lennox lewis that was recently k.o.`ed by kurt`s boy(a boxing manager acquaintance of mine....he has cory spinks and travis simms going this weekend) travis simms at light middleweight?????...it may mean that pineda may not be a legit cruiser.......and all 3 losses are by k.o. to guys that can`t hold braithwaite`s jock...it`s been awhile since braithwaite hasn`t stopped an opponent(14 fights)...tall lefty...enormously strong...and i don`t think pineda is a boxer...he`s predicting a 1st round k.o. for himself....he has 15 k.o.`s in 17 wins...and all 3 losses were by k.o....
and looking at pineda`s string of wins to get here....the competition was laughable.....set-up?....braithwaite`s a beast....the only way this goes 7 is if braithwaite has money on the over(i`m sure i just jinxed myself)....
2)mike anchondo/goyo vargas over 9.5 rds(-200)....thursday on hbo latino......heavy odds.....and i see a very competitive fight...anchondo could be an up and coming star..he`s very good....quick and can punch.....vargas is still tough as nails.....and doesn`t get stopped...has fought numerous champions....and looked absolutely great vs gary balleto in his last outing...
i see what might be the fight of the weekend here...and i don`t see anybody going anywhere short of a cut....if you can see this one,do it....a potentially super bout.....i`m a little shocked that anchondo is taking this chance.....
3)small play on felix machado(+150) getting his super fly belt back from luis perez....perez won a split decision from machado last time out....the deciding vote was 114-113 for perez and machado had 1 point deducted for low blows....and also had a closed eye from a head butt for a good portion of the fight...
machado`s losses were a stoppage in his first pro fight...a split decision to a 60-6 thai fighter IN thailand...a fight in which he had the guy down and almost out more than once.. ...a d/q to contender adonis cruz and the split loss due to low blow to perez.... he has wins over mauricio pastrana...martin castillo and julio gamboa......
perez has fought outside of nicaragua twice...his split win over machado and a loss to vernie torres.....
the over 11.5 also looks good but at -300 and with the potential for headbutts,i`m a little leery....
..
...i have the older guy,but,i think machado is the better guy... it should be close....if these odds were pick`em,not sure i`d bother....but at +150,it`s a decent value.....both are don king "owned"...so hopefully the fix won`t be in....
