kessler -215 over mundine

[Spreadking]

anybody else playing this fight. not sure when it is going off. either Tuesday or Wednesday morning US time.

Mundine ran like a girl vs Siaca. Siaca ended up running in circles because he couldn't do anything with Kessler. I think Kessler wears Mundine down late and stops him.

I am playing Kessler more than likely.

i read that kessler had a back injury that`s curtailed his training...word is he looked very slow in training camp..

still,my first inclination was kessler....he`s a solid super middle with height and power advantages...

i parlayed him with timo hoffman... at -175......hoffman at -170 at 5 dimes...getting almost exactly 1.5 for 1....

damn,those lines jumped pretty quickly...-205 and -215 now....

somebody had hot pants..

like `em both...not crazy about laying 2-1,to be honest...

best of luck...

If Kessler is slow, that is a bad thing against speedy Mundine. I still think he takes him out with one right hand. just for fun. should be interesting then. thanks for the inside info.

 

[gardenweasel]

i think he`s better than mundine,also...

my guess is that after a few rounds,mundine will be on his bike...

g.l.

One thing to remember when capping this fight...

Mundine was recovering from a sprained ankle when he fought Siacca. He almost pulled out of the fight b/c of it, but decided to go ahead. His ankle was heavily taped for that fight and it was reported that Mundine cringed in pain throughout due to sudden movements and turns of the ankle.

With the results of Mundine-Siacca and Siacca-Kessler it seems logical to play Kessler here. But since Mundine's game is speed, I have to think the bum ankle played a role in the fight. Siacca said after the fight that he was very suprised by Mundines handspeed and that he thought the fight could have gone either way. Its fair to say that Mundine might have won on a healthy ankle.

I want to play Keesler here, but with Mundine's handspeed, Kessler's questionable back/training, and the location of the fight, I'm having a hard time laying the wood.

here`s a good picture...maybe it`s the angle,but,kessler looks like a very big super middleweight...

i`ve heard he`s a talented fighter...

hope that back`s o.k....

btw...i agree laying over 2-1 on foreign soil vs a potential bicyclist like mundine is a bit much...

chances are that any decisions go mundine`s way....

i parlayed it...and getting 1.5 for one allows a hedge....that is,if behemoth hoffman beats little sprott....

after fighting krasniqi to a draw,i`d think he could just be to big for sprott....plus,you have to figure that unless he gets drubbed,he`ll get the benfit of the doubt in the fatherland...

they`ve split home and home...let`s hope hoffman holds serve..

but,i`ve been burned in germany before...lol

g.l.,guys..

It's not the angle, Kessler is all around bigger than Mundine. What will decide the fight is if Kessler can take a punch. I have seen him a few times and he simply has not been hit hard (that includes the Siaca fight), if Kessler takes a good punch Mundine losses. He won;t be able to avoid Kessler for 12 rounds unless Mundine hurts him. Why? Because Kessler is bigger strong and while he's not as quick as Mundine, he does have quick hands.

picked up .15 unit on Kessler, had to risk about .34
i wasn't that for sure. but he needs to face the winner of Calzaghe/Lacy if it comes off. some good fights at 168 to be made.

 

[gardenweasel]

the guy`s a true threat to calzaghe....if joe`s slipped even a little...

i`ll take it....i re-parred him with hoffman vs vidoz....and won the original par as a flat...at much reduced odds...

beats a sharp stick in the eye....

congrats to kessler bettors...
