The next British Heavyweight World Champion

[gavpowell]

He had another gift before PDL as well, can't remember the name - the guy took the fight at the last minute and completely outworked Broner, who has always been lazy. Shortly afterwards, he fought William Kickett, who proved Broner really didn't like inside fighting, but wasn't good enough to beat him.

As to scoring, if a guy lands 50 shots to the other guy's 10, I'd score it to the first guy on activity - provided they were proper shots, no Audley-style "Don't-hit-me punches"

Lucky? I had that one wide for AB... :/ actually fought he could have forced the stoppage if he stepped on it.

I guess it's all about what you like... I thought AB vs PDL had by far the more crisper counter punching with PDL barely landing anything clean despite throwing way way more... PDL's volume wasn't eye catching enough for me... Depends what you like when you score a fight I guess?

If a fighter throws 100 in a round and only 10 connect... It might look exciting to the crowd but in my opinion it's not as impressive as a guy who lands 10 from 20.

I will watch the fight again tomorrow morning though as it has been a while...

I was betting on the leap from 135 to 147 being too much for a low output fighter to beat Paulie.

I think Broner has an amazing skill set... He's just not a welterweight for sure... All this ballooning up in between fights has ruined and shortened his career at the top level.

Interesting, because I don't. He was very lucky to get a win vs Ponce De Leon, and subsequently showed himself to be very lacking in a lot of ways - couldn't cope with inside fighters, couldn't fight on the back foot,m poor defence, never used his jab. He's mediocre at best.

[pottr]

Yeah, he did. Lost every other round of that fight too.

There was nothing before or since to suggest that AB's power would carry up to Welter.

I thought Paulie would considerably outwork him and get the decision. I was wrong.

He caught showtime and plonked him on his arse in the last round recently

I hear you although Paulie couldn't knock the skin off a rice pudding so i still take Broner

Have you watched the fight? I watched it live and fought Paulie won... Scored it back the next day as a draw so I wasn't too annoyed...

I presume you were betting on Broner being a hype-job rather than Malignaggi being a truly world-class fighter?

There are still good bets out there what the bookies miss... I had £300+ back off a cheeky £30 on Carson Jones to knock out Brian Rose a few months ago... That was an awful stoppage, mind you.

Yes mate but i meant pre fight

I've won some silly money on boxing before...

Lost some too though... Dropped 400 on Paulie to beat Broner and lost that...

Did win just under 3k on Wlad beating Povetkin via UD

£400 on Paulie to beat Broner was a brave bet

[GeordieDS]

Can't seem to edit previous post. Grr.

With Hatton-Pacquiao, I said I was worried about whether Pacquiao's power transferred up with him, and that if it did, Hatton was in trouble. Not only did Manny's power transfer up, Hatton fought like an absolute moron, just marching straight into Pacquiao's fists.

Even if Ricky had of been at his best he was still going to get annihilated that night, he would have been battered a lot quicker off Floyd if Floyd didn't spend the night running away

[GeordieDS]

Yeah, I won somewhere in the region of 300 quid on Hatton-Tszyu, from something like a £10 stake. I hardly ever bet after that - it wiped out the 150 I lost on "Tyson KO Lewis 8" and I was absolutely delighted. These days, I find the opening bell goes and I think "Oh, I should've had a bet on this."

I only bet if the bookies get the price all wrong,unfortunately they're employing better odds compilers.
If Tyson was going to knock out Lewis it would have had to be in the first three rounds,after that it was always going to be Lewis bashing the bully up

£1650

All I could afford to lose
