Napes Boxing Thread

[marzwoody]

Seeing a lot of love for Hopkins around. Making me think twice about how I want to play this one. Personally think Kovalev could/will be the first to finish him. But I suppose if Bernard does his usual he could work a decision. Should be interesting.

He's a master boxer. if Kovalev cant get a KO, i think Bernard wins by dec 80% of the time.

[Indeep]

It seems like Kovalev should walk right through the Alien, but Hopkins will probably turn it into a hug fest, and eek out a decision. If he starts getting clubbed, I'm sure he will feign injury. Its either a quick Kovalev KO or a dance fest with the Alien winning on points.

I like that. You might as well get plus odds if you like him, and that's his best chance to win, by early KO.

Hopkins fight over 9.5 -140
dont like chalk at all but looks to be good value

Krusher cruises

50 year old Alien gets what's been coming for a while....a date with father time.

If the judges give him a decision for dancing and hugging and cheating/faking an injury I will kill myself.

B-Hop via decision is the play. What would you like inscribed on your tombstone?

[Ron_Paul_2012]

Oh NOOOOOO! Amir Mansour just KO Fred Cassi. Fred Cassi is NOT getting up! He's NOT moving! He's about to be carried out on a stretcher with an oxygen mask!

[Ron_Paul_2012]

Amir Mansour's nickname is Hardcore! No kidding!

Stick to picking -500 favorite, c0cksucker.

Your tombstone should read IDIOT WHO BET AGAINST THE KRUSHER

Napes or anyone else that's on this - what's your take on this Krubat Pulav dude fighting Wladimir Klitschko this Saturday night?

Pulav is a big and tall dude that is undefeated...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubrat_Pulev

Does he have a shot at +485 in this one????..

Props - fight will not go the distance -190 looks like a solid play from what I'm reading and seeing..

[Napes21]

I can't bring myself to watch Klitschko fight random fighter X, Y or Z - think the last fight of his I saw was David Haye many years ago - never seen Pulev either - would defer to someone else on here if anyone has some thoughts. Will probably watch this fight as its on HBO. Eyeball test - - Klitschko wins. Corrupt boxing storyline test - Klitschko wins setting up biggest potential HW fight in a long time between winner of Stiverne and Wilder if they can ever get that fight booked. But none of the above has anything to do with any real form of handicapping so I would defer to a better boxing fan than me.

[marzwoody]

Why isn't that Deontay Wilder guy fighting Klitschko? boxing is so messed up.

[Indeep]

Any thoughts on Chris Algieri/Manny Pacquiao? I was thinking of going with the over, since Manny hasn't knocked anyone out in years, and if Provodnikoff couldn't knock out Chris, than he must have a pretty good chin..... I'd love to see Chris outbox the Pacman and pull an upset, but with the mega fight with Mayweather looming in the background, I doubt he'd get the decision even if he won.

[Napes21]

Algieri got dropped twice in the first by Provo before dancing his way to a close decision - he is going to have a 5 inch reach advantage on Manny or thereabouts - haven't seen lines on over/under or props yet. Could be a closer fight than the line suggests if Manny can't find his chin as Algieri can definitely pitter-patter his way to accumulating points but agree that WBO probably stacks the deck against him if it hits the judges.

[Napes21]

JoJo Diaz should probably crush another can tonight on FS1 - I appreciate him fighting every two months but unfortunately all of these lines are unplayable

B-Hop via U Decision @ big plus odds wasn't a bad play Plucky. Furthermore, I don't see your Kovalev play. Nice try though.

[mirinquads]

He got schooled, it was a terrible play, whore. Who cares though, its not like youre betting for real.

Still don't see your Kovalev play. That's the bottom line sonny boy.

The bottom line is that you made a shit play, and all your air is gone.

I'm done showing my plays to you, like in the last UFC thread where i ran you off. Why waste time on a lowlife loser such as your self?

Ran me off? What are you on? You been sniffing glue again Plucky? I crushed last UFC event. The bottom line is that you never made a play on Kovalev. Well I now consider this matter closed. I won. You lost. Cheers!

[mirinquads]

So you think that by making a bad losing bet, and me not betting the fight, that you won? I know you're stupid Ronald Mcdonald, but this is sad, even for you.

Now the matter is closed. I won't be responding to your senile ass any more.

[Napes21]

Any diehards on here have any insight on Antonio DeMarco? Fighting Jessie Vargas on Pacquiao undercard. I've seen Vargas before and don't find him all that impressive and am contemplating "taking a stab on the dog and seeing what sticks".

[Indeep]

Alright what's the consensus wager for Pacquiao/Algeri? I was thinking taking the over 9.5 rounds.

[Vaughany]

Take Algeri, I read that's he's excited and motivated and on a win-streak. the perfect Jibbbehh tri-fecta

[NunyaBidness]

Also, he has hands in case you haven't watched tape.

He's also a wrestler - quadfecta

[mirinquads]

Being a former kickboxer, i'm sure he will come in with an effective kicking strategy. Probably has the hog advantage also, considering the height and race advantages.

Not sure about that last one:

oh shiit yeah. Apparently he can throw them as well

[Jim_Gunn]

I'm a regular MMA bettor who's been watching boxing a little more lately. I like the odds for this bet since I believe most fans are predicting a Pacman KO/TKO or Pacman by dominant decision over Algieri in the worst case:

Pacquiao wins by KO (incl. TKO or DQ) or Unanimous Decision (-311) $311.00 for $100.00

I was gonna bet big on Demarco but the news about his 13 year old sister having cancer is pulling me off quite a bit. Im still doing it tho but way smaller.
Ill send you a pm in the morning with more info amigo

[Vaughany]
