Hougigo's boxing/MMA picks

hougigo · 09-14-13, 07:11 AM

Ughhh... I'm not sure about the Kid Galahad/Dickens fight later... but I'm so tempted to take action.
Fight not going the distance looks good to me.
Dickens punches harder than his record suggests, got that nice southpaw stance that can give Galahad trouble and fights with intelligent pressure. He's a good boxer with decent handspeed to make you notice.

On the other side, you have the kid people are touting as the second coming of the Prince. Got the unconventional style and if he can time you he'll make you pay.

Just so uncertain with this.... if Dickens can give him trouble with his southpaw stance... I can see him winning, albeit by decision more likely over stoppage.
Galahad though, he's on a KO tear recently and if he times you and catches you, he'll make you pay.

Fight not going 12 is +120....

I'll make up my mind later.

Good luck and enjoy the fights

When these superfights happen I just don't understand why boxing can't be a mainstream sport..

I don't know man.
Maybe it's all this B.S going on right now. Not the lack of exciting fighters.... lots of kids have fighting styles to excite

Fell asleep instead of playing fight ending ITD.
Galahad wore down Dickens and KO'd him in the 10th.
oh well, you miss some in life

Alright, couple of minutes until the first undercard fight starts. I'm in on Theophane (no props) but I think he takes it here.

I'm on Theophane (tiny) as well. GL. I'm also on Smith (tiny) & Mayweather (small). However, I am concerned about Floyd's hands getting injured during the fight. If Floyd loses or comes close to losing it will be due to his brittle hands.

mmaed · 09-14-13, 07:57 PM

If floyd mayweather loses its because i beat him up before the show.

hougigo · 09-14-13, 08:57 PM

Theophane drops a SD.
He was beaten out the first 4, but made the rest of the 6 close

hougigo · 09-14-13, 09:03 PM

I have Mayweather Spread -9.5 for -115

hougigo · 09-14-13, 09:09 PM

Nady going to work already.... he is gonna deduct a point from Molina at some point

hougigo · 09-14-13, 09:17 PM

Everything looking good so far Fistula. Molina clowing him.. just need the judges to agree now

hougigo · 09-14-13, 09:57 PM

Man, that's why I was worried. SD?
Come on now.... it wasn't even close

hougigo · 09-14-13, 10:59 PM

Holy hell.... i'm sitting in a deep hole now

hougigo · 09-14-13, 11:03 PM

My only saving grace is Mayweather by the spread.... other than that, i've pooped out on every other wager.
Shoulda took the Galahad prop

hougigo · 09-15-13, 12:29 AM

After the B.S MD (stupid CJ Ross) Spread barely covers.
Ross is the same person who was with Ford on Bradley's win over Pac

hougigo · 09-15-13, 12:29 AM

Other than that, buried today..... didn't pull the trigger on one, buried on Matthyse and got the Floyd spread

Mercersux · 09-15-13, 12:45 AM

Cashed on May. Part of me really thought Garcia would surprise but just couldn't pull the trigger on it. I pray Garcia gets Mayday next. The build up would be pure comedy gold. I think the only fight I'd want maybe a lil more for psycho father purposes would be Garcia-Guerrero.

Buildup would be amazing.
The dad would do most the talking, but damn.... it's probably next. That or the winner of Khan/Alexander

I don't think i could stomach Khan-Mayday. Khan is really nothing special. Absolute waste of a Mayweather fight.

Imsmarterthanu · 09-15-13, 01:24 AM

That score keeper CJ Russ or whatever her name is it's an insult to call her a judge

she has to be working for vegas bookmakers

If it was in the UK, could probably pump up some good revenue... hell, if Canelo won rounds like that, Khan stands a good chance of winning

She's just a horrible judge.... maybe though.
She had Bradley over Pac and Lara/Molina a draw

Fistula · 09-15-13, 01:50 AM

Your -9.5 spread play of course shouldn't have been close. I wish we could trust judges... because round spreads would otherwise be appealing bets.

Wow, Danny Garcia fought a brilliant tactical fight. I stayed away from that fight because I was worried he might have it in him.

As for me... I got buried.... hahaha.
Mad at myself right now, but nothing I can do but take it and move on.

New I should have changed my avi for good luck.... haha.
Damn....today sucked

Just the last one. Definitely don't have a problem with the others...

Haha, she's like my age, but she's on a Nick T.V show.
She looks like a young Pam An though...... switched it to a Officer Jenny cosplay

hougigo · 09-23-13, 01:51 PM

my internet went out all weekend and I missed Gustaffson/Jones.
I'm hearing Gustaffson was robbed (People say he won the first 3) but Jones won.
What are your thoughts on it?
I'm downloading it right now... gotta see this.

Gustafsson wasn't robbed. The most common opinion is that he clearly won R1 and R3, clearly lost R4 and R5, and the second round was a coin flip. I had Gustafsson winning 1,3,4, and possibly 2. I need to rewatch it though, may be underestimating how much damage Jones did at the end of R4.

Thanks, for clips I've seen he put up a goodfight. Saw this online too

I wonder if there'll be a rematch now.
So far I've only seen the first 4 minutes of the first and Gusstafosn was doing good. I was on my way to giving it to him because he was throwing some nice combos

hougigo · 09-23-13, 08:13 PM

Heads up for Chavez/Vera fight this weekend. The weight limit has gone from 163 to 168 to 173...... Chavez Jr. will have a huge weight advantage and won't be as drained as he has been in the past. Late TKO here

Faitelson_ESPN David Faitelson
El limite de la pelea de regreso de JC Chavez Jr sube a 173 libras (Vs.Brian Vera).Me parece que la revancha con "Maravilla" se esfuma. #fb

How pathetic is Chavez...guy sits out a year doing god knows what and first fight back he pulls this. Guys an absolute loser. He should be very thankful for his last name. I'd play Vera for the sole fact Chavez may not have been taking his training very seriously. I'd fully anticipate a bs decision if Vera can't get him out ITD.

IMO, not as bad as Camacho Jr.... dude comes in like 7-11 pounds over the weight limit every single time

well Dana suggested there would be to Ariel. Guess it depends if they think a rematch is more marketable than a Glover/Jones fight (which it surely is)
