116-112 for Canelo. But a couple of rounds were very close. I always give the benefit of the doubt to the fighter who is moving forward. If Canelo would have fought like Lara then there would be NO fight. Just 2 guys running away from each other around the ring. People pay to see a fight not a track & field event.

Lara was hitting him, engaging with him, and actively circling, stopping, firing, and circling again. You can't penalize a guy for having good footwork and refusing to stand and bang.

Trying to find a prop for Golovkin/Geale

It'll be by KO, but torn between first half and second half.... leaning second half though

Agreed, he fought the first 4 rounds beautifully. People calling it running are clueless, what do you expect him to do, just mindlessly brawling with Carnelo? Thats like going to the ground with Maia if you're Chael Sonnen.

Don't think geale can last 12 rounds?

**brooks85** · 07-27-14, 08:45 AM

nope

Went tot he fight last week and totally forgot to put anything down... I guess that's good since I was leaning in the later half.

Pissed that I didn't lay for FNF too because I liked Campillo in those ridiculous odds. Hope i can get one in... I think Rios/Chaves doesn't go the distance and both guys will tear each others head off. There's a chance they just go to war for 10 rounds and eek out a decision, but I'll ride the under 9.5 for +160

Thompson/Chilemba/Kovalev ITD parlay & Thompson/Chilemba/Kovalev/Chavez Dec. parlay. Also a Thompson/Chilemba/Kovalev/Chavez parlay. Good luck Gigo!

**Ron_Paul_2012** · 08-02-14, 08:47 PM

Chilemba wins via 7th rd TKO!

**Ron_Paul_2012** · 08-02-14, 08:55 PM

Small play on Vargas. As a general rule I never bet against Russian fighters but tonight I will make an exception.

Vargas comes through vs the Russian. I had the score a little closer than the judges but the right man won.

Hey Gigo do you have any other plays tonight?

**Bumdeal** · 08-02-14, 10:20 PM

Went with Vargas and and Kovalev ITD, took Rios as well.

Watching this interpreter trying to translate Bernard's rambling is funny.

This Chavez vs Rios fight is AMAZING! Chavez is going to win via Decision!

**Ron_Paul_2012** · 08-02-14, 11:18 PM

I do NOT ever want to see this referee in a boxing ring again! Absolutely disgraceful! Chavez is also to blame though. I hope Chavez never fights out of Argentina again! He had his chance & blew it BIG TIME! Chavez spoiled an otherwise perfect night. Another very profitable day of fights in the books.

**hougigo** · 08-02-14, 11:32 PM

Only one for me... ended in 9th round DQ

**Grabaka** · 08-02-14, 11:33 PM

Aaaaaaaa penetrating ref and penetrating Chaves

OMG dont even tell me that

lol cool pics

**hougigo** · 08-09-14, 04:51 PM

Ughh.. I have one pick I like today... and another I'm just being a degen in.

First... I like the under in the Takayama/Rod fight. Rod is the much bigger guy, he'll push the pace the whole fight and Takayama has been in some wars man.... Takayama also struggled his last fight out and I think Rodriguez will be too much for him

Got the Under 9.5 at +110

next... I'm doing this because.... dunno.

I think Salka lasts 10 and Garcia wins a decision. Salka fairly smart and works a lot off the jab....but holy hell when he comes in to attack, he's wide open for Danny's check hooks which he basically loves doing and just tries to set it up the whole time.

Salka's best chance is to work off the jab and don't be reckless.... so screw it...Danny by Decision @+143

Agree with both plays but why not also play Rod straight?

Good call, Im gonna put 10 on Rod by decision...I think I saw it at +3800 at 5d

**Ron_Paul_2012** · 08-09-14, 09:07 PM

Gigo. Who do you have between Porter & Brook?

**hougigo** · 12-06-14, 04:33 PM

I haven't posted in forever.... kind of sporadic now that I got some shit going on in the personal life, so been busy.

IMO, something to look out for on tonights main event.

Rosado is a steadily rising underdog now at +265.

I like his chances to win here despite not winning in the boxing ring since 2012.

In almost all his losses he put a good effort up and only went down once to Quillin, who I thought he came back really strong against and was a lot closer on the cards than what the judges had.

Anyway, Lemeuix is a hard charger who wings a lot of his shots... that's how he overpowers his opponents, just unloading on them when he backs them up against the ropes.

How I see it going is Lemeuix starting fast with Gabe trying to weather the storm into the later rounds, where he'll start to pick up the pace to try and drown Lemeuix. I still question his stamina and if he'll be able to keep going that after Gabe starts throwing back. The big concern here is Gabe's skin tissue... since Golovkin cut him pretty bad, he has bled and got cut pretty bad in all of his losses after.

I think Gabe is worth a punt here. He'll be a challenge and I think if he survives the early onslaught, he'll give a hard fight as the fight goes by.

Now, Lemeuix could blast him out... but I think Gabe's tougher than that. Besides the Angulo KO, he hasn't really been destroyed like that since.

Nahh, still chasing Jessica Nigri, haha

**Napes21** · 12-06-14, 04:47 PM

GL man - I played Rosado too - feel the same as you about this fight - wish I had waited as the line got better

Yea, thanks man, you too.

I had a feeling it might because almost everyone on my twitter just started blowing up on Lemeuix and thought maybe the odds would reflect that...
Definitely a close fight.

**hougigo** · 03-02-15, 06:31 PM

Mannnnn, I ****** up bad there.
I jumped off for a while again.

Jumped on after I saw Solis/Thompson 2 and Thompson being a moderate dog.

Also boxing will be plentiful for the coming months starting this week... so eff it... i'm getting back in.

Kind of just want to grab other people's opinions too since not a lot goes on at NSB

**hougigo** · 03-02-15, 06:31 PM

Anyway, looking at a couple of stuff... like under 9.5 for Kova/Pascal and maybe the Over/decision for thurman/Guerrero
