Ughhhhhhh, i hate glazkov!

hougigo · 03-14-15, 11:53 PM

Good day other than the Cunningham robbery.

Don't hate the Pascal stoppage because he was on his way out

i agree even though I had the over

I'm shocked he got out of the 4th. Pascal just isn't active enough to keep the Krusher off him. Entertaining fight though!

I thought he was gone after that and did well to stay in there.

Showed some Kova flaws too, but still dominant.

Hate the Cunningham B.S, but good weekend

Yeah, I don't think Adonis can beat Kovalev either do you? Kovalev is active, pretty skilled boxer and has unreal power. Tough guy to beat, and Adonis is in his late 30's.

Congrats on the weekend. Wish I had listened to you on the under. I knew you were correct 30 seconds into the fight.

I give him a slightly higher chance now... but I still pick Kova to KO him.
I remember watching a vid on his technique and how he fights... think it was on bloody left hook or something like that.
Was very informative and you could see it in his fight.
Hes a forward momentum fighter and loves for you to back up while he's coming off you. Not a true pressure fighter since once he backs you up, if you're not hurt he'll reset and get back to work.
Also, he puts a lot of weight on his front foot when throwing and that causes him to be off balance at times, you'll see his right foot int he air sometimes when throwing.

Anyway, combat sports man....anything can happen. I could definitely see how some people could see the over hitting

Very good read on Kovalev's style

Kovalev vs Pascal Analysis: Kontemplating the Krusher

Sergey Kovalev has dominated so far in his 26-fight, 23-knockout professional career. But that doesn’t mean his next opponent Jean Pascal has no hope. Bad Left Hook’s technique analyst Connor Ruebusch gives the gameplan for the Krusher’s demise.

Nice find! Will check it out.

hougigo · 03-18-15, 04:58 PM

Kamegai/Gomez odds up on oddschecker has Gomez as the underdog.... not gonna lie... I like Gomez here.

He's the outright better boxer, but Kamegai is tough and he's gonna keep coming. I think he gave Guerrero so much trouble because they stood together and fought in a phonebooth.

Gomez could get KO'd here, a lot older and Kamegai could punch his way to victory....but I like Gomez as the better more experienced boxer fighting in Cali.

hougigo · 03-18-15, 08:15 PM

Gomez opens up at +150..... I want to bite now, but i'll sit and wait until at least tomorrow. Weight is 150.

I'm not too worried about Gomez getting beat up by the big japanese guy, he's fought MW's and stronger punchers.... unless he gets dragged into a brawl, he should do fine.

The two KD's were more of lucky by paredas than anything else

I remember that Kamegai/Guerrero fight. What a war!!

Pretty brutal, but Kamegai got outclassed the whole way by a former FW.

Also Gomez shooting up

I like your logic, it makes sense. I'm gonna pass on this one, but I'm rooting for you.

Thanks....it's been a while but I'm a big Gomez fan and fairly biased for him.

But as long as you don't stand in a phonebooth with him you should be good.... Gomez been through some fights though\\

Cotto/Canelo/MW's in the Contender as a WW

hougigo · 03-21-15, 08:50 AM

Nice, Alfonso Gomez hits.... but I got him at +130 instead of the initial 150.... dog still barks though.

i need to stick to this instead of venturing to march madness.... eff everything

hougigo · 03-21-15, 01:07 PM

What up peeps?
Just me and InDeep shooting shit, anybody else here since I got back?

hougigo · 03-21-15, 01:15 PM

Making another pic for me.... no real big analysis or write up... but I just personally like McKenzie and think he beats the young man at CW.

If anything happens, it'll happen early. Unless Askin can keep him at range, Old man can make things interesting. Old man is dangerous early

Really coming into it lately so.... rolling with the old man @ -150.

I'm not good at betting... bad impulse which usually leads me to lose out sometimes.... so I'm just gonna use some of my Gomez Dog winnings from last night

Indeep · 03-23-15, 04:45 PM

Nice job on the Gomez pick! I was out of town and only got a chance to watch it last night. Kamegai seems to stop every punch with his face. No defense at all.

I missed the fight because I was out of town too and haven't had the chance to dl it, but glad my boy pulled through. I really like Kamegai too, but he's just not that good. Good action fighter, but that's about it. Would like to see him vs Gesta next..... would be a decent scrap

Who you got in the Gary Russell Jr fight?

Haven't made up my mind yet.... Trying to think who i'd take though

hougigo · 03-25-15, 01:33 PM

It's either Johnny KO or GR Jr Decision.... more than likely it will be a GR Jr. decision

All it takes is one and we saw how bad he folded Mares.... but I feel like GR Jr. and team will just plan for that and be super cautious with their speed advantage

Hollafront · 03-26-15, 01:56 AM

I dunno at Jhonny's odds, I have to play him. He has 12 rounds to fine GRJ. GRJ only beat bums. He doesn't offer anything new to Jhonny.

Hollafront · 03-26-15, 03:57 AM

Kell brook via decision

Fair enough. Also not like GR Jr hasn't been hurt before. They have to work towards the perfect gameplan to offset him though, could be stylistically in GR JR's favor. But yea, only takes one shot and he's packing in the left hook.... he needs to go to the body though and not just head hunt the kid.... Loma made Gary very very uncomfortable with body shots that helped slow him down. Only reason Gary won rounds is because he threw more punches.... not even landed, threw

Yea, I like that too. He's tough and will look to outwork Kell. Unless he eats everything and wilts, Brook should pull out a hard fought 12 round decision

hougigo · 03-26-15, 04:18 PM

Might look more into Johnny/GR Jr.

Jr definitely has the speed advantage, but his reach is pretty damn short and has to fight in the pocket a lot.

Hollafront · 03-26-15, 05:26 PM

Jo jo dan is no scrub and Brook is coming off foot injury.

hougigo · 03-26-15, 05:31 PM

Gonna take the over 7.5 @-160 for the Lawson/Prescott fight.

Lawson packs a punch, but as old as Prescott is, I think he can take it despite all the wars he's been in. Not totally convinced of Lawson's power despite the high KO percentage.

I think it'll be a tough fight out for Lawson and he takes a decision here

Oh yea, getting stabbed in the butt?
LOL
But yea, Jo Jo will try to outwork Kell, but he'll try to keep distance and the more technical of the two.

Haha. I just put 2U on Kell via decision or pts paying out at 2.50.

Still debating on Jhonny's fight. Ugh.
