bought back a half unit on arthur abraham and added another unit on Froch at -150

Froch line has been on the move all day , 5 dimes just hit him at -170

Carl Froch -140 x2.5
Carl Froch vs. Andre Dirrell over 11.5 rounds -110 x.75
Jermain “Bad Intentions” Taylor +190 x.5

[illmatick]

taylor line has moved against me as I expected, +210 is available

going to need a dominant showing just to have a chance at eeking out a decision

[Boddhissatva]

Okay...after much contemplation...I'm wagering on Jermain Taylor...

the +210 did it for me...I'm surprised the odds were that stacked against him.

Taylor isn't washed up, and he still has a very dangerous arsenal that can Knock you the fu*k out.

His opponent AA, hasn't faced such marquee names or stand outs. Don't get me wrong...the fact that this guy fought 8 rounds with a broken jaw tells me he's one bad mother fu*ker...and the fact that this fight is in Europe also weighs against Taylor...

but like I said....the Odds did it for me.

If Jermain taylor fights the smart fight, and doesn't abandon his gameplan after getting popped...he should win. He's the bigger guy,with the longer reach...hopefully he did his homework. I have one unit on taylor.

Taylor isn't washed up

I agree, but Pavlik laid out the blueprint to beat Taylor and Abraham is the perfect guy to take Taylor to the championship rounds and jump on him as soon as he tires. Which he will.

Not betting this though, so GL with your bet. You're gonna sweat it.

[illmatick]

Taylor is still an elite fighter, look for him to fight a lot like he did against pavlik in their rematch, Abraham loves to shell up for the first half of his fight so hopefully jermain feeds off that and takes a 2 or 3 round lead for the first half of the fight, agree with matt though, Abraham is the perfect fighter to take jermain out late in the fight, might want to hedge a bit with a few abraham late knockout prop bets, 10,11, and 12th are all at 10 to 1

illmatick, thanks a bunch for the link.

, I have jermain up 3-1, still early though, expect arthur to turn it on around the 6th round

[illmatick]

just like that, even fight going into the 7th

[Matt Rain]

Dayum!

[bruce_outside]

oh my ****ing god! abraham may have killed taylor

[bruce_outside]

taylor couold be seriously hurt

[Matt Rain]

He seems alright. Good God, what a KO.

[illmatick]

exact same finish as the froch/taylor fight

[bruce_outside]

that reminded me of pac/ hatton. god i hope jt retires. he is up now.

[rjt721]

Hope JT doesn't continue on with this tourney.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

Man that Abraham KO was sick, here comes the Froch Dirrell fight.

[illmatick]

lets get it guys, added another unit on froch at -160

one time baby!!!

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

can't believe this is starting at 2:40am local time

[illmatick]

judo throw had to count for something

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

this fight is gettin dirty!!!

[rjt721]

Point taken from Dirrell. What a joke.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

what a shiiiiiit decision!

[rjt721]

Figured it would be nearly impossible for Dirrell to get the decision in England, but he made Froch look like the club fighter that he is - the middleweight Ricky Hatton.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

good to see they made a joke out of this tournament so early

[illmatick]

bought back a half unit on arthur abraham and added another unit on Froch at -150

Froch line has been on the move all day , 5 dimes just hit him at -170

Carl Froch -140 x2.5
Carl Froch vs. Andre Dirrell over 11.5 rounds -110 x.75
Jermain “Bad Intentions” Taylor +190 x.5

2-1 , close fight but you had to expect that decision considering where the fight took place

[illmatick]

dirrell fights arthur abraham next, probably make a small play on arthur, expect some value in the line and definitely see Abraham getting another late K.O, my first thought was kessler would take this tournament but Abraham proved he should be the overall fav to win this thing

[Boddhissatva]

I wagered on Froch...but wow...what a bull$hit decision...

115-112, really?

[illmatick]

decison was to be expected, direll had to expect to bring it a little harder than he did if he wanted to take a belt from a champion, most title fights are scored that way, in america direlll might have got the nod but the way he fought that fight is usually not going to win you a belt, dont get me wrong he showed some amazing boxing ability but was just a bit too reluctant to exchange and mix it up on the inside, Arthur Abraham is a spectacle to see, cant wait to see him destroy both Froch and Kessler

[Boddhissatva]

I was most impressed with Dirrell's boxing skills...his jab, his counters...and how sharp he was.

however...I was also incredibly impressed with Abraham's sheer power and freight train, I'm coming right at you, style of fighting.

[Matt Rain]

Abraham-Kessler will be a classic. Can't wait!

[Mac4Lyfe]

Jermaine Taylor needs to call it quits. His chin is paper thin late in fights. That concussion will plague him for the rest of his life. Kid with so much promise but seem to lack heart. Find another gig JT. Praying for ya.

[beagle25]

They should replace Taylor with Lucian Bute.

[illmatick]

locked up a few plays early

Mikkel Kessler -230 x3
Kelly Pavlik +130 x1.5
Joshua Clottey -230 x2.5
Miguel Angel Cotto +200 x1

expect the kessler,pavlic and clottey lines to all move my way, you can probably find a better price on cotto in a few weeks

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

as far as the Pavlik Vs Williams fight, i got williams big in this one. was hoping to see better odds than -150 to -175
