Thanks for the analysis. Still think the odds are worth a play, but I haven't decided how small it'll be. I think coming out may have given Cruz more confidence. He looked like a knockout destroyer...

If he uses his foot speed advantage Bradley could find Marquez with the right. I think Marquez takes it, but it should be a great fight.

It sounds crazy, but I'm considering going with Cruz at...

I'd suggest being more careful about method of victory props. You pick winners well, but often go with either KO or decision props when there isn't much to go by either way. I personally think mostly...

Aren't you a Bradley fan? Sadly your streak will continue if you go with your boy. I usually think the pre-fight hype stuff shouldn't be taken into account when predicting fights, but Marquez seems...

If you're into chalky parlays this is your weekend. But good call on Salinas. Quigg hasn't really been tested and he's never fought anyone who will give him the looks Salinas will. Even if Quigg...

Boxing betting is pretty crap the next two weeks. Cloud at 2/1 looks like decent value if he can manage to box a bit.

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

Your deserved your bad night for the pic of a 15 year old girl, haha

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...

Good luck and enjoy the fights :) When these superfights happen I just don't understand why boxing can't be a mainstream sport..

Doesn't the spread cover a KO too? Mayweather -9.5 seems pretty solid. He basically has to win by an average 116-112. But I already took Mayweather straight. I'm just on Mayweather straight and...

I was late in finding a stream... but Silvestre won all of the last five rounds, and almost knocked him out late. I was exactly right about Miyazaki not being able to handle smart pressure. But...

I watched some video of both Myazaki and Silvestre. Good points above. Myazaki is a damn good boxer. He moves smoothly on the outside, knows how to use angles on the inside, and he's an accurate...

Do you know anything about Ryo Miyazaki or Jesus Silvestre? I've been trying to keep informed about those Japanese fighters at bantam and under lately. Ioka, Inoue, and Yamanaka are great talents,...

That's why when I play parlays I never include a method of victory prop. Including Burns straight would at least leave the parlay open at reduced odds. I went with Arreola and a Nielsen/Burns-Beltran...

I was thinking Arreola by KO too, but it's a bit pricey so I might just take Arreola straight at -440. Arreola should be closer to 1/10.

The ref won't help Ishe Smith, sorry man. He's a paper...

[QUOTE=hougigo;19497366]Interesting.... I only looked at HW... what's your policy on inactivity and if they lose points for it? Helenius may be injured, but he's still been gone for a while

Initial top-30 rankings for heavyweight to light welterweight are now posted! This is really falling into place nicely, and I suspect by within a few months it will produce rankings more strictly...

Cool. Thanks for joining.

I wouldn't rule it out. But when's the last time Mayweather's odds have been this affordable? I'm taking him straight.

I made a new forum for the rankings... www.worldboxingrankings.proboards.com....

That's the biggest dog I've ever won on!!!!!!!!!

It's like the boxrec system in that it gives points. But boxrec uses so much information as criteria to get points that their system ends up with crazy rankings. They give points for KOs, the scoring...

The existing alphabet titles wouldn't be acknowledged for my ranking system. The hard part would be coming up with a somewhat fair top-30 before the points kick in. I thought a one-time poll could be...

Congrats on the Cuellar win :) I didn't watch that fight.

Yeah, Usmanee is more active and he's not letting Mendez take complete control.

Damn, Mendez is so smooth and one of the best natural talents in boxing

I'm so obsessed with my 'fantasy' idea, that I'm only making one boxing pick this weekend (Gonzales over Mares as a value play)

I posted my write-up on six boxing forums, where it's a better place...

You're the most active boxing fan here, so I want to suggest that you take a look at my idea for a points ranking system for boxing. I think boxing needs a points ranking system like tennis. I'm...

Hey man! Congrats that Fonfara came through for you. Campillo was outboxing him just like I predicted till he fell apart, pretty strange how it ended. And of course if you were big on Kovalev we both...

Make sure to watch the show though. These are two of the best FNF matchups this year. Pedraza is a really good prospect in with tricky boxer, and Nugaev-Hernandez could be a 10 round war.

I didn't know Wilder's been knocked down, interesting info.

My comment was in reply to Boxscout, but did you really take Liakhovich too? I couldn't care much less about this fight though, both fights on FNF will be so much better to watch.

You sure are reaching for straws to convince yourself that Liakhovich has a chance! At this point in his career he is so slow and easy to hit. I'll be shocked if he wins rounds, I only think he'll...

The fights on Friday Night Fights tomorrow are of course more interesting to bet on...

Nugaev-Hernandez I think is almost a lock to go the distance. It's a close match-up, both have solid chins,...

While you Americans do miss out on the best books, better odds generally, and some interesting boxing props, 5dimes is still essential for boxing bettors and here's one reason I started using it......

I'd just suggest not making a play if you're worried about the Fonfara-Campillo fight. You'll be pissed off if you pick against the guy you think is the better fighter but he ends up winning...

Oh, I have some leans on some upcoming fights that don't have odds up, but I won't post anything yet because I don't want to give the bookies any ideas, haha

You say Campillo has better skills but you're still taking Fonfara? I don't think it's a good idea to make a pick based on a hunch about the promotion. Especially because Fonfara just isn't that...

I'm happy Stevens got a big knockout... just because the boxing public will now overrate him and the bookies will give me a better price to pick Golovkin to destroy him :)

I hope you didn't pick against Mchunu based on the one round of him posted on youtube. I was considering picking him but didn't because I couldn't find any more video of him. Tonight's fight was a...

Did you make a play on the Fortuna fight? Franco is Fortuna's toughest opponent, like you said he's pretty skilled and savvy, and I don't think he's ever been hurt much less knocked out. The over's...

Lara vs Trout is not actually scheduled! It was only a rumour and nothing was officially announced. Strange that bookies have lines up for it.

Don't you mean going up? Most of the British books have Kovalev at -150, so when I saw he moved from -130 to -120 at 5dimes I thought it wouldn't get any better and was a steal so joined 5dimes just...

Oh I definitely appreciate the one active boxing thread here! And I'll be dropping by when I have something insightful to offer, or to show appreciation for your picks.

What did your boxing record...

Where are you playing the Servania fight? Neither Pinnacle or Bet365 is offering it...

Not quite the robbery the Martinez fight was but I thought Burgos won 116-112, sorry you lost that one. Burgos looked a bit flat, but he controlled the early rounds, and gutted out the last two. I...

Yep, you won't get much better bets than that :highfive:



Good call about Dos Santos's lack of defence when he's crowded. It was an easy fight for Gonzalez on the inside.

I've...

I like Estrada as well, but the other big fights this weekend aren't too appealing.

Heads up on the Miguel Gonzalez-Josenilson Dos Santos fight. The bookies have it as close to a pick-em, but I...
