End of Year Boxing Picks Thread

Indiana · #1 09-12-2005, 12:55 PM

Lots of fights coming up here at the end of the year so I thought I would start a thread. As you know, Tuds and I go back and forth analyzing these fights and I must say that there has been large rewards from our recent bets. Either way, we both agree on the over for Tony if the price is good and the over for Castillo/Corrales. There is still ongoing discussion about the B-Hop/Taylor and Peter/Wlad fights. I like the $ on Peter str8 up to beat Wlad and the over for B-Hop/Taylor. I also think that betting str8 up on Taylor is a very smart move.

Thoughts?

I definitely appreciate yours and Tuds' boxing threads, as you guys really know what you're talking about.

I tailed Tuds' picks last weekend of the over on the Morales fight and the under on the Pacquiao fight, and both picks were right on. Doesn't anyone discuss boxing here anymore? There were 0 replies to that thread.

Unfortunately, on my own, I also played a parlay that included Morales winning, and also had Morales winning in a decision +160. I couldn't imagine either Morales or Pacquiao losing their fights (both of them over -1000), but somehow it happened. Back to square one for me.

Looking forward to the future boxing picks here!

In the USA, boxing used to be the biggest sport. In the 1920s the Yankees used to sell out at 8000 in the audience wheras the HW boxing events had 50000. Times have changed and people do not follow boxing as much anymore. To be honest, Tuds and I have been PMing each other quite a bit and have not been posting here for lack of interest. In my opinion, boxing is the easiest sport to make $ on because of public ignorance. Now go out there and bet the farm on the Corrales/Castillo over!!!

I'd like to hear your thoughts on why you feel the over is such a 'lock'?

Indiana · #5 09-13-2005, 09:19 AM

I feel very strongly about the Corrales/Castillo over becase the last fight went 10 rounds and Corrales fought the worst style of fight that he could have against the slugger Castillo. There was way to much banging in the last fight and Corrales may have won, but he took a beating along the way. Goosen, his trainer, is not gonna let him come out as a brawler this time which will prolong the fight. Either way, even if he did come out with that slugging style he's still likely to make it 10 rounds because we know that he already has and....Well as we saw in the Casamayor saga, Corrales really gets up for a rematch after a questionable first fight.

I have laid big $ on this over.

Fair enough. The best line I can find right now is -136 at Pinnacle. Do you expect this line to improve before the fight or is this the best were gonna get?

I used to post my picks but stopped because they were vastly inferior to you and Tuds picks. Maybe I will continue to post mine. They last pick I really liked, Barrett over Roc, was wrong.

ThaHero,

Definatly DON'T stop posting your picks. I don't care if they are horrible predictions, just please give us the complete reasoning behind your picks. If we can get multiple angles/takes on a fight then we can try to analyze it as complete as possible.

Hey All,

Great thread to start Indy, Let just hope it doesn't get burried with CFB and NFL threads, even if it does I will start a new thread so as long their is some boxing talk happening on this board.

These next 4 months promise to be one of the most exciting stretchs in the sport of boxing in along time. It seems like every week their is a big card and on those cards their is at least one good fight and maybe a couple good bets.

I have been collecting lots of information about upcoming fights. I have got some REALLY strong picks in the near future. I won't post anything yet because as now right their are very few lines posted. Only real big fights have odds and those fights will be discussed more as they near. Once I find some odds on some of my favorite upcoming boxing lines I will post them here. But as Indy can atest, I do change my mind frequently as I gather more info and as the lines change, so please follow my most current advice.

Good to See Some Interest in Boxing on this Board. Now Lets All Win Some $$ Together.

Do you feel that the Tua/ Saliff match, which has been rescheduled to October ,will get any lines posted?

Any answer is appreciated.

Thanks!
