Under would be the play, Fury has only went 12 twice and fought 4 times in last 3 years, against limited opponents.
I expect Wlad to give him a beating, Fury likes to run his mouth. Wlad made Pulev pay for running his mouth. Fury got dropped by Cunningham (cruiserweight) and I think he is the fighter that punched himself in the face.

I had a similar reaction. In fact, I bet a lot of it at a number worse than what's out there now.
I guess the logic is that Floyd is so much better than Berto, there's a good chance of a KO. Obviously, if you know the fighters, you know differently.
FWIW, the Vegas books I've seen are not so gnerous. -220 at one, -225 at another.

I've been a big fan of Floyd for many years now and always did well on his fights, Afcorss we know Floyd is most definitely going to win this fight the only question is how, I'm curious Boxscout on why you like Floyd to win by decision? I've watched Berto's fights and this guy is a "Bum" , Josesito Lopez was shutting him out until he got caught with a couple of punches and went down instead, We all know Floyd is going to put on a boxing clinic tom, with all the punches Berto will be taking for a supposedly 12 round fight you don't think he goes down? Berto is not even on the same level as Floyd and you have Guerero and Ortiz as a measuring stick to prove that, and they both knocked Berto down! Afcorss we all know how these 2 fighters did against Floyd, Your only hope is that Berto has the will to hang on! Or the fight results in a Hug fest cause if Berto doesn't clinch Floyd he's going to get exposed for the Bum that he is! Also if this is Indeed Floyd's last fight what better way than to end it with a knock out, if this goes to another decision, not that it will in anyway have an impact on Money May's great legacy, but it still won't define him as truly being TBE! While amidst all the hoopla of the shots that he took during the Manny fight, this will definitely be a defining way of shutting everyone up if he indeed knocks out Berto! Just my 2 cents bro appreciate your insights as well!

Housekeeping: 13.35 +1.91 (old floyd bet) + 2.94 (new floyd bet) -1.4 (groves loss) = 16.8 unless I screwed up.
Terry Flannigan might prove he is a world level fighter, but he hasn't yet. Diego Magdaleno has. He has a clear power advantage and, I think advantages in speed and general athleticism. Very nice price on 5d:
Diego Magdaleno +140 1.5 to win 2.1

Nice work Fool's!
A bad stretch for me, saving the Floyd fight. The picks I haven't posted here haven't been any better.
Bailed out by the Fury postponement, as that number never came back and I didn't bet +115 or whatever it was. Don't know how to handle that or if anyone cares. Utterly shocked by the result. I thought Fury was good, but can't believe he decisioned Wlad. Fury should be good for Boxing, so I'm glad for that.
Perhaps some redemption this weekend.
I sort of think Jennings should be a favorite. He's far more proven and experienced. To my eye, more skilled and busier. He's handled himself well against other big men with power. Ortiz has nice power but I wonder if it's a bit overrated because he looks like an X-Man. Looks a little sloppy to me. We don't know about his gas tank.
Jennings 1 to win 1.45 (Bovada)
Saunders/Lee is gonna be a good fight I think. Saunders doesn't have a ton of power and Lee is a tough mick who has no problem getting up and recovering even if caught. I like Suanders' fluidity, volume and ability to absorb punches, as Lee has good power. All that adds up to some value in Saunders Dec. for me.
.75 to win 1.2 also at Bovada.

Pulev is fighting with chisora now. Hope so this time he may wins

Hey guys. Sorry for not responding.
Small win last time. .2 units but I'll take it. I don't know how to add it all up because of the Fury/Wlad debacle. 14.5 or 15.5 I think, depending on if you count that.
Wilder over was a good bet, I think. Didn't quite get there, but Szpilka got sloppy. A million times over, and I think you'd win a bit.
Speaking of Wilder, I think he should be a dog to Povetkin in Russia. Alex is very skilled, very professional. He's not going to leave his chin out there. Wilder might find it anyway, but he might find Wilder's too.
Wilder is quicker and taller, so he can make Povetkin chase. But he knows how to do it with feints, footwork, movement and a nice guard. If nobody gets the KO, Povetkin should be busier and more forward moving, which should get the nod.
1 x 1.25 = 1.25.
