Campbell/Ortiz, Khan/Malignaggi

I feel people are afraid to back Campbell because nobody really knows how much he has left. He's looked like trash recently and doesn't have the look of a guy that should be fighting a young stud like Ortiz. If he has any chance he needs to come out fast and not look back. I feel he'll do this and we'll get a great fight.

Under 9.5, -115

I love Malignaggi. It's too bad he is going up against a fighter with legit pop and a trainer that will show him the Hatton tape and tell him to keep chopping until Malignaggi goes down. The bullshit at the weigh in, the Twitter trash talking and general hate these two have for each other should make for an action packed fight. The only problem is that  Paulie is bringing a knife to a gunfight tonight...

Amir Khan via KO, -103

I think Campbell will too walk, I'm taking a small wager on the plus money

 

I also fear that Khan will just basically waltz through what Mags will bring. . . the whole world knows he hasnt been stopped, except for a fight he could have finished on his feet in that had the towel thrown in, and the over is only -112 now at matchbook. . . I was thinking I was going to see -180 or more on it.

I love Paulie, his heart and skills are world class. . .  too bad his power is kindergarten

If you like Khan by KO, why not take the Under at + money?

Good luck to you too. I couldn't believe that Khan was such a huge favorite against Paulie at first. The more I thought about it I just couldn't picture Roach let Khan get out boxed for the entire fight without demanding him to apply constant pressure. I just can't see how Paulie finds a way to dance through the raindrops all night without getting wet at some point. Then other thing I gave serious consideration is how much of an emotional fighter Paulie is. He doesn't have the ability to focus and stick to his game plan. His nuts are bigger than his brains and he'll pay for that tonight.

That's a pretty good point, because then you cover yourself for nonsense like Cintron/Williams last week, or any other early trip to the scorecards.

It isn't plus money anywhere except MB and those offers weren't available when I placed my wager. It's -120 for the full fight and -110 for 11.5.

That was some crazy shit. I was out of town for a bachelor party and took the weekend off. How was that graded?

 

Agree, but Paulie fights pretty well sticking and moving and going backward.  My hope is that Khan gets a little gassed early trying to walk through everything, then Paulie starts feather fisting his way to a really good showing. 

Realistically I fear that this is one of those fights where Paulie might land twice as much as Khan, but physically look 10 times worse, all battered and bruised by the end though.

 

 

Far as I know, PW ITD, but I didn't have a bet on it to confirm.  PW got the victory on his record

Wow.  Not that this helps you at all, but my local still has Khan ITD at +150.  Under 11.5 rounds is +110.  Khan by decision is +110. 

Williams by decision was winner.

Yes, you're right too.  It was a weird situation. 

any lnk to ortiz v campbell fight?

 

Ah, you're right. . .  cause it went to the cards. Duh....  I feel stupid on that one

Not sure I've ever seen a decision bet cashed in under 4 rds before

What I learned tonight:

1. Nate Cambell is s-h-o-t.

2. Victor Ortiz is very talented but not nearly as polished as he should be. He doesn't have that killer instinct that a puncher should have. He really doesn't like getting hit. Sounds stupid, because nobody likes to get hit. However, Ortiz will cost himself a fight because he refuses to exchange even though he'll win big exchanges.

3. Amir Khan is even better than I thought he was. Paulie didn't present much of a power threat, but Khan looked like he was on another planet talent wise. Bradley is too small and too slappy for Khan. Khan would knockout the slugger Maidana. A fight with Alexander is now on my Christmas wish list.

4. Malignaggi is still the coolest guy in boxing - win, lose or draw.

As for #2, Golden Boy needs to be very careful with how they match Ortiz at this point.  I don't see many people in the top ten that I'd be confident in him beating.  Even if it's someone like Urango, would you be confident betting Ortiz?  I wouldn't.  Maybe they can talk Malinaggi's people into one last payday for Paulie.

Don't get to carried away with Khan's easy win. Paulie's style was tailor made for him. That's why Roach chose him as an opponent. Against a big puncher.. He may have a much tougher time of it. I thought he got hit a little too much for a slick boxer. Considering his reach advantage that surprised me. the jury is still out for me.
