    No more writeups because of all the contorversy. Go to sportinglife.com for my colleagues writeup which will be posted tomorrow lunchtime.
     
    Simple and Quick. This is a fight that should go the distance and should be an easy points win for Jones. BUT when you have 2 shot fighters I tend to avoid betting huge amounts on these types of fights..Simple, I just can't trust either fighter and chasing money on these type of fights is away for a professional gambler to go broke..Bottom line there are better upcoming fights out there to make better money on.
     
    2 star bet.. 5500 to won over 10k
    Roy Jones Jr by Decision or Technical Decision - 110

    Jones easy win. I agree both over the hill but Jones has shown he has a lot left. Jeff Lacy has the worst defense I've EVER seen in a boxer.

    I like Roy to win, possible 8-9th TKO but I like Roy to win, sounds like a bet on a race horse eh? "Roy to Win".

    Good Luck Mack.

    Wow Mack  Kidcole and myself agreeing.. any other posters DISAGREE?

    Rich I think this is a messy fight..So I am urging caution here..2 faded fighters = Mess. Playing the obvious play is probably the safest play for this is a fight that will not go to Jones decision 50% of the time (exactly how the Books see it).. lets hope this time it does it this time..
     
    Fights like Cotto v Pacman, Pavlik v Williams, Floyd v JMM are exciting fights but again not the real money making fights..I will not be parting with too many dollars on these..These fights imo are there to enjoy..My leans are Over Pacman/Cotto, Pavlik to beat Williams. Floyd UD v JMM..Betting big on these fights not recommeded.
     
    So that my followers know (thats for the PM messages of support guys) my next BIG bet will be Froch to beat Dirrell. Here is where I see the real value thats not in the big fights. The big fights above have too many intanigibles. So what I do is look for the value in a favourite and pounce..
     
    Dirrell does not have the experience to beat Froch in is home town. Simple. As Bad as Froch looked against Taylor that fight will have brought him on a ton and Dirrell hasn't really fought anyone and having his first test against a warrior like Froch in an imtimadating venue/city like Nottingham means Froch is amazing value here. So if you want to make big money bet low on the big fights and murder the Froch line of -190. Trust me this will go right down before fightime, very much like the Khan line did, so don't say I didn't give you the value early....
     
    Also I think Andre Ward is a LIVE dog against Kessler..I LOVE Ward in this spot. Best Dog bet of the year IMO. If Kessler wins it will not be by much.

    The only mess will be Jeff lacy, how they even let Lacy fight is beyond me.

    Lacey and Jones are both washed up I agree.

    Jones still has SOMETHING left in the tank, where Lacey never had anything to begin with.

    I see Roy Jones toying and just ripping up Jeff Lacy.

    I agree there are better fights to wager on, but I an assure you one thing Roy Jones won't be losing this fight.

    Also I believe ALL fighters in that "tournament" are LIVE DOGS. It's what makes this tourney so good! I've yet to look at the lines.. for this tourney.. but I'm excited it's happening.

    I will make no predictions on these fights yet as I need to see the lines where everything is taking place.

    I love Roy Jones though in this fight, might be the only time you ever hear me say "I love Roy Jones" :)

    Lacey and Jones are both washed up I agree.

    Jones still has SOMETHING left in the tank, where Lacey never had anything to begin with.

    I see Roy Jones toying and just ripping up Jeff Lacy.

    I agree there are better fights to wager on, but I an assure you one thing Roy Jones won't be losing this fight.

    Also I believe ALL fighters in that "tournament" are LIVE DOGS. It's what makes this tourney so good! I've yet to look at the lines.. for this tourney.. but I'm excited it's happening.

    I will make no predictions on these fights yet as I need to see the lines where everything is taking place.

    I love Roy Jones though in this fight, might be the only time you ever hear me say "I love Roy Jones" :)

    Mack is back, good luck.  You got some nice odds on that decision bet.  I am confused though.  You said 5500 to win 10k, which is around +180.  Then in the next post you said the bet was Roy by decision at just under evens.

    Lacy was obviously ruined and exposed by Joe C.; he has looked like a shell of a fighter ever since.  To win a Majority decision over Otis Griffin last time out shows how bad it has gotten.

    11 to 8  is around +135 i think although i ve been drinking
     
    I think lacy may have enough left although calzaghe dismantled left hook like a charm, exactly the way roy would have 5 years ago. No way i would lay big - money on RJJ, although would like to see him try and fight Spyder Silva in MMA. As the week has been pretty good to me so far may sprinkle on lacy but for shits and giggles only. Man i love my boxing but can t help myself floating into the MMA world. To be honest the carano Cyborg fight is more interesting than the crap boxing is putting out most weeks.

    I think Jeff Lacy is a great value bet.  Both fighters are way past there primes but that is a very juicy line for lacy.
