Boxing '09 YTD: -2.85*
Well, February wasn't very pretty. Parlays were typically unkind to me. Dogs weren't biting very hard minus Camacho getting embarrassed, which means promoters are doing their job, and most of the "easy" plays (Gamboa under, Angulo under) were well juiced, meaning Vegas is doing its job. Chris Henry went insane, and lest I forget, the Judahs as a clan are garbage.
Moving on...
2.0* Roberto Guerrero - Daud Yordan U7.5 -165
If there was a prop on this fight ending via a Guerrero left uppercut, I'd hammer it. Yordan has nice punching skills, but going off of the Meza fight, he's more boxer-puncher than mover, his head stays much too stationary, he's open for counters, and when he's buzzed he puts up a weak earmuff defense that leaves his body wide open. All very bad signs for him come tomorrow night. 2009 should be a big year for the smaller Ghost, now under the GBP banner. He'll pick up right where he finished against Ruiz.
Leaning toward a house parlay for the HBO card. Ortiz is patient enough to handle Arnaoutis in a nip and tuck kind of fight. Kirkland will be walking through some major fire early on, but there is no way I'm betting against him and Ann's crazy asses right now. The U8.5 at -185 looks like the perfect number. Every square in the world will pound that, so I'm not sure yet if I want to play along. And I will be very surprised if Yordan gives Guerrero much of anything serious to think about.
Piccirillo is on his last legs, but the fact that my first thought seeing this line was "That dude who just got worked by Yuri Foreman is a 5-1 favorite???" tells me I probably ought to stay away from this one. Not a good sign.
Zertuche at +450 has to be worth a second look.
Good luck all.
