    Thanks G8RB8, very strange.

    Yeah, Boxeo; I never anticipated that kind of movement or I definitely wouldn't have played it early.  Off of Guerrero's last performance and with Litzau's whiskers I figured it would go the other way.

    Dumb money on the over IMO.  Litzau isn't ready for Guerrero.

    Regarding Anderson-McIntyre, it was on streamtv.  They've been showing more Friday British fights lately.

    Yeah man, I'm pissed.  I took it about an hour and a half ago at -140.  I put another 2 units on it, so I get -125.
     
    Maybe it's because it's a main event and low total that people are hitting the over. . .  otherwise, I can't really make a case for it.  Strange as hell.

    The Litzau under is a pretty public bet. Not that is good or bad but that's just how it is. The line moved because the guy who made the line bet against the public. That is the reason for the move.

    I don't do it for the recognition more so to spread what I consider a helpful opinion.

    Yep.....

    .75 of a unit on Anderson (+135) vs McIntyre
    Reading ESB it seems like it was a pretty close tilt and the two 117-112 cards were plain wrong.  What did the other card read?  It was worth a stab, better performance it would seem by Anderson.  I still think he is the more talented fighter.  Boy, these fighters were headed in two different directions before their 1st matchup; now Anderson finds his career at a crossroads on the domestic level at the age of 24 and McIntyre's career is resurrected.  I guess Jennings would be the next logical matchup for him.


    Romi and Armageto seem like solid bettors over at boxrec.

    I don't know it it's that simple mayweatherfan.  Maybe you're right, but either way, Litzau has a loyal constituency of followers. I think the money showing for the over is a result of them thinking that their boy can outsmart and out box the Ghost.  That makes no sense to me.  Litzau's defense is awful and I think the only way he wins is by KO, whether or not that happens early or late.  Guerrero is without a doubt a man on a mission these days and tonight I think he's going to seek and destroy within 5 or so rounds.

    It is that simple, Mayweather is da truth.  I can't believe I just said that.  I know who he is speaking of, he puts enough out there to influence the line a good bit and even said himself it was more of a anti-public play.  He is a linesmaker, so he trusts his opinion.  Wish I would have known he would have come in late.

    It is that simple, Mayweather is da truth.  I can't believe I just said that.  I know who he is speaking of, he puts enough out there to influence the line a good bit and even said himself it was more of a anti-public play.  He is a linesmaker, so he trusts his opinion.  Wish I would have known he would have come in late.

    Nah it is that simple. All it takes is 1 person with a bit of money who is profiled as a winner and they can move a boxing line a good bit. Sometimes on line moves it is a lot of people but those are usually earlier line moves on boxing. Not in this case though.

    Tonight just got a lot more interesting, at least for me.  I feel like I'm witnessing a laboratory experiment here.  Let's see what happens.  If you're right, I will have to tip my hat.

    I hope I didn't come across as in your face, didn't mean it that way if that's how you took it.  I just felt like I needed to say it wasn't BS.

    This guy does this, don't think this is a laboratory experiment.  I wouldn't change the side I'm on, when I said I wish I would have waited I meant that I would have liked to get the better line on the under.

    Definitely didn't take it as a diss FB, as I respect both of your opinions.  I am, however, intrigued, to say the least, at what I've read here in the last hour.

    Holy cow.  Powell took care of business so quickly, I had to watch it twice to make sure that really happened.

    Makes me wonder how Kassim Ouma beat SP? SP can at least hit and he hits pretty hard from a Southpaw stance. That's not a bad tix to punch in the Sweet-Science.

    I have been on the phone with a college buddy or I would have gotten back over here post fight, he knew what I was on and called me a minute into the fight laughing.  I didn't even think about a jink, I knew what was going to happen.  That was a fun first round, talk about a mismatch. 

    Sometimes you are spot on and this was one of those times. I actually almost got very crazy with this fight this afternoon, but held back; hindsight is always 20/20. Reminded myself that Powell wasn't a big puncher, but as you saw it didn't matter at all.  Great start to the weekend.

    4.5 units on Finley-Powell under 6.5 (-150)

    1 unit to win 1.3
    Powell-Finley under 6.5 (-150)
    Vazquez-Marquez won't go distance (-265)

    This fight doesn't say anything about Powell at all, it just says what I thought was the case with Finley.  Any top 20 guy gets Finley out of there within four rounds unless they are taking a nap in the corner.

    FB, I think you need to do a dissertation on the ineptitude on midwest club fighters.

    It's a betting philosophy I have used for quite some time, this fight fit it to a tee.

    Hope we didn't scare you or leave you too puzzled.  It's really not a huge deal.  I correspond with Mayweatherfan outside of this board, he's the only other boxing guy that I touch base with regularly, he goes by valdosta at other boards.  Why he chose Mayweather for his name here I don't know, I guess he likes douchebags, kidding.  He's solid.

    After I saw the posts with the line movement, I went over to the guys site mentioned above where I occasionally post when I get over there; sure enough it was who I thought. Most major books use this guy's lines for fight sports (talk about a sweet gig), you have probably seen me mention Oddessa books in my threads having there lines up already when waiting on odds to be posted at thegreek and 5dimes.  He trusts his numbers, which is understandable.

    Thought I should clarify, didn't want you thinking something super strange was happening.

    I had that 6-4 Wilson. But I can follow 5-5 or even 6-4 either way. Been a week of Draws so far.

    I liked the way the first round went, but then the freight train grabbed revenge in a hurry.  Wilson is an idiot for not holding, Walker gasses so easily I would have loved to see Wilson survive that barrage, but that's a big if. Bummer; great start to the night, bad intermission, let's end it with a winner.
