Plays for the Week (FNF, Telefutura, Showtime, HBO PPV)

What a joke, split nod to Foreman!  I said it earlier in the week and I stand by it, 2007 has been like none other than in terms of crap decisions going against me.  I have not experienced this in 5 years of betting on boxing, it has to start balancing out soon.  If Harold Lederman or Teddy Atlas score another fight for my fighter I am going to break the remote, they signal a bad decision every time.  How anyone can score that fight for Yury "Boreman" Foreman 97-93 is beyond me, all he did was hold/hug and land pity pat shots.  Out of the three distinguished judges; one had never scored a major fight before, one had scored Byrd-Golota for Byrd (A joke), and the other had scored Ruiz-Golota for Ruiz (Another Joke).

1.95 units on Thompson (-130) vs Foreman

I am still barely down for the week, but this is getting rediculous.  Thank goodness I am a solid handicapper and have overcome this stuff in 2007 to be up pretty substantially.  No lie; every split decision this year has gone against me except for Mayweather-DLH, it has been unreal.

Well, the Zab-Cotto fight didn't go as I hoped and a star was born tonight in Cotto (I don't think Mayweather wants any of that pressure).  I still wonder though why Judah didn't through his left hand more (every time he did it would land and he buckled Cotto's legs 3-4 times) and how much those two shots to the nuts took out of Judah.  Cotto's chin was the major reason I made the Judah play and he proved that it is reliable; two of those left hands that Judah landed were as flush as they come and although he buckled he didn't go down.  Gotta give Judah props, he had lot of heart to hang in there those last few rounds and didn't resort to his old dirty antics.

At least Elvir got me some money back with the almost 5-1 points handicap and softened the Thompson moose and the Judah fight.  I should have backed my Elvir feeling more, but I had never seen tape on the guy, it was more a play against Tarver.  Tarver is not the same fighter anymore.  It would have been some thing if my 22-1 decision prop on Elvir would have won.
