Carl Frampton v Leo Santa Cruz

[Silkeyjoe]

Yes of course there are 100s of examples where things like that didnt happen. Hence why those fighters were such short prices for those fights. The point is anything can happen in the ring. If not noone would watch boxing, and people like you who can predict results with absolute certainty would bankrupt the bookies. Luckily you're not a betting man though!

I don't mind a bet now and again, but I tend to prefer to win my bets. 😉

Id take 1 winner and 99 losers at 500/1 ahead of 1 winner at 1/100

Me too. But name me the last time you had a winner at 500/1 ?

Not since the last olympics but have clicked some big price accas through the years. Have a 100,000/1 acca on the olympic boxing this year that should be around 1,000/1 that Im hoping comes in

Looking forward to this one - but as with all of the US fights, it'll be a challenge to stay sober enough to remember it by the time the fight starts...especially with the British boxing on that night too. Going to be a really tough fight, but Frampton has shown he can raise the game when he needs to, hope he comes home with the strap.

Venue: Barclays Center, New York Date: Sunday, 31 July Ring walk: 03:30 BST approx
Coverage: Listen live on BBC Radio 5 live and BBC Radio Ulster, with commentary repeated on Radio 5 live sports extra from 06:00 BST.
Carl Frampton takes on Leo Santa Cruz for the WBA featherweight crown determined to show fight fans in the United States just how good he is.

The unbeaten 29-year-old from Belfast said: "The last time I was in the States, I did not show my true potential.

"I don't think people have seen a really good performance from me in quite a while."

The last time Frampton fought in the United States, in July 2015, he recovered from being knocked down twice in the opening round to retain his IBF super-bantamweight title with a unanimous points decision over Alejandro Gonzalez Jr in El Paso, Texas.

Cruz is a lot taller.

Women are hot.

[Dia bando]

Cruz is a volume puncher Frampton has the power to upset.
Hopefully it will be a good fight.

[Spicoli]

Have a feeling Mercante Jr is determined to be involved in this opener. Has warned Farmer for low blows that weren't, head butt and not breaking and it was only the 1st round. Farmer making Redkach miss badly.

[Silkeyjoe]

Shakur Stevenson 7/2
Albert Selimov 7/2
Christian Assomo 70/1
Julio De La Cruz 11/4
Vasily Levitt 20/1

All have great chance of winning. Think Cruz should be odds on, and the others a good bit shorter bar Stevenson. placed the bet before Ramirez got in by default so bit hard done by there.
