Re: BT Sport Boxing Launch Night - Lomachenko v Sosa, Smith v Williams, Flanagan v Pe
Gonzalez has some beard judging by the bombs he took against Pascal and Shabber (I've only watched highlights but Gonzalez doesn't look like a "typical" Cuban, has a good punch output). As technically excellent as Gvozdyk is, which is backed up with a lights-out right hand, he hit the deck pretty heavy against Karpency, whose looked a virtual powderpuff puncher at world level, but is sort of an awkward mover.
The bookies (only one priced up so far) make the Cuban a 5/1 shot. Hmm.. even if Gonzalez gets beat, should get a run for the money at those odds.
Usyk-Hunter looks better than the odds suggest too. A supposed mismatch on paper, Hunter (7/1, backed from 11/1) was a good amateur, he lost on count-back in the Olympics against Beterbiev and had tons of experience and American success. He has a pretty swift, natural, relaxed look too although not a bone breaking hitter. He looks like a small heavyweight instead of a chiseled cruiser.
Not sure he's worth a shrapnel bet though (was at a double figure price) as Usyk is an outright killer.
Great card for "free" HBO.
