    A double on Kell Brook and Manny Pacquiao to win their fights inside the distance by any method is currently paying 5/6. You may think that's not great value but Kell Brook is an outstanding young prospect and he will be a world champion in a few years, think he'll have far too much skill for Krzystof Bienias to handle. Pacman is a machine so he should make easy work of Joshua Clottey, who's no mug himself but he's not in Pacquiao's league.

    I think this is worth a big blind.

    Brook fights on friday night on Sky Sports 1. Pacman is on Sky Box Office in the early hours of Sunday morning.

    Yeah, was gutted when that fight fell through. I think it'll go ahead, they've probs gone down this route to spice it up a bit and generate more interest.  Mayweather v Mosley should be a good little fight but Pacman v Mayweather is the one every boxing fan on the planet wants to see.

    Cheers mate, didn't think it was worth paying £15 for but i'll defo watch it for free.  I've been robbed by refs a few times when it comes to round betting. I was due to win a few hundred squid when John McDermott fought Danny Williams. I had McDermott down for a 5th round KO, he was beating the shiz out of him, Williams was gone but the fricking ref didn't step in. Swine!

    On the same occassion, Freddie Roach states his prediction on the said upcoming fight and said that Pacman will definitely make the Ghana fighter to fall on the 9th round of the welterweight division match and deliver the first ever knock-out in the entire career of Clottey.

    "Clottey has a good defense but not too strong and he can be as solid as shell, but Pacquiao has a game plan specific to break Clottey's shell of defense and I believe both Pacquiao's hands are too fast for Clottey's defense. I know Clottey has a good chin, but Manny (Pacquiao) will break him down to the body," says Roach.

    In fact, "I believe a win by knockout in the ninth is likely," says Roach over Clottey who has never been knocked out of his three professional losses.

    "But, Clottey has a very difficult style and Pacquiao has a game plan that suits his style and he is ready to go for twelve rounds," Roach added.

    Just thought i would bump this thread back from the dead with a few selections for today..

    Ive gone for a double on  3.30 Haydock- Salut Flo 5/2
                                         5.35 Carlise- Fair Question evens


    And 3.50 kempton- Vitznau 9/1 this horse last ran in the lincoln but the ground was against it that day..But back on the all weather should run a nice race..Good e/w bet..

    Theres 1 i really fancy running next week at the grand national meeting..Think it will run on either the thursday or the friday..Its called Super Kenny i can see there being a massive gamble on this horse just because of its name...With it running at liverpool and Kenny Dalglish being a liverpool legend...This beast will pay for the grand national bets..

    Heres a few ive backed in the national aswell..Black Apalachi 14/1- State Of Play 20/1- Mr Pointment 66/1..I backed Black Apalachi last year when it was cruising out in front untill unseating its rider...Has a great chance this year with the ground being in its favour..Im hoping this 1 leads from start to finish..

    Ive also gone for David Haye to win in rounds 4,5,6 there all priced at 12/1..Im very confident Haye will make this old timer Ruiz hit the deck in this fight..

    Good Luck all having a bet today

    Good stuff moonoo. I'm with you on the Hayemaker, Ruiz is no mug but Haye has great speed and athleticism for the heavyweight division and combined with his power not many of his fights go past the 4th round, hence the 21 KOs in 23 fights. I'll be very surprised if he doesn't spark him out, although with my money riding on it Ruiz will probably transform into Muhammad Ali when he steps through the ropes.

    Great stuff chaps - cheerz for the bump and the tips.

    I think this thread got lost in Cheltenham madness - with people posting selections left right and centre. Back to the nitty girtty then!!

    Flat racing!!! Nowhere near as enjoyable to watch, as a horse racing clown like myself - like to see my horse get into a race and with some of these flat races, I find out which ones mine, and its over! :(

    Anyway still like a bet, so keep em coming - Hungover today, so sports betting only!!!

    Keep all ya sporting bets coming fellaz, any sport, preferably live on tv, and ill keep putting my money where your mouth is :)

    Is anyone having a bet on the battle of the grandads? Bernard Hopkins v Roy Jones Jr

    No UK tv network has bothered to get the rights for this fight. I know it hasn't generated that much interest but it's one i'd like to see.

    Sky should have included this fight in the Haye PPV package.

    I went for the exact method KO bet. It was classed as a TKO because that chump threw the towel in just before Ruiz was about to get felled. Surely my luck has to change soon.

    Most bookies class the 2 as the same. I'd double check to see if you have won.
