I haven't bet Loma yet. it's a clear gap in skills and I think he should be able to do pretty much what he wants to but George is tough and has sat down much bigger opponents. Loma is a slow starter and can lack killer instinct, it will have to be 1 way traffic for rounds at a time for the ref to jump in I think. Unsure on the bet, still thinking

He still got it despite his age. The last liver shot sealed his win. I didn't bet which I regret as I doubted Loma. I trusted Lewis though.
Who we got this weekend gents?
Usyk/Fury. I think usyk is the better boxer, have bet him, but fully expecting the judges cards to go to Fury and many claim 'robbery' after. It'll be close either way

I have Usyk +100.
I think Usyk is the better boxer with better foot and head movement.
I meant to say i think usyk is the better boxer but cant help but feel fury will get the close cards.

Is Briedis a dumb bet at +450?
I feel like this is his career fight the layoff might have helped with the miles on him but is he done and getting one last paycheck??

Careers going in different trajectories. First fight was close but Jai being young should have improved since

I think we can ignore Fury's performance against Ngannou, he has always fought down to the level of his opposition and there's no way he prepared properly for that one. He's visibly in much better shape now than then.
It's possible Fury has gone over the hill due to his lifestyle but Usyk is 37 and didn't look all that great against Dubois.
I've always thought Fury would just be too big for Usyk because unlike Joshua he can maintain range with his jab and then hold and tie up effectively at short range to then lean on the smaller man. Joshua took plenty of rounds off Usyk and Fury is a better boxer than AJ.
So I think Fury by decision assuming both are a little post-prime, if either is fully post-prime then he loses but that's hard to gauge as both have been inactive and are getting older.

Anyone taking Kovalev at + money this weekend?
Small bet, yeah. Opponent has beaten nothing but cab drivers so if Kov has anything left he'll have value at +$
