the question is, how much as macklin improved since sergio? a GGG KO would not be surprising. but GGG by 12 rd decision is +670
 
Latin Snake is done? I am not so sure jab.... What you see to lay 2-1 on this cat?

Mora's on the slide. He doesn't throw punches, and he makes Paulie look like Iron Mike. Proksa is slick in his own right, and really doesn't have much to fear in this fight as far as I can see. He's aggressive enough to take a decision, imo.
 
what else you eyeing bro?

Got a half unit on Crolla +220, and another half on Denton Vassell +220

Full unit on Vassell/Gavin u10.5 +220

Apparently I'm fading everything with a "Gavin" in it, and playing everything that's +220, lol.

For GGG/Macklin, I'm not real sure. I don't necessarily think that Macklin should be a 8.5/1 dog, but I'm not so sure he does anything in particular well enough to bother GGG. I mean, GGG is hittable, and Mack can bang a little bit, I guess. Ultimately, I think GGG's pressure is too much and he walks Macklin down and stops him late.

I might just throw a little bit on GGG in rounds 10-12 +672 and hope for the best. :)
 
Feel like everything in this GGG fight is priced right and I expect this is the fight that catapults him into the top ten of p4p fighters. Golovkin is a stone cold killer who's on a Matthysee like path of destruction to the lineal middleweight title. Macklin is a tailor made match up for GGG: he doesn't back down, comes in ready to bang every fight, wants to hit you twice after you hurt him, and probably feels his best way to victory is to get in and land something big. I love the way Macklin fights, and his heart is unquestionable, it's just not going to be a good night for him when he gets touched in an exchange with GGG.

Mallanagi made a great point a few weeks back after the Matthysse v Peterson fight, in that, when Lucas touches you its like a bomb going off. I think it's exactly the same with GGG. Watch the Proksa fight again, here is a dude who'd never been down and GGG drops him with a jab. He sent Ishida (I know, 154), a guy who's never been stopped, home in an ambulance. Golovkin has that same scary kind of power Matthysse has, he's just better everywhere else, except for maybe his chin, which we've never seen truly tested. Golovkin claims he's never been hurt in his entire boxing career, which to me seems crazy, but up to this point it's hard to argue because we've seen zero evidence to the contrary. I hope Macklin does land some big shots in this fight so we can see just how good Golovkin's chin is.

Anyway, enough of my Golovkin stroke job, one thing I can guarantee, this fight will be extremely entertaining.
 
You saw the shiner GGG was sporting not long ago? No one knows who gave it to him, but it was sparring

Yep

Hey I am on the GGG train and have a first clas seat lol

Just looking for how to play it....
 
I'm really warming up to Golovkin win in rd 7-12 prop @ +172 on 5dimes. I definitely think Macklin will be tough enough to take this fight into the middle rounds but at some point GGG will walk him down and catch him with that right hand. Round 7-12 win IMO is GGG's most likely road to victory. 5dimes disagreeing with a 1-6 prop of +120.
 
Good stuff, fellas.

I'm interested in finding out about GGG's chin, too. I'm just not so sure he deserves to be as big a favorite over Macklin, as Sergio was.

It took some time, but Matthysse made a believer out of me. Maybe this is when GGG does, too.
 
half on Denton Vassell +220

Full unit on Vassell/Gavin u10.5 +220

Vassell lost. Under got there. Strange ending. Vassell had a broken jaw, said he wanted to continue fighting, even said that it didn't hurt. They made him stop anyway.
 
Fucking Guzman. Weighed in at 148.2 for a 140lb fight. What a complete waste.
My most hated fighter. Period.

Go the fuck away. You are a complete piece of shit and no one likes you. You pick to fight the shittiest guys who need the check when you blow weight..EVERY. FUCKING. TIME.

I hope something bad happens to you in the ring, because you do not respect the sport, so it shouldnt respect you back
 
How in gods name did teddy give rd 4 to mora? Dude didn't throw a punch for literally a minute of the last half of the rd. Fight heating up now. Mora def won 5, I have it 3-2 Proksa.

I think they threw him off the card, this time.

yeah fight off i think i saw:shake:

hate that fucker

I also lost a bet in a fight involving him vs Ali Funeka when both blew weight, and one tested this and that...ughhhhh

I never bet fights early anymore until I see the weigh in jab.....since that fight
 
For sure Jab, I have it even through 6. Proksa easily hitting mora when he gets in he's just doing his jackass Roy Jones Chicken fighting impression. Just get in and bang Mora.
 
Seriously...when Sergio fucking Mora is landing the harder shots, you need to reevaluate your fight plan.
 
Almost as bad as Banks did. Even throwing out my drunken Haymon fixed rant. This is a Banks like effort here mother fuck.
 
Eh. With that under hitting earlier it doesn't hurt as much, but I hate thinking that I missed an opportunity here.
 
Didn't see that Twink. Was it some kind of Boxingscene.com fluff?
forget the dude i follow on twitter but it was pic of him somewhere

i know boxing is days of our lives SOB lol, but he had a lil raccoon eye for sure...looked recent at the time

but like u said...
