Pretty obvious that the promoters got the result that they wanted

Other girl would’ve had to knock Taylor out to win

Yeah DZN commentators absolutely shocking with the hyperbole also.
Infuriating thing for Cameron is ideally may 3rd fight should be in her backyard but unfortunately she is not a proven ticket seller so it will be in Ireland again which means she once gain will have to absolutely dominate her to get the call.

The bout involving the Australian girl for some interim title on the undercard was a terrible advertisement for boxing

Neither girl could fight at all but undoubtedly got a good payday for other reasons

Skye Nicholson!

She is young so can't totally write her off but yeah she will need to be very carefully managed and chatter about her against Serrano? LOL.

Rest of the card was not much to excite, Gary Cully isn't very good although the Donovan lad might have something.

Their was 2 awful heavyweights on the card who put on a howler.

Katie wants to fight in Croke Park,,,,LOL absolutely zero chance that will be allowed by the government and the Irish police no matter how much Eddie Hearn begs for it. :laugh:

Not a Canelo hater at all, but yeah he needs to swerve Benavidez for the rest of his career. :laugh: :laugh:
Not a fan of Canelo but not a hater either

If he retired today, he’d go down as a great BUT something about his personality just rubs me the wrong way plus there’s a couple of big * on his resume

I will be surprised if he fights Benavidez next for a few reasons

He doesn’t need him to make big $, gut tells me he’d hate to give him a chance and the risk isn’t worth the reward anyway

Jury is out on Benavidez but Captain Obvious here, if he can hurt Canelo, his work rate could cause him real problems

Yeah she didn't slip as her feet were planted on impact. I don't think it was a genuine knock down tho, a tough one to call.

Conlan definitely needs to retire

Gill is bang average and not exactly a knockout merchant and anytime he connected Conlan was in bother. He has three crushing defeats in the last 2 years so yeah he is done.

At least he made some money and his fight with Wood was an absolute war.

Doubt anyone bar the hardcore will care, but quite excited by Bam v Edwards this weekend, even if I can't see any path for Sunny to win!

Good fight, Edwards dismantled but no shame to losing to an elite fighter like Bam.
So next week the big card!

Squash matches galore!

Hrgovic will win very early , bar the money pointless fight for him.

Bivol will win very easily, late finish or an emphatic UD.

Zorro is basic enough, Jai will get him out early enough .

Dubois v Miller is interesting enough, Dubois has few impressive wins but think he should be able to spark out Miller. Nor surprising though the odds for Miller have got shorter since announced, at 4.5 (7/2) its worth a nibble.

Wilder should spark out Parker easily enough.

AJ will win by late finish or more likely UD. Wallin is decent enough but Joshua different level I think.

Not bothered about the other 2 fights tbh.

Some thoughts

- AJ will destroy Wallin. Styles make fights and I don't see Wallin as being as skilled or mobile as Usyk, and he doesn't have enough power to keep him off. I suspect AJ will stop him with a left hook to the body in round 5.

- Kabayel may upset Makhmudov. I know he looks scary but I'm not super high on Makhmudov.

- Think Dubois beats Miller relatively easily.

- Parker is a shot fighter who has basically just been looking for paydays since the AJ fight. He is going to sleep.

The fight from a betting POV that sticks out is Miller v Dubois.

Miller was 5.0 or so when it opened but money has came for him.

I see some bookies are now 2.5 aka 6/4 Dubois to win by KO/TKO,,,,,I know he is a hype job somewhat but his CV is still more impressive than Millers recently so while its not something to bet your wages on it does seem tempting.

Admittingly it is a ten round fight, but Dubois will connect with him easier than he did Usyk and does Miller have the chin of a Joyce? Eh no.

I still want to charge a bet, to do this I’ll look at best casino sites in india , choose the platform with the best conditions for the game and place it.
Chances of Miller being cut:

The fact that Miller's odds have dropped from 5.0 to 2.5 suggests there has been an influx of money in his favor. This may be due to several factors such as:
Underestimating Du Bois: Du Bois has a reputation for being influential but inconsistent. Some bettors might think Miller can weather the early storm and capitalize on Dubois' potential fatigue later in the fight.
Miller's Experience: Miller is a seasoned veteran with a longer and more varied combat history than Dubois. This experience could be seen as an advantage, especially in a 10-round fight.
Value Betting: At odds of 2.5, Miller could be seen as a good value bet for some, offering potentially higher returns than Dubois at 6/4.

Potential Dubois Knockout:

While Dubois is known for his striking power, it is important to remember that he did not always land KO/TKO punches. His recent loss to Usyk showed that he can be outboxed and fought against technically skilled opponents.
Miller, despite his questionable chin, has never been knocked out. He has experience recovering from knockdowns and going the distance.

General:

The fight is definitely intriguing from a betting standpoint as both fighters have their own strengths and weaknesses.
While Dubois may be the favorite on paper, Miller's experience, potential underdog value and improved form could make him a tempting option for some players.
Ultimately, the outcome will depend on various factors, including each fighter's strategy, physical fitness and ability to withstand the pressure of a big fight.

Hope you had some pennies on this, he was 6/1 or so pre , Makh looked really bad .

Jai is great, hopefully he gets someone good next time, Hrgovic? Nothing to be said really, opponent absolutely pointless.
