Boxing Betting Line: Green 1000

Unnoticed: Paul Briggs

A educated kickboxer and boxer, Paul “The Hurricane” Briggs hasn’t – competed at the top elevation of his humour since knocking out Rupert van Aswegan in the 12th about of their bout in his home country Australia. The 34-year old had injured his ankle in the days leading up to his prevail in over Aswegan, and told reporters afterward that it was one of the toughest performances of his career. After returning to the ring for training, Briggs experienced several more problems, and after having tests done it was revealed that he had problems with his nervous system. Briggs found a way to deal with his mess, and planned a return to the ring, only to retire once more due to nagging issues. Now, back and as good as ever under a new trainer and at a lighter weight, Briggs make irrevocably hyperbolize his return against Green.

Background: Danny Green

Danny “The Green Machine” Green has been absolutely chief since last falling to Anthony Mundine back in 2006, winning eight straight fights including scoring five knock outs and an additional two technical knock outs. A power puncher that goes right after his opponent, Green has beaten names such as Roy Jones Jr. and Manny Siaca recently, and after a short-lived retirement in 2009, could not stay away from the ring as his competitive edge kept him wanting more. Danny Green has testified that he is in the best shape of his bounce, and intention have the edge of being more battle-tested as of late when he takes on Briggs.

The Matchup:

Desp ite Briggs’ career accomplishments, including wins in 26 of 29 career fights, the fact that he has been away from the sport for so lengthy while dealing with nagging injuries has to be a concern. Not even fearful system problems could keep him away from the ring, but Green has dropped better more experience opponents orderly quicker than Briggs before, and with a s ense of hubris on the line against his fellow Australian, Green should come not allowed on top as the ameliorate man.

Who is Arum Kidding? Pacquiao vs. Mayweather was Never On!

Aug 27 2010 in Boxing

Boxing Betting

And so, as expected by many boxing fans, Top-grade Rank promoter Bob Arum’s deadline for a Nov. 13th fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather came and went.

Was there any question that this was exactly what was going to happen?  Not really.  As soon as I heard that a fight had been “scheduled” for November 13th, I closely read what Bob Arum had said regarding the supposedly scheduled turn.

[Off topic: by the way, do you want to manoeuvre a 60% compensation on your first deposit here at BetUS? Find out more overwhelming details HERE.]

What Arum had said wasn’t that a fight had been “scheduled” but that a fight between his shackle, Manny Pacquiao, and somebody had been scheduled on Nov. 13th.  Arum had stated that, “Manny is accepted to figh t on November 13th.  If it’s not Floyd, then it wil l be big daddy else.”

That somebody else now appears to be either Antonio Margarito or Miguel Cotto.  Pac has already knocked out Cotto and Margarito is unlicensed in the U.S. because of a hand wrap blemish that occurred after his loss to Shane Mo sely in 2009.

Nothing cares who Pac fights, of course, unless the person he fights is named Floyd Mayweather.

Arum has no one to blame except himself.  He gave an interesting explanation on why the fight between Pac and Floyd won’t take transpire on Nov. 13th.  It was a want, somewhat rambling everyone, detailing how he “had never spoken” to anybody in Mayweather’s camp.  He had rightful spoken to Ross Greenburg, the President of HBO Sports.  Greenburg had asked if “Manny” would be interested in doing the fight.

Arum made a point over the weekend of saying that he just “assumed” that Greenburg was keeping Floyd’s camp involved because Arum had “never spoken” to anybody on the Mayweather side!  Yet he had gone winning and told everybody in the world that a encounter was scheduled for November 13th. 

This is getting side-splitting, isn’t it?  It sounds Arum, and possibly Greenburg, were trying to construct a fight between Pacquaio and Maywether and that there had never been nothing more than possibly initial conversations between Greenburg and Floyd’s ostentatious Who knows?  Maybe there hadn’t been any conversations between Greenburg and Floyd’s camp at all.

In any case, the fight isn’t on, but as Bob Arum said so succinctly in his babbling report to the media, “People should be understanding.  Floyd Mayweather is not saying that he will never feud with Manny Pacquiao and Manny Pacquiao is not saying he’s not active to fight.  There’s always next year.”

Sure, there’s always next year…unless there isn’t.  Floyd disposition have had a year under his belt as a professional boxer.  Manny will have had a year under his belt not only as a professional boxer but also as a politician in the Philippines.

A year can be an eternity in boxing.  The correctness is that the only two getting hurt in all of this are boxing fans and boxing.  The sport needs Floyd vs. Pac and they need it soon.

But they’re growing to have to wait for at least another year and let’s be ethical, the fight may never upon.

Diaz Looks For Different Result This Time Against Marquez – Boxing Betting

Aug 26 2010 in Boxing

Boxing Betting

Box ing bettors know that when they maxim Juan Diaz dueling with Juan Manuel Marquez last year, a rematch could be just as exciting, and now Diaz will look for a different result this time around when he battles Marquez with the WBO lightweight title on the line.

The fight is slated to operative put ones finger on on Saturday, July 31 at the Mandalay Bay Resource & Casino in Las Vegas, and will be televised via HBO pay-per-view. Marquez is the betting favorite at -140, with Diaz priced at +300. The over/under on the fight, scheduled for 12 rounds, is 9. 5 rounds, with the "over" at -220, and the "under" at + 175.

Insane topic: above all the way, do you want to rise up in the world a 60% hand-out on your earliest lay down here at BetUS? So go on YOKE NOW. ]

Boxing Betting

WBO Lightweight Title
July 31 — Las Vegas
JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ  -400
JUAN DIAZ  +300

Over 9. 5 Rounds  -220
Under 9. 5 Rounds  +175

Here is our betting analysis of the fight:

Juan Diaz scored big wins against Acelino Freitas and Julio Diaz, but then in 2008, things started to unravel benefit of him. Beginning he lost a split decision by Nate Campbell in which he looked like he wasn’t interested. Then he went punch-forpunch with Juan Manuel Marquez, and many boxing bettors were surprised when he was ahead by two points on one of the scorecards, but it was not to be, as an onslaught by Marquez out him out in – the ninth round. A pair of fights with Paul Malignaggi did not go well for him. The first, in his hometown of Houston last August 22, resulted in what many felt was a hometown settlement for him, then in December, he lost a unanimous decision by five points on all three scorecards. Malignaggi simply does not hit hard enough to be gifted to keep an effective, aggressive fighter off of him, but Diaz was simply outfoxed.

I have knowledge of a lot of bettors are expecting this fight to come down to who can take the most punishment. The last all together it was Marquez, and I d on’t separate that it devise change this time out. Diaz takes some very untainted punches, and I am not encouraged near those experiences against Malignaggi who should not have planned had enough force in his punches to keep, Diaz at bay.

United of the things about Marquez that serves him well as a betting proposition in this fight is that he has the capacity to beat Diaz either by being a boxer or a puncher, Ideally, of course, he’ll do both, but I think he knows by now that Diaz is not prevailing to outbox him, and necessity come out aggressively, but if he does that he plays into the hands of Marquez, who is the sharper, more accurate puncher.

I don’t know if we can say that Marquez is on the upswing, but I date Diaz’s stock dropping, and that is something boxing bettors should think alongside too. Marquez may be a 16-year pro who is 37 years of age, but he is even now complete of the better pound-for-pound fighters around. Some bettors may have gotten the idea that he is a "shot" fighter based on his performance against Floyd Mayweather, but frankly, I am willing to overturn out that confront, where he was poignant out of his weight class and out of his class, period. WAY out of his class, as a matter of fact. If you are the type who wants to handicap by comparison, consider that Marquez fought Manny Pacquiao on virtually even terms for two fights and was completely blown away in almost every round by Mayweather. I’m just sayin’.

Boxing Betting Odds – Mayweather vs Pacquiao

Aug 26 2010 in Boxing

Boxing Betting

It appears as though the fight all boxing fans secure been waiting also in behalf of is decisively on. Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather appear to be set to evade in the ring this November 13. And it’s never too early to communicate with your boxing futures bets in.

Floyd Mayweather (41-0, 25 KO’s) vs. Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KO’s)
Saturday, November 13
Betting Odds:
Mayweather: -150
Pacquiao: +120

This is the combination that boxing fans worldwide have been waiting for, and one that many bit would never happen. The two were routine to get into the ring last March 13, before discussions fell through because of drug testing. Mayweather insisted that Pacquiao- who has never failed a test- be submitted to stringent, “Olympic style,” testing that included taking urine and blood samples just days before the fight. This testing went exposed to and beyond that of the Nevada Boxing Commission’s standards, leading to Pacquiao withdrawing from the squabble.

Th ere is no withdrawing this in good time while, as it appears as the two sides have agreed in principle to this fight. Mayweather at rest has until – midJuly to officially sign on the dotted line.
If they are to get into the ring November 13, both are coming dippy convincing wins.

For Mayweather, it was a dominating, 12 course decision over Shane Mosley this past May 1. In the match, Mayweather withstood a barrage of early Mosley punches and a second round knock down, to regain his invent and dominate the halfway point rounds. He won a unanimous resolve.

As for Pacquiao, he took advantage of the open date last March 13 to faceoff with Joshua Clottey at the new Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, TX.

In the fight, Pacquiao battered and bruised the bigger Clottey, using his superior speed and hand strength, to win a unanimous decision of his own. The final scorecards read 120-108, 119-109 and 119-109.

So as these two get punctilio to meet wit h each other in the ring, who’ll have the advantage? Seemingly it’d have to go to Mayweather.

For s tarters, Mayweather has been in the ring more recently and against a tougher opponent than Pacquiao, when he squared off with Mosley last May. Despite having just turned 33, Mayweather looked half that lifetime, his superior quickness and hand speed unsurpassed to a one-sided bout with Mosley. There’s a reason Mayweather has the sobriquet “Pretty Boy. ” Even against an elite fighter with Mosley, he barely had a scratch on him.

As for the sake of Pacquiao, he’d come into this match with a size disadvantage, but would seemingly bring into the world one in strength. Just looking at his knockout record relative to Mayweather tells the story. While his opponent is a – much more technical boxer, the Pac Man goes for and gets- the consume shot more often than not.

More importantly than anything in the ring, the biggest ask would be Pacquiao’s focus outside of it. He recently won a seat in the House of Representatives in his native Philippines, so you’d honestly have to wonder how much he’s been thinking about boxing as of new.

Still, this boxing betting groupie says that the play here is Pacquiao. Yes he comes in a bit smaller, but would be the first fighter that Mayweather has faced in some time that can match him with speed, while punish him with bruising body shots. Mayweather wants to box and not get in a street brawl, which is exactly what the Pac-Man would make this.

He might be the underdog, but come November 13 there will be a restored king in boxing. Perform as serve as Manny Pacquiao your boxing futures bet today!

Aaron’s Pick: Manny Pacquiao +120

Odds are Posted, and Mayweather Opens as Favorite over Pacquiao

Odds are Posted, and Mayweather Opens as Favorite over Pacquiao

Boxing bettors have been waiting for one bout above all others, and they participate in been teased long enough, it seems, but according to reports, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are finally going to do battle, and the odds have been posted.

November 13 is the date that has been discussed as responsibility of the published reports, but a definitive date has not been finalized as of thus far.

Mayweather, who is 41-0 as a professional, opens as a betting favorite of -150, with Pacquiao (51-3-2) at +120.

* The rules of this regulation need that this bout take place before January 1, 2011.

Boxing Betting

Welterweights (exact weight not authorized

November 13 – Las Vegas

(projected date and venue – squabble must take place before January 1)

FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. -150

MANNY PACQUIAO +120

I entertain the idea this betting line is tenable. I would have had it closer to Floyd Jr. at -180/+140, because he has had a little more experience at the incline, but this is alright, because there is a factor here that is tough to calculate, and that is the ability of Floyd to wield the punches that will be coming at him from odd angles.

Pacquiao will do that to you, and that is something I’m not sure Mayweather has seen before. It is a lot more difficult for an orthodox fighter to deal with someone that is effectively unorthodox than it is the other crumple around.

Pacquiao is highly unorthodox, and I think he has demonstrated that he can stay in the same ballpark as Mayweather as far as speed is responsible.

Floyd was buckled by a slug that came from Shane Mosley in their recent bout, which made his betting backers very nervous. It was a punch he did not see coming.

Because Mosley is a boxer that is recognized in nature, that was the exception, not the precept, and Mayweather had little problem exacting an advantage on almost every round.

This is a different ballgame against Pacquiao, who will be coming with punches all the time that are designed so that Mayweather won’t see them. It’s kind of a hard thing to hold that a guy with 41 fights and titles in five weight divisions under his perform stridently hasn’t had his chin tested all that much, but that might just be the case with Pretty Boy Floyd.

He can get hit once by an opponent, but can he traffic with a ceaseless attack that might blast him with combinations, from a guy who can jump in and hop out in such a way that it makes it uncommonly difficult to chip?

Of course, the impossible to be asked by big fight boxing bettors is, can Manny Pacquiao deliver such combinations? There is no doubt that Manny has faced capable opponents over the last several years, but no one – and I mean NO ONE – he has faced is on the order of Mayweather when it comes to boxing ability, ring savvy and effective skedaddle.

You catch-phrase the enormous class difference that existed between Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez, against whom Pacquiao boxed a draw and won a split decision.

We have seen that Pacquiao has shown himself to be vulnerable to fighters with boxing ability, as Erik Morales showed late in Procession 2005 when he could still walk and talk at the same things.

Boxing Betting – Marquez A Big Favorite In The Rematch

Just over one year ago it took lightweight Juan Manuel Marquez nine rounds to drop Juan Diaz in a 12-round bout for the unified world lightweight championship belt. Now, more than 15 months later, the two stars head backtrack from to the ring for the tremendously anticipated rematch at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Marquez v Diaz II

Saturday, July 31, 2010

Mandalay Bay Alternative & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada

Boxing Betting Line: Marquez -400

Leading Up To Marquez vs Diaz II: Marquez 

One of the stars of Oscar De La Hoya’s Lustrous Boy promotions, Juan Marquez has won 50 of his 56 career fights, and is still competing at the highest level, yet at age 36. The present-day WBO and WBA lightweight champion has dismissed nearing every adversary that he has faced, with the only exception being the man Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. late model year with no titles on the line. The loss to Mayweather Jr. was an aberration for Marquez in any event, as the exclusive other fight he has lost in the past four years was against, coincidentally, boxing’s other biggest unrivalled Manny Pacquiao. Marquez persevered in the first fight these two had, and ultimately wore his opponent down, a strategy he is sure to return to as he looks to get back in to the success column.  

Influential Up To Marquez vs Diaz II: Diaz 

The winner of 35 of the 38 career matches that he has competed in, Juan “Baby Bull” Diaz remains one of the top lightweight boxers in the on cloud nine. His unorthodox style and punching power make him a difficult opponent for anyone to face, including Paul Malignaggi who learned just how rabid he was when those two went the distance, where Diaz was awarded the vacant WBO NABO light welterweight title in his hometown of Houston, Texas. Diaz needed to work on his conditioning and defense in order to face an rival just as quick and just as tough as he was, and now feels as though he is ready to capitalize in the tremendously anticipated rematch. 

Who Will Win This Tussle

It is difficult to see how Diaz has improved enough to take down someone as talented as Marquez. Despite the fact that the backer hasn’t had the wealthiest results over the past couple of years, those losses came against some of the best in the enterprise in Mayweather Jr. and Pacquiao. A talented force that combines speed with power like some of the elite fighters of his time, Marquez will likely finish the rematch the same way he did the initial bout, with his hands raised in the air as he is awarded the victory.

Pro Boxing Betting Futures Odds – Pacquiao, Mayweather Mega Fight Finally A Go?

Could it finally be pro boxing betting enthusiasts?

Are Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao finally going to seal the deal on their highly-anticipated fight for the ages?

Well, according to published reports, they could be.

And guess what boxing bettors?

The outdo news yet, is that boxing lovers everywhere can cash in long before the bout ever takes place thanks to the ingenious Boxing Futures Odds that have been posted for the proposed fight.

Boxing Futures Odds
Floyd Mayweather Jr. -150
Manny Pacquiao +120
Must Militancy Before Jan. 2001 for Functioning

Now, before I get too far ahead of myself, let me say that firstly and foremost, the fight is still not officially set.

While representatives for both fighters have reportedly come to an accord that would include a 50-50 split and some form of drug testing, Top Rank Inc. mentality man, Bob Arum said the bout is contingent of Mayweather’s approval.

The bout, which is schedule for Nov. 13 in Las Vegas, pits the two fighters that are widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound bxers on the planet today.

Arum told numerous media outlets on Wednesday that Mayweather would likely have until mid-July to make a decision while adding that Pacquiao has potential bouts with one of two top-notch fighters in Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito, lined up should Mayweather decline to fight the Philippine phenom.

Devoted boxing gamblers hand down have a stout selection on their hands should Mayweather agree to fight Pacquiao, for all that these two fighters are so different in their styles and personas, it’s probably not going to be hard to pick out one fighter over the other.

First, there is the God-fearing Pacquiao, a bracelets that is revered, not only in his native Philippines, but globally, for both, his boxing skills and his easy-going and likable celebrity.

Pacquiao, despite standing just a shade less than 5-foot-7, is a whirling dervish of power, speed and smarts that has compiled a stellar 51-3 itemize in a shoot spanning 15 years. The ‘Pac-Man’ hasn’t lost a bout in five years and clearly represents the biggest challenge to bringing an intent to Floyd Mayweather’s highly-publicized livelihood. Pacquiao has beaten Joshua Clottey, Miguel Angel Cotto, Ricky Hatton and Oscar de La Hoya over his last four fights.

 

Then there’s Mayweather, the boxer-turned-wannabe rapper/celebrity who has dismissed the accomplishments of diverse of the greatest boxers in the account of the sport, including the two men widely considered as the greatest pugilists at all, Muhammad Aki and Sugar Ray Robinson.

The loud-mouthed, bling-wearing Mayweather on tell anyone within shouting distance all about the virtues that have made him the greatest fighter to ever step in the squared circle, no essentials how foolish he sounds.

him or not, Mayweather does ‘have game’ and has compiled a spotless 41-0 record that Pacquiao – and a legion of Mayweather bashers – would love to get the drift come to an abrupt quit in this bout.

No matter which fighter you settle upon to back boxing gamblers, the current Boxing Futures Odds for this pairing are totally fantastic and don’t get any more bettor-friendly than they are right now.

Sure, this wrestle with may be months away from actually taking place, but I urge pugilistic bettors everywhere to jump all over these Futures Odds right now – no matter which boxer you like.
