Value Bet Of The Weedend=== Carl Froch +150

How can you lay 8-5 on the one dimensional boxer when they are very close in class & ability? I Can't! Froch is an underrated boxer who understands distance & the power of a good stiff jab to dictate & control that distance. Abraham will likely give away the 1st 7 or 8 rounds by playing mostly defense & fighting for 40 seconds of each early round. He seems to have made a habit of this questionable strategy. Not a great way to impress the neutral judges IMO. Abraham also has the mindset that he can end the fight at any time, with one big punch. He can, but against world class opponents, this may not be the best plan of action, even if it has worked in the past against inferior opposition. Abraham is always dangerous late, but by that time he may be so far behind on the scorecards that he might over-commit to his power punches & leave himself open to a counter shot. Bottom line...... Abraham is not a busy enough fighter to warrant him being such a substantial favorite against the crafty Froch. I made Froch a small favorite when the fight was 1st announced. Nothing has happened since that time to make me change my mind. I'll take the busier & smarter boxer & hope to avoid a late hail Mary bomb. GLTU!!

Carl Froch +150     5 Units

Froch in my humble opinion will need to thoroughly dominate the fight to win on points. I just cannot see this happening..

If this fight goes to points it will be close and the value is with the 'hometown' fighter. I think when you consider all the variables in this fight the REAL value is with AA.

Let's get a little greedy & press with Marquez inside the distance +115 for 2 Units in the late HBO bout.

What I learned from that fight was

1. Marquez is among the best 20 fighters to ever lace up the gloves.

2. Tomorrow I start to drink my own urine.


PS........ Having said that=  Marquez will NEVER beat Pacman at this point in his career. This kid came straight in making himself an easy target. Pacquiao will use angles & is just Too Fast for Marquez of hand & foot. Anything Under 3-1 is a steal IMO.
