What happens to Fimo?

I would think in my mind Teo wouldn't fight Tank the same way he fought Kambo, showing no respect for his punches

 

Not much to take from their sparring. Teo was a baby, but Tank was essentially a kid himself.

Tank's better and being less cuttable might be the difference.

Davis carries his power for all 12 rounds, it should be noted.

 

I've watched multiple video of Haney supposedly working on his power. I know you can improve your technique and learn to put snap on your punches but power is something you're born with. You got to have something to work with. I agree how can athletic looking guys like Haney and Stevenson be so feather fisted. You can say what you want about Floyd being boring and elusive but a prime 130 Mayweather could knock you the fuck out.

 

It seems Teofimo still can bang in the late rounds. He did hurt Kambosos and Nakatani late.

I don't think Tank is better than the version of Teo who fought Loma, but I honestly doubt we'll ever see that version again.

 

davis could just as easily been stretched. afterall, whatever mistakes lopez made, he did get his shots in. against kambos, they just didn't get the job done. but against davis, maybe they do.

 

One would certainly think so. It's just really easy to picture Teo getting the better of Davis, becoming overconfident and getting blasted with a single shot.

 

Quite possibly. I hope you're wrong, but if that's the case he won't have a long career, particularly now if he has to go up in weight.

 

Yeah, i can certainly see that. It's no certainty one way or the other. I guess i just see Davis as being more dangerous when hurt than vice versa. They both have the potential to wreck the other which makes it a compelling matchup.

 

You can definitely work on your technique, speed-strength, explosiveness and timing which leads to a harder punch. I can't imagine any non S&C coach knowing how to do it right though.

Floyd was awesome at 130.

 

Would have been a totally different fight if it was Davis instead of kambosos

Different game plan, different preparation

 

Fimo still has to tighten his D, regardless.

Of course it would have been a different version of him if he was preparing for Davis. But even on his game, he's a bit too hittable for my liking.

 

2022 will tell us everything we need to know about Lopez.

Ideally, I would like for him to have two fights at 140 before he challenges Taylor - a soft touch, and then maybe a guy like Barboza, or even Ramirez. If he has one soft touch, then straight to Taylor, it's a gamble. But on second thought, fighting Ramirez would be a gamble, and might blow the Taylor fight.

Maybe Lopez at 100% can beat Taylor - I mean, it's not like Taylor is Jones/Floyd level good. He can be beaten.

But if Taylor thrashes him, then Fimo's career is in tatters.

 

Id pick Lopez by KO over Davis, especially since he's moving up and the only way the fight happens now is at 140.

Ive been saying since he beat lomachenko there was nothing left for him at 135 unless it was an immediate fight with Davis or Garcia. really foolish for his team to have him stick around cuz some mickey mouse start up promotional company overbid on a meaningless fight.

 

Fimo has become pretty goddamn unlikable following this loss. He's bordering on losing me as a fan. He really is a fuckin punk.

 

He became intolerable since the loma win

 

His dad.... Every interview the guy just talks utter BS. TREES, apples...

 

Nah, now its Fimo being an ass independent of his dad.

 

Does anyone buy that "air in chest, life or death" story? I certainly don't.

 

Air is supposed to be in your chest

 

No.

What turned me off was the him hopping on IG saying to his fans, "What have YOU guys accomplished? What pressure are YOU guys under?"

Like dude, millions of every day joe blows are under enormous pressure, and we don't get paid like world-class athletes.

Stop whining like a bitch. Just give Kam credit, and move on with your career.

This guy is whining like his pussy is hurting him.

 

Dudes got paid £400 a week to shell out £50 on his shit ass so he can lose and insult them.

The fighters have never been further from the fans than they are now.

I didn't even watch his fight. I wasn't under any pressure to watch his fight

 

Exactly. To that first paragraph.

 

This is exactly what I thought.

 

They're not bright, that Team Fimo.

Kugan Cassius should interview them and get the BRUTAL HONEST TRUTH out of them.

 

"I don't wanna make excuses, but I almost died. I fought with blood in my veins."

 

"and there was oxygen in the blood, more than I'm comfortable with"..

 

Cut the kid some slack, he nearly died

 

So lads, now I'm 18 I'm thinking of making a bit of cash from my predictions. I get enough of them right to make a few quid on the side so I need some recommendations for betting apps.

@Irish any suggestions?

 

Well I picked Joshua to beat Usyk

The best advice I could give is tgat at a certain level, boxing is basically bent. Not in the worst way, but by a margin. Forexame:-

Last night, Shamooz was a huge favourite until the bookies realized that he was losing to Skeete. Suddenly the guy was 3-1 underdog.

He should have been DQd but he wasn't. Why? Cos Warren promotes him and he's protected. He's a hype monster. If he's DQd it's mucho embarassing.

If you're going to place bets, place them on certain outcomes after the fight has begun and then as somebody who knows a thing or two more than the average punter, use that to gain an angle.

So when Shamooz dropped to 3-1 underdog, that was the very first time that any money was justified going on him.

In stocks they call that "backing the dip". In other words it is the perceived "dip" in value that suddenly makes a thing worthwhile to you, the experienced observer.

Deep in a hole, Shamooz suddenly gets his ass in gear and then has the promotion clout to avoid the DQ.

Don't put money on something that's 1/9. Don't put £1000 and think "it's an easy £100". BET THE DIP.

I didn't put a cent on Hamilton today until he was 6/5. Betting at 1/3 is for clams.

By corollary the inverse is almost always true. A bet- a big enough bet, that is- on Skeete to win on points would have been paying dividends by the 7th round.

Cashing out then makes you some money. If he goes on to win, you don't lose, you just don't win as much.

Boxing is a sport in which ideally you can back BOTH and expect to win.

I don't agree with placing bets before a fight. I believe Yarde was a better bet after 3 with Arthur than he was before he started.

Especially to win by KO in under 6,7 rounds.

I think that's where the best opportunities are, really. You bet on a specific outcome which, after a few rounds. you can see as a viable option but to most others woulf be obscure.

Take, for example, Slow Joyce vs Daniel Dubious.

Joyce winning by KO after a few rounds seems totally out of bounds. But then DDD.... he's got a bit of an eye swelling and his coach is CLEARLY heard telling him that "this is the pros, it's going to be hard, not supposed to be easy", or words to that very effect.

Now, that suggests a bit of a problem in the Dubious Dan corner, and that's when you need to row in on the action.

Remember, you don't need to let it go to its conclusion.

You only need to get in and cash out in the right order.

Always look to cash out. I cashed out my £20 on United to win today COS asll I wanted was £10 profit to cover my loss on Liverpool. (I went in on Wolves at 16/1 with 5 mins left. My plan was if Wolves won, I'd be compensated, and I'd get it back on "sure thing" United vs Palace today)

I could have gotten 7/1 at best on Wolves at the outset. But I backed the dip given that they were more likely to score a late winner than an early winner.

Smartest thing to do is watch some live fights with your bet365 account open beside you, put no bets on. Just watch the fight and watch odds change as fights proceed.

 

For software try BetFair. It allows you to "make a market" against other betters. There's a lot of guys out there "oh yeah I watch the fights".... who don't

You're basically betting against them that something will ("backing") or won't ("laying") happen.

For straight betting I use BET365 mainly because of ease of use.
