    fight not go distance 11/8 betway that’s no good for me) but 5/4 freely available

    I would be all over Groves but for the shoulder injury, will have a small piece of 7/2 groves tko/ko/dis.

    Smith is unbeaten and could well be better than I give him credit for (hence the fight not to go, along with groves injury). Just his last two wins have given me enough doubts

    Look forward to Friday night, except for shelling out for another PPV, three weeks on the trot

    small bet on the Chinese light heavyweight tonight Fanlong Meng. This is a big step up for him(and he ‘aint the biggest puncher)but how much has the wise guy got left? the ko/tko/dis is available at 3s if a couple of books( i will have to settle for 11/4 as cant get on with the firms going the bigger price)
    Buglioni could well be to good but he has been in so many wars, can he go to the well again(if you believe yes then you could have a saver at 9/5 the stoppage,not for me though)

    Should be a decent fight to watch

    one last bet, just seen they have priced up the Lebedev group round betting. On the basis that its a huge step up for the 35year old unbeaten american (wilson) i will throw a few bob at the russian Lebedev to get him out of there between rounds 1-6 2s with skybet and 7/4 WH

    i was on early wilder at 13/8 KO/TKO/dis. Chatting with my son over the weeks (he goes round alot of the gyms) he is of the opinion Fury’s weight cutting may not be natural again, so he is sitting it out.
    I will stick with my bet,i dont think you can come back after that much body abuse and two pantomine warm ups. But i know my son is trying to turn me off it. lol

    whats your thoughts/brothers nath?

    My brother wasn’t that keen (bit like your Son).
    I’ve done Fury in a few very low stakes, big profit accas. Bruno was on the radio earlier making a case for him but believes with the weight loss and time out he’s up against it. I’ll set the alarm as it’s a fight I want to watch and will be cheering on Fury but not with a lot of optimism.

    This also isn’t one for me to get too involved in. Wilder is rightly favourite but you just never know with Fury do you? In three years he’s gained and lost the equivalent of about a lightweight/welterweight and beaten a couple of bums and still you can’t go big against him. Might have a bit of Wilder to stop him if I can find something to pair it with tomorrow.

    As much as they are a pain in the arse in some ways, I do like the 4/5am fights across the pond. Adds to the occasion I think. Although these days I have to leave the beer alone until about 2 or 3 :whistle: I’ll have to miss it unfortunately as I have other commitments slightly later on Sunday morning. Let’s hope that in the event that judges are needed they are slightly more competent than those employed in Las Vegas in recent times.
