I just saw a number on Clay vs Cherry. It was -750/+450 favoring Cherry. Can anybody tell me anything about Clay because his record indicates he has never stepped up before and Cherry is no easy task for anybody. Is his team just getting him an espn shot with a decent payday or does he really have a chance? JK
They came back late on Spina. I layed -105 on him after it got bet down. It ended up closing higher than the opener. Would be interesting 2 see what the scorecards were. If it was 10 rd bout, Brinkley looked like a winner.............but I'd love to see the cards after 10 anyways.
I originally opened the Cherry bout -480/+400....but I pulled it offline. I started thinking thinking it was too high after talking to a couple contacts. This bout scares me bc the dog is relatively unknown , but trains with really talented guys. I will likely reopen it 2mmrow. I Dont think I will be as high as -480 though.
The announcers said the cards showed Brinkly ahead when the fight stopped. That was a pretty decent fight. I was not that impressed with Spina, as I put him on my bet against list, but he got the job done with tenacity.
Also, on that Cherry fight, it may be extremely difficult for Clay to get a decision from that FL Boxing Commission. Remember that judgement on Brown-Bell? That was the worst dec I saw all last year.
Broke even on Wed. stuff. Didn't even bother to watch. I am playing 2 units on Clay blind because I feel like a gamble. I mean why would Clay's people put him in there if he couldn't fight a step up. Cherry has shown that he becomes one-dimensional if he can't bomb a guy out and has been outboxed before so I'll take the chance. It seems stupid to bet fight when you only have data on one fighter but I've been playing too safe this week so I'm up for it. I agree that Pereira and Beyer as well is where the favorite money should go as they are the safer favs. Caught a glimpse of Bika and the guy is average with decent power but lame footwork; Beyer is average power with decent footwork. If I had a decent bankroll I would bet Beyer to steal some units.JK
Cherry certainly owned Monte Meza Clay. That was a very impressive performance. I had a feeling Cherry was going to have a good fight, but that line was way too long to lay. I had heard really good things about Clay, but the reach was too much to overcome. Cherry utilized it extremely well. It turns out, Joey had nothing to worry about with his opening line.
I?m pretty sure Spina landed more elbows, shoulders and headbutts than he did punches through the first 6 rounds. He was down 93-97 on two of the judge's cards and 94-96 on the other one when the fight was stopped.
