where do you get + 380 for dec krasniqi ?

way to high.
I believe Whitaker will catch him but Luan has a very good chance to win this fight if he survives the first half of the fight.
But he sure as hell will not ko withaker though you get 380 for a pick em fight.
it is 290 now at 5dimes and that is still good value.

I'm getting mixed reviews on the Krasniqi-Hoffman fight, some are saying Krasniqi deserved to win, others are saying Hoffman used his jab well and deserved at least a draw.

What was your take on that fight?


Btw, Whitaker has a decent jab, but not a great one. He uses it some, but not a lot. He does many things well, but nothing great. His best assets are his size and power.

I expect Whitaker to use Brewsters strategy for the first few rounds, since he's basically in the same situation Lamon was last week. The crowd will be onesided and the judging will be bias, he knows that and so does Goosen. He will put pressure on Kras early for sure.

The kicker here is obviously Kras' chin, if he can take Whitakers punch for the first few rounds I think he'll be fine. Whitaker has a tendancy and history of being lazy, and while I expect him to be in very good shape, if he is overly aggressive in the beginning he will definitely fade late in the fight. A man of that size can only keep a fast pace for so long.

I thought Krasniqi won but he fought very stupid and wanted to show of and Hofmann really busted him up with his jab. I believe Krasniqi is at his best when he is moving alot and countering.

I have bet the limit on Krasniqi not inside the distance. If Krasniqi is trading he is the one going down only scenario i see is withaker totaly gassed and falling from fatigue but not likley. He went 12 rounds before and he is pretty light at 254. But Krasniqi at 380 is just a great bet.
Krasniqis chin is not bad but if whitaker lands clean Kras is going down, i hope Withaker is putting his punches together and not trying to land single power shots because thats to simple for luan.

Kransiqi weighed in 5 lbs lighter than the Hoffman fight, proving his claims that he took Hoffman lightly and didn't train properly for the fight.

Kras claims he's taking Whitaker and this opportunity very seriously, the 5 lb loss confirms it.

If Kras wins by technical decision due to a cut by headbutt, or if Whitaker gets cut by a punch and Kras wins by tko, you would lose the "not Kras inside distance" prop.

Just a heads up

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Tensions ran high today in Stuttgart, Germany as heavyweight contenders Lance Whitaker and Luan Krasniqi weighed in for Saturday’s WBO title elimination bout. "I’m gonna knock him out today, I’m not gonna wait "til tomorrow," said Whitaker following a heated exchange between the two heavyweights, which was touched off when the no-nonsense Whitaker declined a handshake from Krasniqi after the ritual stare down for photographers. The Germany-based Yugoslavian responded by pushing the 6-8 Californian, touching off a scuffle that was eventually broken up by members of Team Whitaker and security. Needless to say, both fighters are primed and ready for Saturday’s showdown at the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle in Stuttgart, which will determine the mandatory challenger for WBO heavyweight champion Lamon Brewster. Whitaker weighed in at a ready 253.5 pounds; Krasniqi weighed in at 224.9 pounds.[/font]


A small play on Whitaker inside distance might be a good hedge afterall

Tony...what happened?

Glad I originally played Krasniqi straight

The decision prop cancelled out some of the winnings

Thats what I get for being greedy

 

[boxlocks]

4-1 this week

5-1 if you count my original play on Krasniqi straight

As mentioned above, Castaneda Jr and the Chavez-Hernandez over 11.5 were VERY big plays

And all were posted BEFORE the fights went off, resulting in...

Fucking disaster thats whats happened.
Krasniqi totaly took him apart from the start i believe he landed over ten right hands and than took him out with one shot in the six.
Withaker is totaly clueless about defence. Believe me Krasniqi was as surprised as i am that fight was so easy he that he never thought he wins via stoppage.
Sorry that i drag you along for this on.

Sorry that i drag you along for this on.

No apology needed, I played the decision prop based on my own opinion and due to the extremely high opening number

Like everyone else, I didn't think Kras could stop Whitaker and the + money was too good to pass up. You just backed up my play and I always appreciate your input. No one saw this coming, especially not me, I'm just lucky the straight bet was on the board before the decision prop, saved me some cash.
