even money to start round 2 seems too easy. However, I don't know anything about these guys other than the information from boxrec.com.

Minto is 30-2 with 19 KOs. He has won 4 of his last 6 fights with 1st round KO/TKO, though the opponents had 13, 7, 7 and 7 losses each. Last four fights against guys with lower loss totals he lost, 6 KO, UD, UD.

Poore is 20-2 with 18 KOs, was KO 1 once and his last KO1 was 4 years ago.

Anyone know anything about these guys?

Poore is basically a Journeyman foghter that fights locally in PA. He has never fought anyone one of note, let alone a Top 10 contender. He is not big for a heavyweight and has very little power. He was selected for Minto to put on a bit of a show before knocking him out.

Minto is essentially an ESPN creation. He has fought mostly on their Friday Night fights show. He has decent power but is not big for a heavyweight. to give you an idea of how highly regarded he is, his world rank is 42, just above Holyfield, 43 year old Oliver McCall (who hasnt fought in a year) and behind Ruiz, Rahman and Golata.

Minto is a fun fighter to watch on ESPN but is not really a talented fighter. He will win this fight by a knockout, but probably after a three or four round beatdown.

If the idea is to get him into the top 10 and fight for a title then he will have to show something more then a first round KO of a tomato can fighter. I expect him to show off some of his skills over the first 3 or 4 rounds and then turn it up notch for a KO

Safe bet to take the start round 2 bet

Look at the line now - someone pounded the Round 2:

Wed 7/2 121 Minto/Poore starts round 2 -175
9:45PM (EST) 122 Fight won't start round 2 +135

I may take the +135 now...

 

[go2guy]

Minto wins no doubt but I don't know about the prop bet. Minto is not the type to come out swinging for the fences unless his opponent do then BAM! I've since him move and jab a few times the fights I've seen. Good luck anyway

It was probably my post that moved that line :lol:

 

[fhmesq44]

Thanks guys. Actually it moved before that post. Possibly was an off line, I first saw it at -180 to go to Round 2, then logged back in, saw the +100, then 10 minutes later it was back to -170. Who knows.

 

[DennizdaMenace]

I am sick of boxing after that bald headed asshole Joe Cortez robbed me of a huge parlay last week with one of the most crooked decisions in boxing history

 

[fhmesq44]

Damn, knew it was too good to be true.

[MrCleo]

im thinking of betting this Poore guy can withstand the onslaught for 3x rounds, but looking at past fights for Minto a lot of his opponents haven't been able to do that


this poore guy hasn't had a fight outside of Philly in 5years

 

[MrCleo]

well he hasn't had a fight outside of PA/NJ/DE ever. and has fought some real bums. looks like Minto should make quick work of him. hence the u3x line chalky

 

[Cusipz]

+250 now, I took a small piece of the Under2, we'll see.

 

[MattRain]

I'm in on the under, any guy fighting a tomato can on ESPN2 will swing for the fences in round 1.

 

[Cusipz]

+250 now, I took a small piece of the Under2, we'll see.

That was quick...

:aktion033 :drink:

 

[MattRain]

Weeeeeeeeeeeee! ope:

 

[go2guy]

Close fight LOL. He brought it to Minto hence a slugfest in which Poore didn't stand a chance.

 

[Cusipz]

The line was right at the top of the thread, lol.

Glad I got +250 for it instead. Thanks for the thread, would not have even looked at this.
