So the fight is starting in a couple of hours, and i cant decide whether to bet on Makabu by KO or just being the winner.
Ive been following Makabu for a while and hes definetly the real deal, has a good chin, big power, creative angles. His weaknesses are that he is such a slow starter and he gets hit pretty easy.
In his last fight little over a year ago he KOd Thabiso Mchunu, who is alot better then Bellew and Mchunu has a similar style to Mayweather and is very tricky and awkward
To add to that Makabu seems like a very confident guy, and Bellew wont intimidate him at all, Makabu has been waiting for this oppurtunity for a long time, which is why i think he was so light on the scales (196.8 lbs) cause the dude is a beast in training, kinda like Bradley in the way he almost overtrains for fights, meanwhile Bellew looked flabby and in worse condition then his last fight vs Masternak
Who will you be betting on? as i see it, Bellew's only chance of winning is by getting an early KO between round 1-3, after that its too late, Makabu is a slowstarter and adjust as the rounds go by, and hes arguably stronger in the later rounds then the beginning, he has supreme conditioning and stamina.
So it wont be the case of Anthony Crolla vs Ismael Barroso, where Barroso was completely gassed halfway thru, Makabu will be looking to chop Bellews head off later in the fight, and if Bellew got pimpslapped by Adonis i dont see no way in hell he can beat Makabu
He told us all he carried power, and we didnt believe him.
That was sick as ****.
I lost money and i dont even care. Thats how impressed i am
I lost 250$ and im sad as hell
Great win for Bellew i guess, he finally gets to be champ, and i get to stay away from online betting for a while
Damn im so nervous, got money on Makabu, thankfully tho Bellew looks flabby, so Makabu just need to survive the early rounds then its gonna be good night for Bellend
damn everyone has money on Bellew hopefully it doesnt go to the cards. I think Makabu is going to hurt him like Adonis Stevenson
DAmn Makabu looks like a bodybuider

Ye im pretty sure its the next one, they were doing the handwraps before this fight so theyre prolly warming up now
Thanks I've been patiently waiting for a while

Surprised that there's not a dedicated boxing betting thread on the forum.
