I'm staying with the draw. Gut feeling, if most likely leading to the umpteenth wrong pick/bet

[SteveM]

Feeling that blowing of your wad early, eh?

kind of - but also ... i'm always surprised that so many don't use their multipliers - I mean, unless you are going to pick the favorite for every fight - in that case it makes sense. But if you are picking the dog early on on the competition then you must think he's in with a chance - and if that's the case, show some conviction and back with a multiplier - for me it's a head-scratcher to see people with 5 out of their 6 multipliers going into the last weekend

Yeah, I don't know if they are forgetting to use them or if they're saving them for a better opportunity that never comes.

Eubank was barely over the limit. If he didn't drain down too much to get where he is, he shouldn't re-hydrate too much.

I think more the latter - but who knows - only they can say

Even if he rehydrates over 170 (the 10lb limit) he 'only' gets a £1 million fine - off of a 10 million purse - so losing 100k for the egg slap, 500 k for missing weight and 1 million for missing the 170 rehydration level - he still would earn 8.4 million - if he does all that he 'out-Ryan's' Ryan

[NC Uppercut]

NC Uppercut
CBS, late ko
Riley, mid KO
London, close decision
Benn, mid KO, x2
Smith, mid KO

Nah, the only way to out-Ryan Ryan is all that and get busted for gear too.
