    They robbed Carson Jones but a wins a win.

      A win is a win. I learned it the hard way and now always factor in factors like: who is the hometown fighter/cash cow, who has more pull to get his way regarding ring size, gloves size, referee, judges, etc.

      In a fair world, these factors shouldnt have to be taken into account, but this is boxing lol.

        That played a part in my thinking. Carson Jones away in Mexico is a loss to me especially because he's the away fighter and the way his career has panned out. Its sad because he really won but the decision went the other way.

              You called it when you made the bet though mate. Jones was away from home.

                    I don't see anything much I dig tonight. The under for Benavidez vs Gavril @ -195 doesn't seem like a bad idea as I'm really not thinking that fight will last THAT long whatever goes down.

                    Tomorrow I like Nunes (UFC) at +105. I was originally liking Shevchenko when they were originally scheduled to fight their rematch a month or so back, but a lot of the behind the scenes stuff have me convinced Nunes is better then when they first fought & will fight smarter with a potentially longer fight ahead of her that insure a W for her.

                    I think the two main fights on HBO tomorrow are pretty even-ish so due to the odds of Roman vs The Thai Guy thats for sure a dog or pass fight. And I don't see much value in going either way in the other fight cuz those odds are more or less pickem odds as they should be.

                    Randomly that Ryan Burnett fight next month that I really like & already threw money on was -240 & now its -325 so if anyone wants to get in on that they might need to do so quick before that line gets any worse & it might already be higher than most would wanna f#ck with unless they need a parlay lock or something.

                      Don't hate Ilir Latifi (+115) over Tyson Pedro tomorrow either on the UFC card.
