    Pick the winners

    If you had a multi bet on with these fights who you picking:

    Wlad vs Joshua
    Canelo vs Chavez
    Brook vs Spence
    Kovalev vs Ward



    I'd pick Joshua, Canelo, Brook, Ward & I wouldn't be confident at all about it, some close match ups.

    Also, how much money would you be willing to risk on your bet (hypothetically).

      Same as you m8 - and also with minimal confidence. I probably wouldn't even throw a tenner at it to be honest cos the probability of getting all four right is very slim and the rewards ain't great either.

        Took the words outta my mouth mate, I've got:
        Josh vs Wlad as 60/40
        Canelo vs chavez 70/30 (but a sneaking su****ion Chavez could do it)
        Brook vs Spence is a legit 50/50
        Ward Vs Kov is a 50/50 but I feel like Ward will get the W even if it's close.

          Yeah bout right, but even then assigning even an approximate winning chance to each fight is a dicey affair cos in each case there's a lotta uncertainties

          Is Joshua packing glass? Is Klitschko shot and/or rusty?
          Will Jr be drained?
          Can Spence handle the jump in levels / Will Brook be drained or eye damaged?
          Judges? Which way will they jump?

              Joshua, Chavez, brook, kovalev and I'd probably throw a 50 on it for a nice payday

                I'm not that confident on most of these fights, Canelo seems the safest of the bunch, the others are a bit closer.

                    I feel more confident about Canelo & Spence then the other two fights. Although I do feel pretty confident about them to.

                    In a parlay I might play around with boxing my bet like in horse racing to ensure a W, but just making a straight bet on the favs here 3x's your money so that isn't a bad outcome for guys I'm all fairly confident will win cuz the fights look solidly towards the fav in every case to me.

                    AJ is on the rise, can punch & Klitschko is old, didn't look good last time out & has been out awhile now.

                    Canelo is looking great vs bs opponents & JCC Jr is still a bs opponent who's not taken his career as seriously as anyone since Butterbean maybe & gotten as big as he's gotten.

                    Spence has been looking the part of the next big thing for a minute & Brook is coming off of an assbeating where he needed to get steel implanted into his face & is making the often bad move of gaining weight only to lose it immediately afterwards. And its not the typical one division, he did a two division jump up, jump back down.

                    Ward already beat Kovalev once, history says usually the same guy wins the rematch only easier.

                    So all in all the guys who are the fav here should be the favs & while its not always easy to expect 4 fights to go like you'd expect them to go I like these favs quite a bit despite the relatively close lines in 3 of the 4 fights.
