very good line up of fights this weekend with plenty of betting action to be had. I've had a less than confident punt on Burns as already discussed, not much else on that card really. Anywhere around evens John Murray to stop Simpson would be worth a punt, the game Simpson surely too small again. Also wondering whether Appleby is worth a go at around 3/1 against (yawn) Scotty Cardle, although again size might be a factor.
Stieglitz - Abraham on boxnation is another interesting one, think Stieglitz took most of us by surprise the way he battered Abraham last time. Abrahams run at 168 has been a bit of a disaster and he's looking pretty done now but I'm still going to be checking the ko prices when they come out...far from convinced by Stieglitz still and think an Abraham without the eye injury will always potentially have the power to trouble him.
Over in the states the Chavez Jr-Vera rematch is a decent appetiser for the main event, what condition and even weight Chavez turns up in is anyones guess as usual. Really a better prepared Chavez should have too much for Vera but I don't know...chavez still seems convinced he won the first fight legitimately, maybe he'll come into the fight with no respect for Vera again and struggle. A focussed Chavez stopping Vera wouldn't look bad at 13/8, there again if he's out of shape I'd rather take a chance on Vera getting the decision this time at 7/1...need to keep a close eye on the weigh-in for this, maybe even wait for the inplay.
Probably the fight most of us are looking forward to is Lomachenko - Salido. It takes a special talent to fight for a world title in your second bout and still start as the 1/7 favourite but obviously Lomas amateur record speaks for itself. Salido is as gutsy as they come but that head down wide punching style is asking for trouble against Loma and I have difficulty seeing him make it through the first half of the fight. If he does things could get interesting but for my money this is one time when the hype is justified.

bizarre market though the prices havent changed since round one and yet the round bets are being updated so someone is operating it
oh bollocks no theyre not, guess the suspend monkey fell asleep
**** me its late, good job I double checked then, they've been taking my bets, no doubt will all be voided
yeah will be voided boyd. what a pish fight
i want to cry i ha dno intention f gettin involved and ive gone balls deepp im a total mug
say it again, i don't c how loma is winning any round, drawing them at best
this is where you need a british stoppage boyd...not gone big myself but still been caught red handed riding the hype train 
lol not gonna happen never even looked hurt i thought hed work body but nadda i need an early chaves ko
cant see a ko unless his dad passes him a baseball bat
this will go unnoticed, but if goes 12 and loma gets it, will b a total disgrace
he fights like that earlier he gets it done ... im confused the body shot in the12th hurta him y didnt he go there early we all thought he would
Stunned they give it to Salido, I thought at best he could do was a draw.
Lomachenko was awful, fought like a sparring partner. Wonder what HBO are saying on their broadcast after insanely hyping this guy as the next big thing.
im ashamed of myself and paif for m stupidness pre tonight i was thinking salido etc n got lured into they hype mug
salido old pro-ed him 4 1st 10 rounds, then wen he tired loma had success
The total lack of intensity from Lomachenko was startling. I guess when you win every fight you have you never develop the intangibles.
Maybe he should switch careers, perhaps ballet instead of boxing.

Disapointed with Lomachenko, out thought there and has shown in the last round there was very little left in Salido all along
yea if hed gone to the body early it was there i just dont understand if we kno that y didnt he? hes the one called hi teck with all these experts lol
Lomachenko didn't even seem bothered in the post fight interview with Kellerman.
thanks alabaster. i just wasn't that impressed with lomachecko in his debut to think he was going to take Salido out. probably the most overhyped guy since Lacy
thats why im so more annoyed at myself i wasnt impressed iether :((( well done!!!
Chavez Jr. looking sharp. Don't see any hope for Vera here at all.
good start by chavez, looks like he came here to box and win on the outside tonight
Might've spoke too early. Vera doing well, not a fan of Chavez Jr. fighting almost exclusively on the back foot. I don't get it.
Chavez is fighting an inside fight now. He's going for the KO, trying to wear Vera down
agree lot more confident needs to wear him down like he did lee
laddies hav chavez 1/12, eh? hbo comms hav him behind ffs
You can't really beat chavez on the inside. He knows all the moves in fairness and has a granite chin.
I actually think Golovkin would be forced to hit and move vs Chavez
what a bell end acting like that in the end ... well im going to go cry
so now that chavez has won that 1 and vera was robbed in 1st, wen is the 3rd fite
I flaked out before the Chavez fight so need to catch up with that, sounds like they both put in a good shift.
Loma was so disappointing, how can you demand such a big fight then show nothing until the final round. I suppose you've got to give him credit for seeing out the 12 without any trouble and not complaining about the low blows but with such technical advantages it was maddening to watch. I still think there's a good career in him but looks like they'll have to go a more traditional route and make a few changes along the way.
