Boxing tonight Davis vs Woo

[RBD]

Recap: 0-1
Record: 1-2
My last pick Navarrete wins but I lose because a technical decision is not a KO, TKO or DQ. What a gyp.

Tonight I bought Kelvin Davis -225 to beat Nahir "Woo" Albright.
Yeah, that's right the guy's nickname is "Woo."
Not "Lights Out" like Toney.
Not "Thunder" like Gatti.
Not "Bonecrusher" like Smith (although he was more like Bonehugger than Crusher - the guy lived to clinch and hold.)
Nope, this guy's fighter nickname is Woo.

I'd bet against him on principal alone just for that.
If he was Asian, and it was Wu, I'd give him a pass, but it's Woo.
Why stop it just Woo? Why not two and make it Woo Woo?
Totally unforgivable, even in the singular form.

I actually have real reasons for betting on Davis (Do you ever see me lay two to one or more? Do you really think I'd so because a boxer has a terrible nickname? Come to think of it, I might. But it would have to be a really terrible nickname.)

I'm betting against him because he hasn't fought since... OCTOBER of 2023.
That screams SLACKER!

He also got DQ'd from a fight when they found marijuana in his system afterwards.
So POTHEAD SLACKER!
(Nothing against herb, been there, done that, but it's not something I want to see in a boxer.)
Davis also has the edge in just about every other category:
height, reach, weight, age, and KO percentage.

Barring injury, the usual reason fighters have a long layoff is because they just don't like fighting anymore.
And I love betting against guys like that.

Davis -225

Correction - it was Keyshawn Davis who got DQ'd for pot, not Woo.

How is Davis a better than 2- Fav??!!
Has holes in his defense, moves backward in a straight line, has no head movement.

Survived round 2 after getting knocked down in round 1 (referral to the slip but it was wrong) but he's lost both of the first two rounds.

[RBD]

Round 3 and he almost gets knocked down again. This is getting ugly fast.

[RBD]

Fighters off long layouts often look unprepared, unready, and/or unwilling. Got to give him credit, Woo is none of those, he's here to fight. Davis was probably lost all five rounds.
Bad 'cap on my part.

[RBD]

I'm in trouble, I got my money on a runner not a fighter.
My boy is backpedaling for all three minutes of the round.

[RBD]

Going to the score cards.
My guy got beat that's the thing about boxing, it's the only sport you can bet on a loser and still cash your ticket because it's so crooked.
But regardless of the cards Woo won.
