what about winky vs B-hop

Forgot about this one.
I've been on Winky since day 1, but so is the rest of the planet so I may be on Hopkins come bet time. Don't really know yet.

V3r1f13d you are a much better gambler then I am. I could never bet against my fighter or team. As far a AC IMO it is a dump. If you go outside of the casions it is the ghetto.

I used to be the same way, but I got over it. Believe me, I paid to learn this lesson. It's becomes a lot easier because you know your team better than any other. I bet against the Angels and the Ducks when I know they are going to lose, and for them when I know they are going to win.

Just like the last match. Jose Luis Castillo is my guy, and I'm not a Hatton fan necessarily..I just know JLC just couldn't take this one. Hated to watch JLC take the count, but hey...Im not going to watch my money go down with him.

Thanks Eddie - UFC 74 should be a good one. Good Luck.

Birds - Just enjoy your time over there. I've never been to Atlantic City, but I will go one day.

Ya, it sucks that Gatti lost. I hate betting against people or teams I root for, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

No lines yet...but I may have to lean with Forrest in this one. The Over is a solid play, just wonder what the chalk will be.

No1mikefan I like Mike too that was a sad night too. I watch of Gatti's pro fights on Friday to get ready for the fight then to see him like that was real bad. but no one can ever take the 3 Ward fights away:beerbang:

Birdsfan, I know exactly how you feel buddy!! I drove 8 hours from Madison Wi to Louisville Kentucky to watch my Hero Iron Mike fight Danny Williams.....Everyone and their damn brother tried to tell me that Mike didnt have it anymore. I would never listen and it killed me to see him get beat:bang: Not only did Mike not have it anymore, but it hurt 10 times worse knowing that he didnt WANT it anymore! All we can do is remember the fights where we were jumping out of our seats cheering our guys on!! They can never take those away no matter how their careers wind up!! Arturo will always be one bad SOB!! Gotta give it up to Gomez, he really made a great step up and showed he has more than just heart. Proved me wrong...:nuts: I hope you had fun regardless as Im sure you did!! Glad I didnt see security pulling you out of the ring.....LOL!!!

v3 that was a tough one,he came on the last few rounds but it wasnt enough........round 12 with a doubt he lost.......jesus h christ talk about fighting with a n octupus ,,man williams is long............ neither one of them tonight could have broke and egg shell........ hey you still did good,, congrats:beerbang: sad night for gatti and his fans,on a personal note one of my good friends niece use to date gatti,, they all come from jersey city.............believe you me i love gatti but in my opinion he should have hung it up a few fights ago..........tough dude with out a doubt.............i wait for 74 now:beerbang:

[birdsfan5]

EddieP- Looking at Gatti now, you are correct! I just let my "fan" side take over and its always hard for me to admit when they dont have it anymore! **** sucks that he had to go out like that but I truly hope his people talk him into hanging the gloves up. There is NO REASON why Gomez should of whooped him like that. RIP the blood and guts warrior..... nobody wants to see him end up with long term damage and that is whats next for him??

:cry: it was a bad night I lost 500 and gatti got killed

[V3r1f13d]

Damn....

Oh well, 2-1

[V3r1f13d]

Well, I've got Williams winning slightly (115-113) but here comes the bad decision in my favor *crosses fingers*

[V3r1f13d]

Gatti already had another fight lined up, with Chavez Jr.
I doubt it is going to happen though.

Margarito is comming back...

[V3r1f13d]

Harold is blind, 6-0? Larry has it a ittle better 5-1. I had it 4-2 at that point and now have it 4-3.

Expect the judges to have it closer as well.

mike i like said at the start of this thread,,i didnt know why gatti would even want to fight at this point......... the wars with ward finished him in my opinion,, you just dont recover from beatings like that,i dont care who you are............ then he fought mayweather and baltamir two more beatings........ he should retire,,he is a class act for sure but his time is over........
