This won quite comfortably in the end.

Anything stand out for anyone today in the qualifiers?

World Cup Qualifying

Poland to beat Romania 8/13 with Bet365. 4/7 available elsewhere.
Poland to beat Romania and over 2.5 goals in the match. 15/8 with Lads and Coral.

Poland top their qualifying group, with 13 points from 5 games. Beat Romania 3-0 in the reverse fixture, 2 goals in the last 10 minutes, showing intent to seal the game instead of sitting on a one goal lead. Over 2.5 has landed in every game in this campaign for Poland and with Lewandowski and Milik up top they carry plenty of goal threat. Blasczyzkowski is a miss through injury, however and Glik is suspended.

I still think Poland will be more than good enough to win and there will be goals in the game.

Interested to hear other people's opinions.

Thought it was all over in round 6 last night, but Joshua showed the heart of a lion to get up and weather the immediate storm.

Incredible fight though. Apologies for the duff bet.

Long time lurker, first time poster.

With 53 knockouts for Klitschko and 18 for AJ in their respective careers, I see it as highly unlikely the fight goes the distance tonight.

We know Wladimir can win a decision, but we equally haven't seen Joshua go 12. AJ still has questions to answer around his punch resistance and I think we can reasonably expect Dr. Steelhammer to test that out tonight.

In the buildup to the fight, AJ has talked a lot about keeping it simple, not building the occasion up. To me, in any event, he belies a real air of nervous tension. I just wonder if he doesn't find success early in the fight whether he starts to change his approach into a more urgent style and expose himself to more risk and the underrated counter punching of Klitschko.

I believe the fight goes no more than 8 rounds.

Under 8.5 rounds with Marathon is showing at 28/29. That's the best price I can see at Oddschecker.

Thanks for reading!

Thank you Ash - that post has taken 4 years, but maybe it will have proven worth the wait.

By tradition, first time Recommends all get placed, so if Tighty is not around, I'll place it later. Good luck us.

Also by tradition, you have to name your 3 favourite tipsters on Fred, & why.

Anyway, welcome aboard bud.

 

Ok...nothing like being put on the spot!

Doobs, for being able to pick horses better (seemingly, at least) than some can pick their noses.
Arbboy, for his outlook and the way I understand the maths side of things better as a result
Hector, for the level of analysis usually presented prior to a recommendation.

But to balance? I read so many thoughts/opinions etc, I could easily put any one or more of a myriad of other names in that list.

Thanks for the welcome and GL us!
