Event: Heavyweight Fight (Malik Scott v Charles Shufford)
Selection: Malik Scott
Odds: 1.200
Stake: 500
Advice:Take a maximum stakes swipe at unbeaten heavyweight prospect Malik Scott (W27-L0-D0) this weekend when he takes on heavyweight journeyman, veteran Charles Shufford (W20-L6-D1) at the Palm Casino, Las Vegas.
Although only chalked-up at 1.20 by sole players in the market BWin this still represents amazing value!
Shufford has fought only once in the past three years where he scraped a draw against cruiserweight contender Kelvin "Koncrete" Davis (W24-L5-D2). This inactivity, we believe will ultimately be his undoing in this contest.
Scott at 26 years young is in the prime of his career right now and although he has fought only average fighters to date he definately has got what it takes to get past an ageing Shufford who at 34 is very much in the last chance saloon.
Scott dismantled a courageous David "The Boss" Bostice (W37-L12-D1) over twelve brutal rounds in January 2005, which probably represents his greatest achievement to date. Should he come to the table in that kind of form he may even be able to achieve what "The Nigerian Nightmare" Samuel Peter (W28-L1-D0) couldn't do, and stop him! Unlikely, but most certainly a distinct possibillity
If ever there was a boxing banker look no further that Malik against Shufford. Place yourself a $500 wager at 1.20 with BWin to win a virtually risk-free $100.
It is noted that BWin restrict the stakes for plenty of our players out there. Our advice for them is to e-mail the sportsbook at support.en@bwin.com and ask for your limits on these events to be increased.
We have done this with a couple of our accounts and are now allowed to place larger wagers, thus allowing us to get $500 on the favourite in this one. Alternatively try opening an account in a friend or family members name to increase stakes.
