Advice:Ebo "The Extreme Machine" Elder (W22-L1-D0) has his first fight of the 2005 campaign tonight when he takes on Mongolian Lavka Sim (W20-L4-D1) at the Gwinnett Center, Duluth.
Elder was last seen out when stopping Courtney Burton (W21-L4-D1) at the back end of their one sided bout, but it is rumoured the 26 year-old is fully primed for this one. He's been in the gym for the last eight weeks and should easily account for Sim, who's only appearance in 2005 was the second round hiding he gave to "Journeyman" Shawn "Sabre" Simmons (W26-L15-D1) a fight that has only won 5 of his last 16 outings!!! Hardly testing.
Elder should be going on to better things this year and WILL start by scapling Sim on the scorecards. Best price on the outright is the 1.48 with SportingbetAUS, which we will hit for a tasty US$400. We will also snap up some of the 1.57 with Bet365 about the bout going past 11.5 completed rounds. Sim may be the fall-guy in this one but his chin is comparable with "Granite".
Make up for lack of boxing selections over the last few weeks by hitting this one rather hard, Elder should get a well earned title shot come the back-end of this year, and we should feed on such info.hungry?
