JOSHUA V FRANKLIN – TOTAL FIGHT MINUTES (SETTLED AT 36)

Saturday night saw the long-awaited return to the ring for Anthony Joshua who faced tough opposition in Jermaine Franklin who took Dillian Whyte the distance and controversially lost on points. 

Joshua was the heavy favourite entering the bout but looked tense early on as he failed to engage with the American. There were short flurries of action in the fight with both fighters connecting with big shots on a couple of occasions.

The fight went the distance and Joshua won the fight by decision but the former World Heavyweight Champion left a lot to be desired with many people leaving the fight asking what is next for AJ?

With AJ expected to win the fight in a much more dominant fashion, the spread of Total Fight Minutes ahead of the fight was 19.90-20.90. With the fight going the distance, punters who decided to buy won 15.10x their initial stake!

BRIGHTON V BRENTFORD – GOALS x CORNERS X BOOKINGS (SETTLED AT 2520)

On Saturday afternoon a match which was a common occurrence in the Championship a few years back now involved two teams who are well in the race to be in next year’s Champions league.

The game was full of action with Brentford taking the lead three times but being pegged back on each occasion including a 90th minute penalty from Alexis Mac Allister.

With there being 6 goals, 3 yellows and 14 corners the Goals x Corners x Bookings market made up at a massive 2520! With a pre-match spread of 850-975 offered, punters who decided to sell won 1545x their stake!

REAL MADRID V VALLADOLID – KARIM BENZEMA SUPER MEGA MINUTES (SETTLED AT 201)

On Sunday evening Real Madrid hosted Valladolid in a game which the hosts knew they had to win to remain in any sort of chance of chasing down league leaders Barcelona.

The hosts certainly started quickly scoring four goals within the first 36 minutes including a 7-minute hat-trick from Karim Benzema.

Los Blancos put another two goals past the visitor's helpless keeper in the second as they made a statement to not just the rest of La Liga but Chelsea who they face in the next round of the Champions League.

With Karim Benzema scoring a hat-trick his Super Mega Minutes made up at a massive 201! With a pre-match spread of 93-108 offered, buyers won 93x their initial stake.
