eMike Tyson VsEric ‘eButterbean’ Esch
When Iron Mike Tyson became the youngestheavyweight champion of the world at 20 years and 145 days he had a records of28-0 and 26 KOs or TKOs.
44 of his 50 wins were by TKO or KO and he is 1/8to win this fight by stoppage and 1/12 to win by any means.
Butterbean, however in 91 fights has lost by TKO orKO only twice so there is arguably some value in taking Tyson to win this onpoints at 10/1.
If you fancy Tyson’s class to tell and the baddestman on the planet to win by KO or TKO, rounds 1 and 2 are joint favourites at5/2.
2020 Candidates Chess tournament
The Candidates Chess tournament returns from a daybreak tomorrow with Round 7 of 14.
Ian Nepomniachtchi is Even money favourite ahead of2018 winner Fabio Caruana at 11/4.
Nepomniachtchi is in form with three wins and threedraws through six games. In 2018 Fabio Caruana won the tournament won five gamesfrom 14 and in 2016 Sergey Karjakin won through with five wins and nine drawsfrom the 14 matches.
Nepomniatchtchi is currently ranked 5th in the worldbut his Fide rating peaked in September and his current form suggests he isgetting better. He’s currently well ahead of the curve for the tournament. It’shard to make a case for second place Fabiano Caruana who has so far only beatenlast place Kirill Alekseenko.
In the short term the games continue whereNepomniachtchi is 6/1 to win as black against second place MaximeVachier-Lagrave, where the draw is 3/10. Fabio Caruana is 13/8 to record a winagainst Wang Hao.
Golf
The Cactus Tour- Sundance
Hayley Moore leads the field at 7/2. Moore went tothe University of Arizona so will be well aware of the local Sundance golfcourse.
Moore will be looking to build on her debut win on the Cactus tour in 2019 at Stallion Mountain. Second-favourite Sarah Burnham takes a step down in class from the LPGA tour, which hasn’t had an event since February, to join in with the Cactus tour and will be hoping her class tells, she is available at 4/1 in the outrights.
