Sport Relief - Boxing: Ben Shephard vs Lemar (Friday 14th March!)

[stereoman]

Yeah it's this year's celebrity boxing. Lemar's being taught by Amir Khan, Ben Shephard's being taught by Ricky Hatton.

Coral's have priced this up going Lemar 4/7, Ben Shephard 5/4, Draw 25/1.

Have a bet for a laugh but nothing serious. It's three 90 second rounds for Christ's sake!

If Lemar can throw a combination he can beat Ben. I don't care how many celebrity sporting events Ben's done over the years.

The stats: Shephard and Lemar to put on the gloves for Sport Relief

Huh. Looks like Lemar can't punch...or something like that.

Updated odds: Lemar 4/5, Ben Shephard 'evens' and the draw 16/1.

[stereoman]

Huh. It's being fought today but it'll be screened on Friday? I don't think Coral's know that.

Joe Calzaghe is backing...Lemar. I, however, am following the money and putting £20 on Ben Shephard at 'evens'.

Hmmm. Coral's go N/O about Ben Shephard. Who bet the limit!? It can't be my £20 that caused them to go N/O!

I've gotta assume Ben won then. I'm annoyed that William Hill went 4/6 Lemar and Ben 11/10 then as I certainly didn't see it.

I wonder if they'll be offering odds on the pro-celebrity tennis match between Jonathan Ross/Greg Rusedski and Jimmy Carr/Pat Cash on Friday!?

[stereoman]

OOOH!! Coral's have paid out on Ben Shephard? There seems to be a news blackout as there's no spoilers about for whatever reason though.

[stereoman]

LOL at Shephard's windmilling!

The fight. The BBC haven't put up the bit where they announce the result.

Eh. Whatever it takes to win a bit, heh?
