Weekend Plays
I've got five medium type picks this week. I'll list them in order of strongest first.
Juanito Rubillar (+135) Check out Graham's column. I agree with pretty much everything he said except the winner. I don't think Budler's people wanted this fight. Budler was outclassed last time. I don't think Budler will be able to close that gap so quickly, and I don't think Rubillar will get overtly screwed a second time.
Chilemba-Bolling OVER 9.5 (-120) Neither fighter has ever been ko'd. Chilemba has been 12 rounds 3 times in a row. Bolling has a high ko %, but he seems a wear'em down type. Should be a good, evenly matched fight.
Rodel Mayol (-150) Hard to be certain about anything when Mayol fights. Last time against Romero though, he seemed to be establishing himself early. Mayol was bigger, strong, and faster.
Michael Bolling (+180) I had this one pegged about even, so I like the plus number. I get the sense that Bolling might be a bit special, we'll see. Chilemba good, but maybe he lacks that killer instinct just a bit. Alot of unknowns here. Should be a good fight.
Edren Dapudong (+300) Playing the odds a bit smaller here. We don't know how good Dapudong is, but reports out of Philippines mark him as a good prospect. We know the pinoy's are ususally tough. Jimenez on a current win streak, but there has been some vulerability in the past. KO by Francisco Arce doesn't look so good.
One glaring thing is that I have wagered on all 'away' fighters here. I can feel Weasel shaking his finger at me now, but I like these match-ups. I'll be kicking myself if it goes bad, we'll see...
