STRIKEFORCE CHALLENGERS:JUNE 19TH

[The Brainiac]

Why would Ludwig beat Yves Edwards in his last fight and now lose to a nobody even if he has a 9-0 record beating bums , maybe his jail buddies helping out ? I bet Ludwig's gf is kept hostage and he has to lose this fight like in Hollywood movies :mj07:
Seriously ... this is very weird and I am already on Ludwig so it's a bit too late , hopefully nothing shady because this guy doesn't have the skills to beat Ludwig unless Ludwig had one leg and one arm chopped off since I've seen him last time .

The line movement is strange although Brainiac is right. If there is something wrong with Ludwig then we would know about it before Sportsbook would is my guess.
Curious to see line at 5Dimes whent hey post them. Should be very soon.

For some reason fight off youtube isn't even on his record :shrug: Look at the record of people he has fought :scared Only one with solid record is some 8-1 guy but then I checked his 8-1 and he has like 3 wins over BIG BIG ?!! :142smilie :mj07:

The reason that fight is not on his record is because it was amateur where Beerbohm had a 12-0 record. You can see why as these guys were bums.

and the 8-1 guy is a 155 pounder....

 

[The Sponge]

Ludwig has fought them all and lost to all the guys who have talent. AL Turk the stiff is starting to build a nice resume of fighters with talent inwhich he has lost to every one of them.

 

[gardenweasel]

some odd lines...just grabbed ludwidg at +110....nick thompson at -115...heun at -115 and couture at even money vs nogueira.....


normally i`d grab nogueira,but he looked so thoroughly finished vs mir(actually looked bad in his last few fights) that i had no choice...randy just needs to keep this standing...

i understand that kennedy is listed at 185,...but thompson,much like ludwig,has seen it all....and is on a pretty good streak....not sure that kennedy deserves to be favored...

 

[Ghost Kid]

My first assumption ws that Kaufman would just steamroll Baszler
but I just rewatched the Cyborg first round....Baszler nearly got Cyborg out with a nasty heel twist
If she can get this thing to the ground, she might be able to sub Kaufman
Baszler must be relieved she is actually fighting a another woman this time
:142smilie

 

[kegray1]

Odds are up at 5dimes and they are putting to much weight on some heavy favored guys.

Ludwig is -105

Hallman is -490 as my other book has him at -390.
Eddie Alvarez(Bellator card) is -600 and other book is -450.

Hallman has a new opponent.
Jorge Gurgel and Conor Heun, originally slated for 155 pounds, will instead be held at 160 pounds.

 

[gardenweasel]

one of heun`s losses was to a 170 pounder...so he apparently flirted with a heavier weight...he`s 5`10" so he`s a good sized 155 pounder...

 

[gardenweasel]

lord!....couture went from +100 to -210?.....i liked him at +100 but not laying 2-1....

ludwig +130...the goat +110?......

must say i`m surprised....

 

[Ghost Kid]

I think I like that Thompson bet as well
although someone mentioned Kennedy is much bigger than him....
:shrug:

 

[muhr]

i'm leaning to kennedy. i had him against jason miller and wasn't really disappointed with the dec loss. aside from the severe nose cut, i think he would have won that fight.

this being his 1st fight in about 18 months does concern me however.

 

[gardenweasel]

kennedy`s size will be an issue.....the reason is took thompson was his experience,length and well roundedness...

kennedy`s strong but for a kick boxer his striking looked sloppy vs ryan mcgivern...

it`s only one of many:shrug: ...i need sanchez..

 

[kegray1]

Catchweight bout at 195 lbs between Dennis Hallman and late addition Justin Davis.

Hallman weighs in at 191.5 and Davis an even 200.

I guess Hallman ok'ed it since Davis was just added and being over is somewhat understandable.

 

[kickserv]

We need to stop weepaul and his 2.5 million bankroll, he keeps messin' up the lines:mj07:

 

[Ghost Kid]

a little headbutt action at the weigh-in
