STRIKEFORCE:Lawler vs Shields June 6th
- Thread starter kegray1
- Start date
Good luck betting Arloski and hoping he doesn't have another mental breakdown. In his defense on inside MMA last week he did say what he did (in the Fedor fight)was stupid, so maybe it is a start.
im not a Scott Smith fan at all. He gets some of the luckiest wins in MMA history. I got to go Diaz here big.
at the risk of getting banned,i just grabbed cain velasquez -130 over kongo.......
it`s no sure thing but,if vaelasquez can`t win the stand-up battle,at least he has a plan b....he`s a fantastic wrestler...
even given the experience...and the fact that kongo`s no joke,i thiought the odds would be a bit more tilted in velasquez` favor...with the full training camp and all...
and kongo`s losses haven`t exactly been to the cream of the crop...

Ugh, they haven't made this easy have they.
Early leans
Riggs
Whitehead
I could talk my way into either Lawler or Shields. I'm really leaning towards Lawler. I think he'll make this a standup battle and if that's the case then I see him winning. BUTTTTT, I would hate to bet on him and then spend 5 rounds watching Shields take him to the mat over and over.
I may not bet at all and just enjoy what should be a great night of fighting.

For those of us that don't have Showtime, what's the best way to see this one? Justin.tv? Is it any easier to see since it's not on PPV?
I think it is also offered on PPV because so few have showtime.
Justintv will have it up but for how long??
Lately all fights have been getting yanked because of copyright stuff. Not sure Strikeforce will crack down on them or not.

Is everyone here forgetting that Shields is moving up in weight and he won't have much of a true advantage on the ground with strength?
I actually think Lawler is going to finish him, and make him look rather foolish.

it basically boils down to "can shields take lawler down?"...
i don`t know whether everyone`s seen shields on youtube in those grappling tourneys vs other big name grappling and ufc guys.....but he schools and controls them all...
big lawler fan here...but,it all depends on whether he can take lawler down...he seems to be able to take everyone else down...he has a close win over a much bigger yushin okami...
has anybody seen any odds(i have no clue as to what they might be)?..i`m getting tired of 5 dimes with the last minute b.s....
if i can find another parlay book,i might think about switching up...

AHHHHHHH, I want to take Shields and probably will but I want to see the weigh ins. I want to see the size difference. If you watch the Trigg Lawler fight, Trigg took him down with ease in the first round(maybe two, I can't remember exactly) but then you can tell Trigg gassed and coudn't do crap. I don't see Shields gassing. It will be hard to go against Lawler because I like him a lot and you know he's always one punch from winning. I also think Lawler is fighting the best he ever has in his last few fights.
lines are up at 5 dimes...
Jake Shields -110
10:00PM (EST) 102 Robbie Lawler -120
Sat 6/6 103 Brett Rogers +300

Sat 6/6 105 Scott Smith +260
10:00PM (EST) 106 Nick Diaz -350
Sat 6/6 105 Joe Riggs -120

took a longshot crack at rogers...i know...not likely...
and i`m probably taking shields(even though i`m a a lawler guy)....

I'm gonna throw $100 on Baroni @ -110, $100 on Lawler @ -120, and $100 on Randleman @ -115
Then $50 parlay on the 3 fighters.
Lets hope they make up for my last 2 events!

I am going to see how boxing goes tonight, but I am thinking about playing:
Shields
Arlovski
Diaz
Whitehead
Lots of support for Rodgers on the Sherdog forums...I just don't see it. I have been unimpressed every time this guy has been on TV. Arlovski may have a bad chin...but that was FEDOR hitting him. Rodgers doesn't seem fast enough or athletic enough to catch the Pitbull. I think Rogers is gonna get lit up Rothwell style.
Scott Smith was damn close to 3 straight losses. Lawler beat his ass twice, and I am still trying to figure out how Radach handed that one away a few weeks ago. Too soon again for a tough fight...I think Diaz subs Smith
Shields-Lawler is a tough call....on second thought, I may just watch that one with NO PLAY
Cavalacante also seems good for a parlay or two. Who the hell is Mike Kyle?
