[Ghost Kid]

can i get some advice on evans/forrest props? id like to put a small wager on it, but don't know it well enough to cap it. here are the props:

griffin dec: +350
griffin ko: +400
griffin sub: +300

evans ko: +550
evans sub: +450
evans dec: +550

what do you think the likely outcome is? the lines to jump out at me were evans ko and griffin decision.

tough call NJ

the main event, IMO, is the hardest to call on the card. I haven't made a play on this fight, and probably won't. could go either way. wish I was more help on that one. Evans dec. maybe?

Rampage, on the other hand, I am strongly considering.

Good luck bro. Looks like we both need Massenzio and Barry. Play by Play starts in 35 minutes with the Barry fight (I think).

yep....I'm banking on a rookie here bro

I'm confident, but it's little nerve-racking having a big bet on the first fight of the card...

gotta build a lil momentum here...let's GO PAT BARRY !

PATRICK BARRY VS. DAN EVENSEN

Round 1 - After a quick clinch, the two fighters separate and look a little tentative. Barry rears up for a quick big body kicks, but Evensen stuffs the third and shoves him against the cage. The action stalls as Evensen looks for underhooks. He can't get them, and the crowd quickly grows restless. The ref breaks them up. Barry returns to the kicks and does damage as Evensen tries to throw a right. Evensen is wobbled with a following kick, and the fight hits the mat with Barry in guard. Evensen easily ties him up with his long limbs, and Barry returns to his feet and waits for Evensen to do the same. Once standing, Barry throws a leg kick, and in a surprising stoppage, the fight is stopped.

hurray for bad stoppages !

:mj07:

nice start boys !

edit:

A replay shows that Barry landed a solid leg kick just as Evensen planted his left leg. Evensen was injured with the kick and unable to continue. Patrick Barry def. Dan Evensen via TKO (injury) -- Round 1, 2:36.

thanks for the input friend. ive been doing poorly on boxing, hopefully tonight redeems me a bit.

after looking into it, barry really looks like a lock here, the question mark is in the fact that he's debuting. but articles and capping reports i've read make him sound cool as ice, with an opponent picked to make ihm look good. evensen is on his way out, they want him to lose.

i agree the main event is hard to pick, if i do well enough ont he rest of the card i might take a small lottery play.

a lot of people are liking rampage here. i like silva as a person here more, but i put a small wager on jackson.

nice start!

REESE ANDY VS. MATT HAMILL

Round 1 - Hamill strikes early and first. The fighters then trade wildly but finally calm down. Hamill checks a kick, sends Andy to the mat and batters him with punches as the he gets back to his feet. Andy throws a leg kick as Hamill continues to stalk. After a clinch, Andy connects on a knee to the jaw, but Hamill shakes it off. Hamill connects on a right, but Andy counters with a solid combination. The fighters again trade punches, and Hamill is bloodied under his right eye. Andy tries to shoot but is stuffed, and Hamill pops him with a knee as he gets back to his feet. Andy's left eye is now swelling. Andy again thinks about shooting and instantly eats two quick rights. Hamill's really bleeding now as the fighters continue trading leg kicks and punches. Hamill uses a left jab to create distance and continually pushed forward. Both fighters look a little fatigued with 30 seconds to go, and Hamill sets up a nice combination with an uppercut. A very offensive first round comes to a close. MMAjunkie.com has it 10-9 for Hamill, but he took plenty of punishment for it.

SHIAT !

Round 2 - Andy strikes first with a wild combination and then buckles Hammil with a leg kick. Hamill counters with an uppercut, eats a left and then forces Andy to retreat after a right. Andy again tries to shoot and is battered with countless punches as he remains on one knee. Hamill then connects on a vicious body punch and simply stiff arms Andy and hits him again with a body punch. Andy drops to one knee, and Hamill swarms on him with a flurry of unanswered punches as the referee warns he's going to stop it. Dozens of punches are thrown as Andy drops from his knees to his back, and Hamill keeps dropping punches until the fight is finally stopped.

YESSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!

I really need Happy Harry Hardonk to win here, it seems he pulled out the first rd. Barry and Hardonk were supposed safe favs.

 

[Ghost Kid]

Round 2 - Wessel swings wildly earlier and then trips Hardonk to the mat and works from inside his opponent's guard. Hardonk gets his legs high and nearly secures the triangle choke, but Wessel punches his way free and forces Hardonk to give up on the hold. Wessel frees one leg, but Hardonk sweeps and easily takes Wessel's back. After flattering him out, Hardonk rains down punches. Wessel is in a bad spot as he eats countless punches to the side of the head. A few hit the back of the head, and he's warned about them. Wessel rolls over but continues eating punches from the mount. With Wessel apparently out of steam, the fight is halted, and Hardonk scores the TKO victory.

Hardonk wins

sounds like Wessel gave it his all...Okami next up
