thinking about a lock...

kick don't stop me :SIB

 

[gardenweasel]

has Henderson slipped so far that he`s a +165 dog to boetsch?......yes,he`s old and he`s 2-5 in his last 7.... but the last 7 consisits of mousasi,cormier,Belfort,rashad evans,lyoto Machida and Mauricio rua......

and thong....I see that broner is fighting shawn porter at a catch weight....yeah,i hate that cocky f-ck(broner) worse than ebola but is he rightfully the dog here?...porter will swarm and try to overwhelm broner....but I think broner is a tad more skilled,probably quicker and way better defensively.....

wassup?...

you really think "meat" is a lock?....I see where you`re going but I have 'some" doubt...rothwell has just enough momentum and a solid enough chin to make it interesting....:shrug:

it is an interesting fight...

catch weight is to aid broner, he's the A-side, but most people who follow boxing know this is a good spot for Porter. Porter said broner and him used to fight on the same shows, with broner opening up

they know each other, too bad the battle for ohio is in vegas(what a joke, thanks broner and haymon, broner probably just wants to party in vegas)

Porter is now favored. i would bet porter hedged with broner by dec. don't think About Billions can Ko Shawn

I think I`ll be the sucker that puts a few bucks on "the poor man`s Floyd"(could give a whit about either guy...posers both).....

just can`t believe that haymon is hanging his guy out to dry here....

and btw,"medeiros vs Poirier"(there you go,kick...back on topic:grins...

I'll be working tomorrow - so that means I'll be watching UFC Fight Pass all day looking up some of these lesser-known names. Locked in tonight/tomorrow:

WSOF 21
Blagoy Ivanov -130 over Smealinho Rama 2.6 to win 2

UFC Fight Night 68
Derrick Lewis -120 over Shawn Jordan 1 to win 0.83
Omari Akhmedov -135 over Brian Ebersole 1 to win 0.74
Dan Henderson/Ben Rothwell +620 0.5 to win 3.1
Brian Ortega +150 over Thiago Tavares 1 to win 1.5
Anthony Birchack +150 over Joe Soto 1 to win 1.5
Francisco Rivera -135 over Alex Caceres 1.35 to win 1
Christos Giagos +145 over Chris Wade 1 to win 1.45

Think Hendo's last fight, like to see him go out on a high note - and Boetsch typically has a tough chin - just not sure if Hendo can stay off the fence as Boetsch probably dirty-boxes the hell outta him. Hendo's chin is gone, but I surely don't see this going five rounds, any bet inside distance would be ideal. I learn jiu jitsu from Rothwell's manager and the guy has had a little mini career resurgence and is going on an Arlovski-like run right now. I might play Ben straight up here as I see the line tomorrow.

I love the Russian fighters, and Akhmedov is fun to watch - Ebersole is game but I doubt he can keep Omari on the ground. Lewis should be able to KO Jordan fairly easily here as I see a counter right finishing Shawn in the first round. Jordan has a Ryan Bader-esque standup game and leaves his chin wide open a lot.

Also, what bout Bader getting shafted in the LHW title fight? I know I'm happy to see Gus there instead of him... can you imagine that snooze fest of Bader/Cormier? Sick.

Leonardo Morales weighs in at 140 pounds

Yancy Medeiros weighs in at 159.5 pounds.


Both not close to making weight.

Omari Akhmedov -135 over Brian Ebersole 1 to win 0.74

Ebersole has sweet chest hair, don't forget that.

give the homies my best....have fun,ese`....

 

[gardenweasel]

not a good gambling card for me(many of these fights look competitive)...like next week`s card for gambling purposes...

thank god for televised weigh-ins..now I see why the oddsmakers favor boetsch.....that 185 cut looks brutal for both hendo and boetsch...but more so for hendo...he almost looks brittle...no muscle tone...

Poirier should be goosed in front of his homies but I`m guessing he`ll be fighting a much bigger man come tonight....you could see the size differential at the weigh-in and it didn`t seem as though Medeiros cared about cutting weight....

not a spectacular card but it looks like some solid matchmaking.....nice style match-up(contradiction)_ with bruce Leroy vs rivera....

like to go back and look at Jordan vs lewis 1...HOW THE HELL DID THAT GO THE DISTANCE?

gl,gents....

Leonardo Morales weighs in at 140 pounds and loses in 1st round, he gets choked out. Awesome:00hour

That is what is supposed to happen, miss weight by 100 pounds and then get subbed.

+160 underdog Jose Quinonez with a sweet win.
