2009 record 14-5 +30.11units


Faber -110 1unit

Wanted it for 2 or 3 units but the talk around here has taken the wind out of my sails

I think Faber's quickness is going to be the difference tonight.

On Faber myself but considering how I've lost like 19 out of 20 last bets you know whats going to happen ... :scared :142smilie

a tough fight to call,no doubt....looking at record and some video,it`s speed vs power...

brown`s been beaten 4 times...by immanari in japan(a flying kneelock...check it out on youtube...brown was winning...kept taking immanari down...the japanese ref kept standing them up...it was a freakish sub...an amazing move,though,highlight reel stuff).....
he lost via sub to genki sudo in japan(armbar)...hermes franca(triangle choke)...and a sub to joe lauzon(couldn`t get a line on this one...don`t know how he subbed brown)...

seems like all of brown`s losses have been via joint manipulation subs with one coming by franca off the bottom...

all of faber`s subs have come from guillotine or rear naked chokes.....i can see faber maybe guillotine choking brown from the bottom....but i doubt that he can rear nakes choke a fresh brown...his wrestling is just too good..too strong...

faber has to out quick brown..brown`s never been k.o.`ed...but he`s never been in with as quick a guy as faber...

i think that homefield is huge...and that faber will get off to a quick start...as long as he`s fresh,his speed will give brown problems....in the first go round(as short as it was) you could see faber`s speed was a problem for brown...`

but if brown takes faber down,he`s gonna have a probelm....i`m sure that`s what brown will try and do....


tough to call....

 

[crow]

I'm quite green to this, but i think Faber's chin is kind of shaky, so i took the Brown by ko option...(+350), quite small...

 

[layinwood]

Crow, I like that bet a lot. I'm on Faber but if i wasn't that is the bet I would take.

i hope you`re right...btw,those odds were around -175 a day or so ago....

I've seen - 115 on him :142smilie

today.. about an hour ago

odds suck, but i think Grispi should be no better than -300 against Pulver, who has little fight left in him...

Grispi is a pretty long fellow and wrestling is the only skill he lacks, which i dont think will be an issue against the Jens Pulver of today.

gl dude

 

[Ghost Kid]

Wow those Grispi odds have really moved
I, too, believe Jens is all done
hope we are right

 

[gardenweasel]

i have him in a par w/manny"i`m back in the minors" gamburyan.....caught a -190 but saw a -175....

braniac is in germany,i believe,so the euro odds could be widely divergent from costa rican odds...

gl2us...

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

If Urijah does win, IMO, it will be via DECISION.

Rafael Rebello def. Kyle Dietz via submission (rear-naked choke), Round 1, 2:55

Boy....it's cold in here
:sadwave:

 

[THE_THONG]

grispi is 5'11, he should handle old man pulverized at 5'7 and slow reflexes

 

[gardenweasel]

i think gamburyan`s fighting for his career right here....

how the hell did 5`5" manny k.o. 6`1" jorge santiago(currently on a 9 fight winning streak)?....

apparently anything can happen(and does)...:shrug:
