Strikceforce CBS April 17th fights /discussion

[Luke]

Looks like the only two fights so far are:

Jake Shields-Dan Hederson

King Mo Lawal -Gegard Mousasi

Cung Le might also be on the card

[Luke]

Just hear it was comfirmed Strikeforce will stay with their April 17th date. Also they are trying to add Lashley to this card

Going to be one busy night of fighting the 17th :

Strikeforce

UFC fight night

and

Kelly Pavlik fighting

[Mr. IWS]

Still no lines out for this one.....

I will probably be on Hendo though regardless.

No Fight Night on the 17th Luke.


For some reason I sense a Shields upset. If Melendez is a substantial underdog, I will throw 0.5 unit on him. I am most likely going to stay away from Mousasi and King Mo.

I could see Melendez winning. He's been looking great lately. Granted, he's never faced a sub guy like Aoki, but he's 17-2 with both losses coming by decision.

Aoki can be (T)KOd. We've seen it before.

im going with Hendo -300 or under, maybe more. Melendez with +odds and King Mo +150 or better.

I cant see Hendo being that high but I could be wrong

[poopoo333]

I wish the lines would come out already. Strikeforce lines take forever.

[Ludo]

The reason the lines aren't out is because there are only two fights official for the card yet.

Cant really see Aoki losing but I can see it being a big line

[Thewiseman]

i will be laying about 5-6 units on Hendo. 1u on Melendez and .5u on King Mo if odds are right.

[SPX]

I think Mousasi's going to fuck King Mo up. I hope I can get him for -300 or better.

Based on what? This is too much of a "what if" fight in my opinion. For all we know King Mo might be the next big thing (well Mousasi kind of fits that description too). Mo's wrestling might give Mousasi some trouble, and Mo is training with some really good people. This is a fight where I will need to see the lines to think about betting on it.

[Ludo]

I'm not touching Mo/Mousasi. WAY too many unknown variables just like the Mir/Carwin fights. Hendo though I will most likely make a play on, maybe someone on the undercard when I see who's actually fighting.

[Luke]

Damn bro if its -300 I'm going the other way .This isnt that far of a talent gap imo

[poopoo333]

"King Mo came in and wrestled with Jake a couple weeks ago.

He's got some very impressive shots for MMA and set-ups. I think he might be able to smother Mousasi. "


From the MMA section on bodybuilding.com

He is referring to Jake Rosholt.

[Ludo]

Not exactly impressive that he's able to smother a Middleweight when he's fought at Heavyweight before...

[SPX]

Who the fuck has Lawal fought? What's his biggest win? Mike Whitehead? Travis Wiuff? The modern-day washed up and broken down Mark Kerr?

Mousasi at this point is FAR more experienced and has beaten some actual names. This may very well be King Mo's coming out party, but I would have to get some pretty sweet underdog odds to gamble that it will be.

Yep, this is kind of my point of view too on the fight.

I didnt say Mousasi wont win but if its high odds I'll be on King Mo or nothing
