[Luke]

Roger Bowling (9-1) v. Bobby Voelker (23-8)

Sarah Kaufman (13-1) v. Liz Carmouche (5-1)

Lavar Johnson (15-4) v. Devin Cole (18-9)

Adlan Amagov (7-1) v. Ronald Stallings (9-3)

[SPX]

I think Kaufman/Carmouche will be an interesting fight. Kaufman should be too strong for Carmouche to replicate her performance against Coenen, though.

I hope we get a good line on Kaufman. -150 would be awesome and it might be possible considering Carmouche lasted longer with Coenen than Kaufman did.

Not only did Carmouche last longer, she basically dominated.

[SPX]

She did. I think Kaufman will beat her, though. Kaufman is strong as hell. Not only was she able to stuff almost all of Miesha Tate's takedowns, but she also had that crazy powerbomb slam on Roxy. Her boxing is really good, too.

I'll take her up to -150. If Carmouche is a big underdog though, I'll probably make a small play on her in case lightning strikes twice.

Carmouche might be really good.

[SPX]

I just don't think she'll have the physical strength to take Sarah down repeatedly like she did with Coenen and on the feet she'll probably get wasted.

I think Kauffman will win too I just pointed it out because it may skew the lines.

[SPX]

Considering that Voelker beat Bowling in their last fight, is Bowling's line going to be retarded? I just looked on BFO and apparently he was like -600 in their first two fights.

[SPX]

I think Kauffman will win too I just pointed it out because it may skew the lines.

I hope so, because otherwise Kaufman would be like -400 or worse.

Just watched Bowling/Voelker I and II. Both fights were great.

The line on this one is going to be very interesting. The first fight was pretty much entirely dominated by Bowling, but he fades more and more as the fight goes on. Bowling did much better in the second fight, with the first round relatively close (but going to Bowling) and the second round starting off with Bowling being the aggressor but Voelker turning that ship around and taking total control of the fight.

Quadros even says, "He's putting that ass whippin' on him here." That was unexpected.

[poopoo333]

Yeah, the first and second fights were very weird on how they turned out. I remembered the fight being competitive before the technical decision or whatever it was because of the eyepoke so I put a small bet on Voelker in the 2nd fight. I'm not too sure on who I'd bet in this fight to be honest.

[SPX]

Bowling lit Voelker the fuck up in the first fight (especially the first round), but his striking was a lot less effective in the second. I wonder why that was?

Bowling comes out hard and fast though, and then fades after the first round. I expect Bowling will win the first round for sure. Who knows about the second. If it makes it to the third, and Bowling isn't a more patient fighter this time, then Voelker will probably win the third if for no other reason than Bowling will be tired as shit.

My prediction is 29-28 Bowling and I'll take Bowling as a small favorite. But if he's a big favorite like he was in the first two fights I will bet Voelker for sure.
