Strikeforce: Rockhold vs Kennedy

[edman5555]

I wouldnt be suprised to see either guy win.

Jardine @+310 was the play. Now I think I am going to end up passing unless Jardine gets to +250 or better, or betting the fight to not go the distance.

Man, I really want to bet Nate. But so many damn questions. I just do not think Twood will be able to do what he needs to in order to get the W. but that is assuming Nate is healthy and his cardio is there.

Wow, a cameo appearance!


I think betting the over 3.5 rd (assuming that is what is released) prop might be a good play. I see Marquardt winning via late stoppage or decision due to T Wood gassing or T Wood winning a decision

[edman5555]

Nate used to gas at 185 but i would think he will have less muscle on him and would therefore have more endurance. It has been a year since he has fought though. Tough call imo. Daley stuffed woodley in the third round.

[poopoo333]

Also take into consideration that judges usually give the guy the round if they are going for the takedown, even if it is being defended. If Woodley has Marquardt up against the cage and is attempting to bring it to the ground and fails...the judge will give it to him a lot of the time. Lots of factors in this fight....real challenge to cap

I think it's mainly that they are giving points to the guy who does not have his back against the cage.

Yeah..basically what I was getting at.

Lawler even money larkin -130

[poopoo333]

I plan on betting Healy and I fully expect his line to be -300 or worse...but he is going to win.

Lawler even money larkin -130

I really like Lawler. But I think Larkin is just all wrong for him. Lawler and his laid back style are going to habd the rounds to Larkin.

[Svino]

I used to think Lawler was a guy with good standup, good takedowns, and good takedown defense.

When he didn't even bother trying to wrestle with Melvin Manhoef, I realized he didn't have good takedowns.

When he badly lost a boxing match to Renato Sobral, I realized he didn't really have good striking.

When he got taken down all over the place by Souza, Kennedy, and Amagov, I realized he didn't have good takedown defense.

At this point, I basically consider him a bum with a Hail-Mary power punch.

[poopoo333]

Apparently Gracie was 18 lbs over last night in his first cut to 185.

[poopoo333]

Is Jason High going to be able to smother Nate Moore? Do not know much about Moore.
