Shark fights 13

Re: Shark fights 13

He's a wrestler. He has decent well rounded skills, but he can't hang with Darebdayan on the feet. He is going to be looking for takedowns all night

Karen's wrestling has seemed pretty good from what I remember. He just lacks sub defense, apparebtly.

Can Straus sub him?

Karen is a stud judoka. I doubt he will be getting subbed, he should win easy IMO... but then again, I didn't the Bart would sub him either. His armbar defense is a mystery. All of the other Hayastan guys have awesome submission defense. I tend to think he HAS to have plugged that hole by now.

But you don't think he's worth the line?

Re: Shark fights 13

It is over my cap of -250 (even though I break it a lot). I am not willing to go to -315, because Straus does have a path to victory via top control. He was only a HS wrestler, but apparently he is pretty good. Of course, he hasn't been fighting anyone of any real consequence either.

What's up with this cap?

Re: Shark fights 13

I broke down all of my bets for the year... and if I would have only bet up to -250 (instead of -400) I would have done A LOT better. So I am trying it out for a while. Its not firm, I cheat it all the time.

But if it is over -300, it has to go in the locks parlay. That is how certain it needs to be for me to go to -300 or so.

What do you think of Karen's striking?

I think his striking is bad ass. I was shocked by how he totally outclassed Razor Rob and he was also beating Bartimus's ass before the armbar.

Screw it. 4u on Karen @ -315.

Straus doen't have a lot of outs here. Karen's judo should be good enough to at least neutralize Straus' wrestling., and probably take top if he wants it. Kerr is a really good bjj competitor (not world class, but very good). Bart is a high level fighter.

Re: Shark fights 13

I might ride with you on that one after doing a little research tonight.

Then we can get overeager and do Soko, too.

Re: Shark fights 13

I don't know about cole, I think aaron could sprawl and brawl to dec. Aaron trains with good wrestlers, cole probably trains with better wrestlers and he is the better wrestler. But is cole's gas tank good enough to dominate aaron with wrestling for at least 2 rounds?

Re: Shark fights 13

Aaron will probably win. Cole has to pin him for 3 rounds... but Cole is a way better wrestler so it could happen. I think we will know about 20 seconds into the fight who is going to win. If Cole struggles with the takedown, no way he will win.

Re: Shark fights 13

I might do a Darabedyan-Soko-KJ parlay @ +157.

Re: Shark fights 13

That should hit. I looked at Straus again... he has really strong takedowns. I hope Karen can get up, because I think Straus is going to put him on his back. Regretting the bet now.
