I would be careful. If JDS wins it's by tko. If it goes the distance it is because brock is taking him down and avoiding the standup. You might as well bet JDS inside the distance.

I will not have the option. Vegas will not have that prop. And I would more than likely not take it if I could.

If I was REALLY confident in JDS, I'd unload on JDS by TKO @+160 right now

That is so lame. Vegas blows. Big dissapointment.

You know who else took Herring down and controlled him(to a greater extent the Lesnar). Jake O'brien.

LOL. That's true.

Gonzaga actually has(had) pretty good takedowns. He took Carwin down.

I also considered the Carwin/JDS connection when it comes to Gonzaga. Brock couldn't take Carwin down, but Gonzaga could?

We haven't seen a lot of JDS's wrestling, but motherfuckers act like he's just never been in a situation where he's had to grapple. We do know SOME things. No, he has not faced one of the high-caliber wrestlers like Carwin, Cain or Brock. But he has faced guys who are known-grapplers and he's done well.

Why is that? It seems like you feel that if JDS wins, it will be by (T)KO.

I might take it ALONG with the straight bet. But I have just been burned too many times on props. And it is not like JDS is sitting @ -240 or higher. I am more than comfortable with his current price.

[SPX]

I hear you regarding props. I'm in the same boat.

[edman5555]

props are ok. I am with you on taking it along with a straight bet. I do that a lot.

[edman5555]

I am rewatching Gonzaga-Carwin. I think Gonzaga stunned him before he dropped him but I can't remember.

[edman5555]

OK. Carwin was def stunned before the takedown. I would think it affected it. Regardless it was actually a pretty sweet takedown.

I love that KO. Carwin is a beast.

[SPX]

He does hit like a truck.

It's like his striking power is the direct inverse of his cardio.

[poopoo333]

Carwin has good cardio. His problem was (I forgot what he was calling it).
