UFN 92 - Caceres vs Rodriguez - Utah

[weedreference]

I still need to watch tape on cummings but ponz being so hittable is really making me hesitate unloading on him its not like his chin is granite either two ko losses and strickland put him on his arse twice albeit not sure if second was a slip.

I share your concerns, not to mention Cummings has improved his boxing an amazing amount from fight to fight recently. That said, I'm on Ponz at the current line. Insane TDD, more chance of finishing, and more of a judge friendly style.

the guy somehow reminds me of Ricardo Mayorga from boxing. Mayorga was an all around badass though.

I'm only a casual boxing fan, but wasn't Mayorga a huge piece of shit? Lol

So watched cummings and yeah i favour ponz. Cummings is pretty easy to hit with the right cross and thats ponz's favourite punch. I think this is a standup battle and it seems cummings is going to be hard to put away never seen him staggered and hes ate some big shots albeit none from someone with ponz's power. Cummings does have sneaky power tho and there is a nagging doubt in my brain regarding ponz's chin. But i only see cummings winning by ko and that is pretty unlikely. Defo agree if this goes to the cards ponz gets it with his aggression and big accurate power punches. Cummings does have real good cardio tho and ponz can slow in r3 so ponz split could be worth a hit incase ponz gets dropped in r1 or r2.

Agree with all of that.

I Have a maxbet of 5u on Ponz already @ -150, and said I would add more if his odds would rise. Now it has, and I really don't know how much extra too add Crazy line IMO, compared to a nearly 75% capping. Should really go all in here.

I was a fan of him at one point lol. Guy had alot of charisma. I remember him knocking out Vernon Forrest and then smoke a cigarette in the post fight interview. This was when Forrest had just beat Shane Mosley twice. LOL i havent watched much if any boxing anymore, just mma now.

Happily married straight dude here but FFS Cub's abs. Is it possible for a human to be more shredded in the torso? I played college football for 2 years, did MMA/bjj training, have had periods of my life where I lived in the gym. I was a good athlete. Never in my wildest dreams could I have abs like that.

I'm not sure why some of you are betting the Steele/court over 2.5

I could see Steele getting a quick knockout or vice versa. Deff don't think it goes the distance

 

[CR0W]

The way Cummings dangles his left hand so low will leave him open to the counter straight of Ponz being a southpaw vs orthodox. He's much more of a counter puncher too, very much a reactive striker. It's hard to imagine Ponz won't catch him clean at some point and as tough as Cummings is and as much money he's made me in the past, he could very well get finished here if he gets caught clean.

Interesting match up for sure, wouldn't be shocked to see either guy win favouring Ponz.

So have only seen a little of Taylor, but wow does she look like she has a body that will gas out later in the fight if it goes that far. Moroz rd 3 is +925. I have to put something on that.

She actually hasn't looked too bad when she's gone into rounds 4 and 5.

But yeah she's incredibly stocky and packs a heap of power for a woman. Her KO of Colleen was brutal. Thinking of putting money down on her at the current odds, the only thing that puts me off a bit is her willingness to engage in clinches when she's coming forward striking. Particularly in her fight with Chelsea Lewis, there were a few moments in which if it was Moroz she could have pulled guard and attacked with submissions. She does throw constant combinations when she has someone hurt though and I think Moroz will struggle to find her rhythm and timing.

Court hasn't scored a KO in forever and generally doesn't hit very hard, and is very durable. Steele showed vs Roberts he's improving and now has experience against a pocket boxer (even though Court favors volume, Roberts favors power). Plus there is a likelihood for decent amount of time spent in the clinch

My only concern is Steele gassing. It's also the only reason I didn't bet Steeles money line harder

You think Taylor KO/TKO has a bit of value at +525? I think Moroz is a big step up in competition for her (kinda obvious) but if Taylor lands clean...? Seems like maybe some value on that KO line? Agree her KO of Colleen in that rematch was great, esp with it coming late. She obviously carries the power with her late, even if she's tired.

I genuinely do think there is value in the KO line. I don't think she'll stop her cold like she did with Colleen but she could very well hurt her and just swarm to get the finish. I don't rate Moroz' striking highly at all and it wouldn't be out the question for Taylor to finish her.

Have you seen Sage's abs? Abs/ lower body fat is mostly diet made. You can be in the gym all day and not have those abs.
I'd assume playing college ball you eat hella carbs/ sodium which causes water retention.

Hit it for .25u. Anything that has to do with striking I'm gonna put stock in what you say. You are an OG here and when it comes to striking you have forgotten more than I will ever know. Grappling I trust my own knowledge most of the time. Striking...not as much.
