Not telling you to compare reach by those two photos.

Reach is determined by middle finger length(R) across the back to middle finger length(L).

Since latifi has a large back it skews the reach measurement.

I'm willing to bet bader has a much longer reach if we measure middle finger tip to top of the shoulder(delt). I'd say closer to 4 to 5 inch TOTAL reach advantage(2-2.5 each arm.)

I get what you're saying but it's still just a 1 inch difference and these writers aren't even researching and are acting like it's a Jones vs Artem Lobov level of difference

Bader's reach won't be the difference (because it probably isn't that significant), it will be footwork, cardio, and wrestling if he's able to win. He has power too so conceivably he could connect and stop Latifi but he really needs to avoid a firefight. That's Latifi's best path to victory.

Bader has never successfully avoided a power puncher with footwork. It's always been wrestling (OSP) or he's took risks (which he's been saying he's going to do for this fight) and got KTFO every single time.

The only problem with wrestling Latifi is that it's very difficult to get underneath a small guy who's built like he is, I honestly don't think he's going to be able to get him down. Then it's a matter of if Bader will do something stupid or get clipped in 15 minutes, which I think he will.

the more I ponder this bout the more I like the under. Have you changed your mind or still on the over?

IMO even if this goes over there will be a couple times in the first round and early r2 where it comes close...

EDIT: look how Barnett came out against Mir.... I expect similar.

I'm on the over, and i'm on Starts round 3 in my round robin. Will also end up on Barnett.

AA is better in the clinch than Mir imo so I still feel confident there will be a grind in this fight and it likely hits the cards. AA actually had better clinch position on Reem, who is very strong there. But he got scared off cause Reem, even with back against the fence, was able to land a side knee to the head.
 
Just compared how bang looked today to previous weigh ins. Jeez he looks terrible not sure if hes just not in great shape think he needed the towel or usada.
 
Odds creeping up on Barnett. Please give me evens

If he looked worse than vs Kuntz thats pretty terrible considering he was supposedly injured for that one
 
I really like Gus but there is any reason to not bet Blach at +500?
Gus is a little taller but Jan is no midget and Gus has bad striking defense. Stranger things happened in the sport.

Hard to bet on Jan when you know Gus' weakness. You could say he's only lost to Athletic and explosive fighters who have serviceable to really good wrestling.

Ya cause hes Jan Blachowicz

This is easily one of the biggest mismatches of the year. Championship level fighter vs bottom tier LHW. +500 is not nearly enough when you can still put that risk on Gus KO at + odds. imo, Gus by KO at + odds is one of the best lines of the year.

I'm putting Gus by KO in my round robin but no way am I betting on that straight.

Dunno why. There is not a single reason to believe Jan can go 15 with the caliber of Gus, and getting a line like that at + odds is a gift

I think decision is just as likely, Gus doesn't have great power and Jan is durable. Also don't trust a guy who's been through 2 wars, been KO'd cold and talked about retirement enough to bet on one outcome straight
