Just checked the betting line for Cyborg/Holm: WOW!!!

[marvinparsons]

I could see them fighting tentatively. Anyone have a clue as to Cyborg's gas tank if it goes to rounds 4-5?

I'm inclined to wager heavy on the fight going over 1.5 rounds.

what does over/under mean ?

 

[clivers]

I've been tempted by a holly and Edson by ko/tko at 44/1

Nuggets like this is where you can really take the bookies to the cleaners.

Risky one, Holly can do it but her chin is the issue. She gets hit and if it happens with Cyborg she's going down quickly. On the other hand she's the only one who can stick to a game plan of not being hit, smothering Cyborg and bringing it to the later rounds, where she should push it.
Honestly, this is risky betting, and it's coming from someone who won 40-1, getting round and ko for Holmes vs rousey....

Holy just lost to shevshenko, de random, and Tate

But she's going to beat cyborg?

Sure.

Oh yeah and she has no ground game. Good luck Holly

This guy knows it, we all like Holy for the favour she did to the world, but let's face it: She has known flaws.

Still I'd bet on her since the other way around is paying way too little to compensate.

This fight will 100% go longer than 1.5 rounds

This is when you know you have a legitimate gambling addiction.

Well rest assured cyborg will also come to fight.

I think you forgot about the "skilled" part. Cyborg's most technical moments are in the sauna when she's cutting weight. She doesn't have to be technically sound because she's just a brute and walks through everything she gets hit with.

I know it was a muay thai fight, but watch her and Jorina Baars. If I remember right, Cyborg got sat on her ass every round and it wasn't even close. Baars isn't a particularly powerful striker either. Her ko percentage sits around 33(45-0-3 14 kos), and not that it's terribly relevant, but Baars' mma record is 1-3 with all 3 losses coming by way of knockout.

Holly is a former boxing, kickboxing, and mma champion. Also, you didn't tell me who Cyborg's last 3 opponents were becahse I seriously don't have a clue.

 

[McGeezle]

She wouldn't engage with fucking Beth for over 2 rounds. Cyborg is gonna clean her clock in under 1.5 rounds and the bookies will take you to the cleaners

Also for sure switch to decimal odds. Especially you americans with your -350 shit

 

[SherdogFan23]

Normally I would pick Cyborg. The difference with this fight is that Holm has fought better competition than Cyborg has. Name one notable opponent Cyborg has fought, ever. I'm not saying it's her fault since there aren't exactly a line of women waiting to sign a bout agreement to fight her, but she hasn't fought anybody. Holm will come to win and that will be the difference.

Cyborg has looked unstoppable, but she's never fought someone with the credentials of Holly Holm. I can see how it would be hard to bet on Holm, but I think she actually gets a stoppage. Cyborg will get picked apart and beat up. The girls that give Holly tough fights are great technical strikers. Cyborg is a brute that will get brutalized.

It's very rare that I'm wrong when I don't care who wins, and I absolutely could not care less about who wins this one. That's just my completely unbiased opinion.

Gina Carano and Marloes Coenen (named two)

EDIT* Gina was short on experience though.
Coenen took Cyborg to 4th round on their second fight.

 

[donkeyjr]

Holly lost to 2 very skilled strikers that actually came to fight, and Tate lost every round until that hail mary choke that came out of nowhere at the last minute. And Cyborg's last 3 opponents were...who again?

Im willing to account bet with you but your account is only 2017....Cyborg has an all around game and can easily take Holly down and finish her there. You will see why she is the most fear woman in wmma.

Holly barely beat that soccer mom until the leg kick. I'm sorry but Holly is going to get wreck and you will see why. The ppl trying to underrate Cyborg are Rhonda fans. lol

Gina was untested, but attractive. Let's be fair and admit that she wasn't notable for her skill. And Coenen has been around she hasn't beat anybody relevant either.

 

[Ozze]

40/1 for a late finish is crazy.

I can see Holy surviving the first rounds and getting a lame not-defending-properly-on-the-feet-because-too-tired TKo on Cyborg.

Still, Cyborg is a heavy favorite .

 

[Black Paladin]

Does anyone use Bovada or Sports Interaction or Sports book
they are two I found by a quick Google search. I just don't want to mess with anything that's not on the level.

I've been with Bovada for fourteen (14) years. It's my longest relationship.

I'd take you up on the account bet but I really don't care about an extra account. I think Holm is much bigger and stronger than you give her credit for, and I also think she operates really well in the underdog position. She also has very solid takedown defense.

Holly barely beat that soccer mom until the leg kick. I'm sorry but Holly is going to get wreck and you will see why. The ppl trying to underrate Cyborg are Rhonda fans. lol

I'm definitely no Ronda fan. Everybody counted Holm out against Ronda too. There might've been some Ronda haters saying Holly would win, but most thought that was easy money for Ronda. You'll be reminded why that was a mistake.

 

[The Natural Born Runner]

Maybe the bookies know what they’re doing, and you’re the nutter...

Smh. 40/1 is reasonable, okay mate.

You obviously never watched women's MMA in the earlier years. Coenen was World Champion in Strikeforce and fought some of the same fighters that fought in the UFC later on. She only lost to Meisha Tate because she was forced to drop down to 135 lbs in Strikeforce. No other fighter has made it to the forth round versus Cyborg.

If Carano had not went Hollywood she would have been a fantastic MMA fighter in time. She was also a natural at the higher weight. She was better in striking than any other fighter Cyborg has fought IMO.

 

[Black Paladin]

what does over/under mean ?

How long will the fight go.

Example: If you bet it will be Over 1.5, then you are saying it will go at least until the middle of round two (2).

ITD means "In the distance" meaning a KO, TKO, or sub happened.

I most certainly did watch wmma in the early years. I admitted Coenen had been around. She's a veteran, but who did she beat that had long term relevance?

Carano was terrified of Cyborg. She looked good up until the Cyborg fight but when the going got tough, she melted and never came back.

There's always hype. Wmma was new and Gina and Marloes were names at the time, but where are they now? Thiago silva was a name at one point..Bret Rogers was too...remember Houston Alexander? He was for real until he fought someone that was for real.

 

[Mga223]

Yes and no.

Ronda wasn't 1/16 over Holly just because people were betting on Ronda, the oddsmakers just clearly couldn't see Holm winning and wanted to minimize the payouts to the customers who were betting on Ronda. The bookies must have lost a lot of money on that fight.

Some dude high up in Melbourne, police chief or something wanted the fight to be investigated because so much money was put on Holly to win.

The guy hates mma he wanted it ban so said the fight was fixed lmao.. Ronda took thst HK intentionally.
