TOO LONG, DON'T READ IT
Edgar was outstriking him till he got caught with the elbow.
Yes
Edgar was landing pretty easily on Ortega, clean for most of it. Not like Ortega was landing until the elbow.
I
did not say Ortega was landing more. You are adding things.
Edgar played himself in this fight. He was going all offence and gave away his timing in like two minutes. In the same time he received no info about the timing and attacks of Ortega because Ortega was not attacking, just watching.
Most of Edgar's effective strikes were kicks. Which he abandoned a minute in the fight, I can't tell why, but he did. He punched Ortega 4-5 times with overhand right. From which not all landed clean. I think like a half were glancing blows off Ortega's shoulder. He was defending pretty well. The notion that he is terribly hittable comes from the fact that 1 - he really is hittable, and 2 he likes to take time off to set his traps. And he is
not that hittable, a lot of the punches are landing on his chest area or forearms etc.
I’d bet Max at -200 as long as he wasn’t showing signs of CTE.
I was talking about people that have put Ortega on fading plan - bet on all of his fights to lose. If you genuinely believe in Holloway - that is different.
If you think schevchenko is going to bully Joanna around in the clinch you should go back and watch her fights with Andrade and Karolina.
If you think Joanna isn’t going to be able to deal with schevs strength watch the Andrade fight
You sound like you cap schev at -500 or better. I guess you are laying serious coin on her at -300
I don't know about serious coin, but she can be leg in a parlay with someone else in the card for sure. Andrade is no thai clinch fighter, She does not have the clean technique of Jedrzejczyk. Even when she does the right thing, she is too slow to react and by the time she put her hands where they should be, Jedrzejczyk is already two steps ahead. Technique beats power, remember? In the moments when they were on the fence battling for position and Jesica was not giving up so easy the underhooks, she had some success and was obvious
she was the stronger girl by far. I won't even point out that Jessica is way shorter than Val and this makes it a lot easier for the taller fighter to control her with the thai clinch.
I couldn't be happier with the price on Max. I dont care if hes brain damaged, I think his footwork, volume, cardio, and pressure plus his tdd and hand fighting are miles ahead of Ortegas enough to win him a 50-45 decision.
He have to be flawless for 5 rounds, tho. It's not so hard to do it when you are fighting Lamas, who is safe oriented fighter and won't take any risks and go for he finish, even if he needs it to win. This is not JDS-Tuivasa, where Tai had some chances in the beggining and that's pretty much it. And still was a sweat if you were betting JDS.
I'm going be on Max and JJ. No idea on the rest so far.
Tell me more about your reasons for Jedrzejczyk. I' genuinely wanna know.
No one is going to talk about the odds? been out for like an hour now
I think Theododou is a STEAL, wtf how is he +165? Come on! I am not even done third of the work on these fights, didn't rewatch Elias' last two fights, but will do right now and have to decide if my hunch is accurate.
Still cannot believe the hype of Anders is strong after bad performance after bad performance.
My plans for this card are to parlay Valentina with either Manuwa or Theodorou. And put 5u bet on it. I will have to reawatch a lot of footage of Manuwa and Theodorou to make my decision. If nothing catches my eye will just put 2u on Valentina by sub and that will be my whole betting for the card. I want to check out Nelson's and Ortega's fights but I don't know how much time I will have.
