Adrian Diaconu vs. Rico Hoye up on the Great White North, eh.
AD obviously gets the home turf edge, & this is a fairly close fight. AD is a blockly Lt.Heavy, RH is a tallish one, but w/ a mild Voltage edge. Experience is basically a wash. RH has the Resume`, Reach, and Size, edges. AD has home-court, & a pressue stylistic edge, that could help him on the NAFTA score-cards. So I'm leaning towards saying that RH will need at least a KD to get 2 scorecards to read in his favor up in Canada. AD can cut, but he is a pretty game customer, Hoye may be overTrained, due to the earlier postponement via AD dropping a free-wt. on his foot. So this one is an interesting to call. Styles do make fights, if AD works inside, & makes RH uncomfortable, he will prolly pull down the Decision, but if RH can hit AD hard enough, early enough, he can use his Reach & possibly pull the upset. Each fighter has only gone 12 once. I need to see the odds here 1st.
I like the heavy hitting home-townie on the u.card.

Here is what I had written in the other thread on the fight in case you didn't see it and don't worry Diaconu doesn't have a woman as his lead trainer like you thought initially.
Stéphane Larouche is actually a male trainer. He also trains Lucian
Bute (who I am pretty high on), an Interbox stablemate of Diaconu's.
Diaconu has the homecourt edge like you said and I like the way
stylistically he matches up with Hoye. Hoye definitely has the size
edge as well as 2'' reach advantage, but he doesn't use his height like
he should. I don't know if you viewed Hoye's fight against 5' 7'' Montell
Griffin, but I thought he got a gift decision that night. I scored the
fight 8-4 for Griffin as Hoye refused to let his hands go. Hoye has
always been overrated in my book. Won't know for sure if I am playing
Diaconu until the odds come out, but I am off the fight if I don't play
him.
.75 of a unit on Diaconu (-150)
As you can see, I didn't weigh the play to heavily. The odds offered were actually a little lower than I thought, I was expecting 2-1. As long as Diaconu can get out of the 1st 4 rounds without taking a big shot from the heavy handed Hoye he will be fine, but that statement is why I went light here. Talk about a dull week, the sport has a hangover from last weekend. Looking forward to next weekend's action.

I took that AD-120; but barely. 1/10th of a unit Parlayed w/ Mr. Irish for next week & Nadal.
I'm not real sold on either side here, but my take is that AD's pressue style will back Hoye up against the Ropes, & even if AD does or does not do real well; I like him to get the benefit of the doubt that he is doing well up in the land of Elisnore Beer, eh. I've kinda backed into siding on a style here. Still waiting to see what else opens, I might play something else on this if I can find what I want pending any other WNF u.card action. Too bad you kan't play a Total & a Side together. As if AD wins, I like it to be via Decision.

bigeiii- have you seen AD fight before? Your write-up kinda indicates that you have..
Don't know about Bigeiii, but I have.
Wow, I log back onto 5dimes and see that Diaconu has skyrocketed to -215 after even going down to -120 for a while. I was expecting to see Diaconu as a 2-1 fave when odds were offered and they found a way to get there in a hurry.

I added the LOW on Davis & Smith. Davis could crack at Cruiserweight, but he got cracked a few times as well. That latter part won't be any easier up at Heavyweight. TS has a bit of Power, & a sizeable Size edge here. I took the FNF u.card LOW as well. Took all of that & added it to AD ITD, I'm now liking AD a bit more.

AD-120 wins. AD ITD+256 wins. Hoye ITD does not win, nor does AD via Decision. But that +256 put everything in the black all by itself.
AD did something I've not seen in a long long while 2nite. He caught Hoye w/ a Left-Hook on the Left-side of Hoye's face. No wonder such a TX sized sanguine gusher opened up. AD sure has a lotta name guys ahead of him at Lt.Heavy. & AD is fairly powerful for being so compact. It will take a strong straight shot puncher to beat AD when AD rushes in. (Dawson comes to mind here) But I'd have to give AD a long look vs. most of the other name Lt.Heavies ahead of him (in particular if AD could get one to come to Canada).
Clearly AD is game, ready, willing & able as Offense goes. I need to see more to size up his Defense; as I did not see a lotta head-movement, nor much other than a straight on charge. But when you can back your guy up, that's ok. So IF I were AD's handlers, I try to match him w/ a couple more fringe guys b4 I try to ink a shot at a Belt. But that shot sure does appear to be on AD's horizon to me. Color me Maple-Leaf impressed.

Shows how digging can (sometimes) yield hidden 411 gold. Took me until late afternoon to get a re-up on some info' for that fight.
bigeiii
Don't know what kind of last minute gold you found Bigeiii, but I would be interested to hear it. I said last week it was Diaconu or bust here, I knew what I was playing when this fight was announced on the WNF schedule. Hoye has always been and will always be a bum in my mind. All he had was a "punchers chance" because I do give him the fact that he is heavy handed, having never seen Diaconu cracked before to know about his jaw and the fact that he had never had a spotlight fight before were the only things that kept me from going larger here.

I don't think that Smith can stop him (unless his chin is completely gone) and this would mean that Davis would only have to win 1 round on all scorecards barring any KD's, plus of course Davis by KO would also be a winner. I see value in the 3-1 odds on Davis, but for some reason I see him losing a 97-93'ish decision and am going with this instead.

IF that fight does go the Distance, I can buy you've got a winner, but I thought the rules were any KO beats the pts.handicap player on either side Fbs?
I'm leaning towards a Smitty & Vera Parlay. Not sure yet, If I don't get back in, I won't cred myself w/ that, as I'll just settle for the above Totals. For everyone's 411: this card starts at approx' 10:30pm Eastern, not the normal 9pm.

The lessor Cotto took a Draw in Puerto Rico?!? Well; at least it did not cost me anything; & that's why I call him the lessor Cotto. Singwangcha might possibly have won, I'd like to see that, as taking 2 evens for one 5 point win as the visiting-team makes me wonder out loud.
I added each side w/ The Gentleman road-warrior, as I presume he is less close to empty than 'tel-Griff is, though I do kinda favor MG personally. (C'town in there as well; Series).
