Friday Night Fights

Question

Sometimes there are "all action" fights that you can't blink. The co-feature on tonight's Friday night fights should be exactly one of these...

Byarm/Abdusalamov under 7.5, -175, 17.5 units.

Byarm ITD, +622, 2.5 units

I simply don't like Cruz's old legs. Every fight he is in seems to be a dogfight and he isn't exactly hard to find. Fortuna has feasted on inferior opposition early in his career. However, this represents a logical step up in class against a certified gatekeeper.

The problem is Cruz is generally passive and not a particularly fast starter. Fortuna will bum-rush him early and I don't believe Cruz can land anything to stop Fortuna from coming in with reckless aggression. I wish there were round props, as I would simply take a shot at the 1-3 at a small "+" number. Unfortunately there isn't such a prop so I have to take Fortuna ITD at -175, 8.75 units.

what you like tomm?  Thompson contrary to belief gave Wlad a tough fight last time out, thinking of taking Wlad by dec &#x2B;350

walktheline · Answer

Over 9.5 rounds at &#x2B; money. If Thompson finishes the fight, it&#x27;s an improvement on his last fight against him. That might be his plan after once again struggling to find offense in the fight.Also, Wlad frustrates the hell out of me. He simply REFUSES to take chances to finish opponents since Peter knocked him down three times when he was well ahead. Makes sense too, since he is always miles ahead on the cards anyways.

Good call last night. I had Fortuna ITD at -105 on 5dimes. Did the price shoot up closer to fight time? I put my bet in around 4pm I think.

I like Wlad over 9.5 rds today too for all the reasons you said.

I might be crazy, but I think Rosinsky is worth a bet against Pavlik at 6-1.

walktheline · Answer

Yeah Danno, the price was spiking around fight time. I didn&#x27;t get a chance to even see the prop until I bet it shortly before I posted. I feel KP either wins 8-2ish or stops him in the 7th.
