    awful hard imo to find value in this one

    torn between taking a load of shorties (brazilians) or taking a pop at
    martins who I think is overpriced

    andrade/silva/ferreira looks good at around 6/4

    wonder is martins overpriced at 4/1?

    even johnson pts at same price

    so undecided on what to do

    next time I'm undecided ill just go with it feck

    who was the favorite for that fight? Johnson didnt stop going foward at all. Good fight

    Barbosa was slight favourite.

    Last fight Ive got a double on Johnson on points and Mir by Sub and a single on Mir by KO.
    I hope its not a sad end to Mir's career! But I think he beats bigfoot everywhere

    Doing accumulators containing all underdogs is dumb as hell but they're a great story when they click I suppose.

    Reckon koscheck is a tad overpriced myself at 9/5

    Why is Holly Holm 9/5 to win by KO? What am I missing?

    She was 33-2 in pro boxing, and she has lethal kicks

    I'm not really sure what your are questioning there tbh. Do you think it should be lower or higher?

    7-0 with 6 Knock outs in MMA. And Combined record is 41-3, and most of them were in boxing were she couldn't kick.

    I meant the odds should be lower, I couldn't believe she wasn't odds on. Pennington's striking is rudimentary and I don't think she has the athleticism to get Holm to the ground

    I think it's a good price for the punter. I've just placed €75 on the KO.
    But it's not outrageous or anything.
    Pennington is tough. And it's not difficult to clearly lose a fight and make it to the final bell.
    KO's are rare at 135, even more so for women.

    Yeah, if Pennington has any smarts she'll try and take it to the floor, she can't stand with Holm. If thats her strategy then I can see it going the distance maybe. Anything else and your 75 yoyo's should be good.

    Went with a double of Holm by KO and Cat/Ronda to last over 1.5 rounds at 6/1.

    Holm looked jacked at the weigh ins, she'll have the weight and we know she has the technique to finish Pennington, who should probably be on an invicta undercard.
    Ronda could well break Cat's arm in the first but I think Cat's resilience will keep her alive through the beating


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,795 ✭✭✭dulux99


    I'm gonna go with Pennington at 5/1. I don't know why, but I'm just not convinced by Holly Holm just yet, and she's only fought once in the past year, hopefully she'll fall victim to the famous "Octagon jitters". To think she's as big a favourite as Rousey, is just a bit mad I think.

    Yeah sorry, it was just a stare down picture, the stage was the same but she was wearing a dress should have copped it.

    Yea she's a big girl, towering over Pennington there , I might just have to get on the Holm by Ko bandwagon as well. That looks like its at the media day.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,851 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    went with this treble at 3/1 (only betv pricing up the bellator card)
    daley fights in about 2-3 hours
    ruan potts doesnt belong in the ufc, I'd be surprised if he made it out
    of the first



    Paul Daley To Win By KO TKO or Disqualification @ 4/5
    (Method of Victory - Match)
    Derrick Lewis To Win By KO TKO or Disqualification @ 4/9
    (Method of Victory - Match)
    Ronda Rousey To Win By Submission @ 4/7
    (Method of Victory - Match)

    Holm by KO, Rousey by KO double 8/1
    Holm by KO, Rousey by sub double 3/1


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭stiffler123


    Also taking Josh Koscheck at 7/4. Ellenberger has looked really tentative in his last few fights, he has big power but he has looked very hesitant to throw. It looked liked he broke against Gastelum and I think the long layoff could suit Koscheck here.

    The only thing to note about Holm is that she didn't KO chicks in her boxing career. She's only started doing that in MMA because of these kicks she has.

    The other thing is that Pennington is tough, she's a 'rocky' type character. She can take a beating and hang in there. Betting the house on Holm by KO could be a mistake, Ive no doubt she'll win but Pennington will be a tough nut to finish, she's got some good trainers and shouldn't be getting caught by the inevitable head kicks thrown.

    Holm didn't KO boxers in her boxing career, but Pennington is no boxer. If the fight stays standing Pennington's head will be spinning and a big punch or kick will catch her on the chin. It's not guarantee but the odds are great considering the relative skill levels.

    Pennington is good on the inside, she's a brawler. She could pressure hard tie the fight up with dirty boxing and maybe nullify holm who's grappling would be the weakest part of her game.
    Dont get me wrong I think Holm will win by KO, but its not a foregone conclusion, 9/5 is about right for me. I'll be betting on a points win as well

    Those confident of a stoppage in the Holms fight, paddy power have round betting as follows.

    Round 1: 3/1
    Round 2: 11/2
    Round 3: 15/2

    €20 on each would mean, if Holms wins in the first €20 profit. Round 2 and 3 would see you doubling your money at least. Can someone point out my mistake, as I assume I made one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,273 ✭✭✭EuskalHerria


    Placed this double at 20/1.


    Method of Victory
    Roan Carneiro by Submission @ 13/2

    Method of Victory
    Holly Holm by KO @ 9/5

    no mistake
    imagine the hurt if it went to pts though

    best prices on all three rounds are 7/2 11/2 10/1

    10/11 v 9/5 pts v ko
    I'd be guessing pts myself but wouldnt be confident enough to back either and at those prices maybe the 9/5 represents a bit of value
    if a man had 500 to spare he could guarantee 67 profit by backing both those given a sub looks unlikely for holm
