Brainiac's MMA and boxing PLAYS

TheBrainiac · Feb 21, 2009

Dos Santos gets the clinch breifly, and Struve works free. Dos Santos rocks him with a left hook. A right hand drops Struve. Referee Dan Miragliotta jumps in at the 54 second mark after a quick follow up from dos Santos. Struve protests afterwards. There is a whiff about the stoppage, though Struve was clearly rocked.

Glad I woke up in time to place this play .

WEEK PLAY # 8

Sat 2/21

UFC 95

Wilson Gouveia vs Nate Marquardt

My pick is Nate Marquardt to win

Odds : - 250

Where : pinnaclesports

12.5 units to win 5 units

If rest wins I might bet something on the main event . Now this really sucked , Kos got too cocky there .

dps831 · Feb 21, 2009

damn i am in absolute shock about kos getting ko'ed in the first round

TheBrainiac · Feb 21, 2009

He was doing fine pre KO bullying this guy around the ring , I wish he just took him down and pounded out ...
Now need Maia to sub Sonnen or this can be a not so good day .

dps831 · Feb 21, 2009

very impressive throw to mount, followed by a triangle, maia is an absolute stud. I feel stupid for betting against him now.

fsugolf · Feb 21, 2009

kos killed my parlay, but maia pulled through w/ a beautiful sub

TheBrainiac · Feb 21, 2009

3-1 but up just a little bit thanks to Koscheck KO otherwise this would be pretty big .

WEEK PLAY # 9

Sat 2/21

BOXING PARLAY

Middleweight 12 rounds - Chevrolet Centre, Youngstown, Ohio - PPV

Marco Antonio Rubio vs Kelly Pavlik

My pick is Fight won't go distance

Odds : - 400

+

Welterweight 12 rounds - Madison Square Garden, New York - PPV

Michael Jennings vs Miguel Angel Cotto

My pick is Cotto wins inside distance

Odds : - 500

Where : 5dimes

Combined odds : - 200

5 units to win 2.5 units

Almost no doubt for me that Cotto will stop Jennings in this fight . Count on Pavlik to win by KO but he gets dropped sometimes and lost last fight so I rather lay extra juice in case Pavlik gets stopped here .

TheBrainiac · Feb 22, 2009

This week :

Boxing : 1-0 + 2.5 units

MFC 20 : 2-1 - 1.37 units

Thanks Ryan Ford for this , too bad I didn't realize how overrated this guy was .

UFC 95 : 4-1 + 8.6 units

Oh boy ... Josh Koscheck got caught , until this point Thiago probably threw like 1 punch keeping his hands very low so I still think he has weak stand up . Nothing to do here , Koscheck is idiot and got caught getting way too confident , should just take this guy down and I bet you he would GNP him out in less 1 min . Everybody else won pretty easily , - 10.65 units swing on Koscheck really killed a great day , instead of + 19u almost 11u less . ^<<^

MFC 20 + UFC 95 = + 7.23 units

Boxing RTD : 17-4 +101.9 units
MMA YTD : 69-30 + 102.77 units

LOL @ this opening line and move , - 450/+350 at same bookie .

WEC 39

Marcus Hicks vs Rob McCullough

My pick is Rob McCullough to win

Odds : - 140

Where : bodog & sportsbook

4.2 units to win 3 units

If Rob is focused and got his touch back he should win this fight . Yes , he has lost 2 out of his last 3 but he lost by decision to Cerrone and Varner who are head and shoulders above Hicks , Jamie owned Hicks pretty quick even tho Hicks took some punches but thats not the point of MMA fight where you can eat as many punches as possible and still stay on the feet .
Watch Rob's fight with Cerrone and you will see how tough he is , only tougher I've seen is probably Donald Cerrone himself against Varner .
Hicks to me looks like Joe Daddy with a strong guillotine and ok boxing but that's about it . I think Rob got good enough takedown defense to keep it on the feet where he is clearly the more technical striker . Hicks is probably gonna swing and Rob can catch him , maybe with a knee . Also haven't seen Hicks in the later rounds if this goes over 5 minutes I am not sure how his cardio is , guy looks very bulky and might not have a lot of energy after 5 minutes fight .
My worry here is that people talk about Rob being washed up and all that but I dont think its a shame he lost to Cerrone and Varner , both guys are great fighters .
