Kimbo Slice vs Ken Shamrock Betting Analysis

[JakeT.]

I also took Dan Charles +470 against Bobby Lashley. Lashley hasn't shown anything in the way of cardio or striking. He's just super strong with solid wrestling. That being said he's facing a guy that hits hard and is athletic. Both guys coming in on short notice. I like the potential for the upset here.

I'll also take Chandler as a big fav. -590 sucks but I don't see any way he loses.

Spike. There are actually some halfway decent fighters on the card. Bellator kind of makes the sport look like shit with their freakshow fights a bit but the organization has a couple decent guys that might be top 10 in the world. Bobby Lashley is fighting too. Hasn't been very impressive since coming to MMA but they keep putting him against guys no one knows so you might get a knockout.

Thanks I'm going to tail your plays if one of my books have it.

Love this one. In myself at +505. Lashley hasn't shown me anything either but a bunch of holes in his game. Hands down and thinks his strength will prevail every time (no doubt he has it), but his chin won't, and this could be the night.

Enjoy the fights.

Shamrock needs to hit and run basically.

Kinda. He needs to move forward and shoot for a take down, and hope he gets it. It wouldn't surprise me if he shoots within the first 3 seconds. I don't know if he trust himself with his knees and all to try to establish a jab hit/run style...

 

[Greenbacks]

Slice should take him out in the 1st round.

Slice -305 x 15.....4575/1500

Under 1.5 Rounds -312 x 15.....4680/1500

So William Hill US only had the Kimbo fight, Atlantis reno had the whole card. William Hill's line on Kimbo was about 50 cents better too.

I got Kimbo -270 WilliamHillUS, then I took Dan Charles +450 at Atlantis, and Chandler -600 also Atlantis.

Under 1.5 Rounds -312 x 15.....4680/1500

I like the under 1.5 myself because neither one of these guys has cardio to do jack shit after a couple minutes. However, you never know what these old money hungry fools are getting paid to do.

Also, do you really see that much value in Kimbo to lay that kinda cash? I mean I think Kimbo wins too, but the only value I see is Shamrock inside the D, small...

Good luck. I see Chandler winning too, but I got it going to a decision, so I just can't lay that with that outcome in mind. At -600, he better finish in the 1st.

Dan Charles is the best value on the board by far tonight...I hope he comes to turn his chance of a lifetime into a shining moment.

I'm still trying to find the channel it's on tonight. Spike has a preview of it but not the actual fight. It's not showing up in my guide on Fox either.

Thanks I found it.

Fairly easy round 1 win for Michael Chandler to get things started. The biggest threat was Chandler getting himself DQ'd for a punch to the back of the head. He got the submission win a few seconds after being warned. No harm, no foul.

 

[MattyMatt]

Nice easy showing, Chandler.

 

[JakeT.]

Nice easy showing, Chandler.

Maybe I overrate the guy but I've always thought he's a top 5 fighter in the world at that weight class. Not sure what's up with his recent showings. Probably beat Alvarez (I had him winning the decision) then dropped 2 to the current champ. Figured no way he's regressed to Campos' level. Also on a side note Chandler retweeted me on Twitter when I wrote an article picking him as a fairly large underdog the day before he won the belt. Good dude.

 

[JakeT.]

Next up is Straus vs. Corrales. Anyone have a bet? I'm thinking about going real small on Corrales. He's undefeated and getting close to 4-1. Huge step up in competition. Straus is good everywhere but also has been doing stupid things late in fights recently. I guess a 3-round fight favors Straus since he has done all his stupid shit in championship rounds. Anyone taking the plunge?

 

[JakeT.]

Straus wins fairly easily in the 2nd round. Corrales didn't look totally out of his league but he also wasn't competitive. I could see him taking out quite a few Bellator fighters but Straus was too tough for his big league debut.

Bobby Lashley vs. my big underdog up next. Playing with house money after Chandler's win.

 

[MattyMatt]

I've always liked Chandler too. I saw your comment about Top 10 fighters in the world in Bellator, and I agree. I think Vitaly Minakov is a Top 5 heavyweight. With a little better gas tank, he could be UFC champ imo. McGeary is Top 10 as well. Lima may not be Top 10, but he could crack the Top 15.

 

[MattyMatt]

Straus was too big. A monster for that weight class. He cut his hair to make weight one time. Lol

Spike has Cops on right now, and the fight isn't scheduled to be on until 9pm west coast time.
