Nice second wind from Anyanwu there I thought he was done cardio wise and Ledet's still going to win but he's giving it his all

Not sure this was a good play at -400 despite the fact it's one sided skillset wise just because HW/puncher's chance/Ledet isn't fighting the smartest fight of all tme

wow r3 was actually close due to Anyanwu's flurries. 30-27 or 29-28 Ledet both fine I guess. I'm going to count it if I make a profit on every fight on the card, so Usman dec counts too as I win 300 on that now vs 2300 on a Moraes win or a loss on a 2k and change loss on Usman finish

Thinking about a Perry KO or ITD bet, not sure about Gillespie/Gonzalez. I expect Gillespie to win I guess.

Wait what the **** how did one judge score that for Anyanwu, I mean I get that Ledet fought safe/boring etc but how the hell do you score r1 or 2 for Anyanwu

At least sanity prevailed for two judges again

HW's fine if the fighters come to brawl or if they're top 25/skilled, the lower level ones who come to cage lean or spar until they gas make terrible fights though

I still like HW fights, it's just a shame that

I think they should make Ledet vs Arlovski next. An aggressive striker who will stand and trade and rankings wise it might make sense given Arlovski's slump and Ledet's won a few but vs lower rank guys. That's the fight to make, test whether Arlovski's done or he gets a rebound win. Anyanwu can fight whoever the worst HW is on the roster, he was short ntoice and kept trying so he deserves one more chance even though he had nothing really other than effort.

Perfect card is still alive.

Ew, did not like that from the moment they started swinging. Nice win Usman. There goes a chunk of my profit but still up for the card

Gonna just have my Lombard/Smith ends in KO and main event unders from here I guess

I've had my boxing fix for the year with Conor/Floyd, i'm going to watch the random UFC card over the other biggest boxing fight of the year

Gillespie looks like a beast what a fight so far

Hopefully we get the finishes we need from here on the Lombard and Rockhold fights. Decided not to fire the Perry one too many unknowns

Incredible work by both. Very interested in this next round

Star making performance for Gillespie and Gonzalez brought it too. Gillespie definitely needs to work on his striking defense, these guys earned their extra 50k each.

Gillespie's offensive takedowns are fantastic

This has been a great card other than the HW fight so far (and not just saying that because i'm 5-2 in bets with both losses being on the same fight)

Let's close it out with 3 more finishes please (in the first half of the fight in the main and a TKO in the next fight plz)

Looking 5050 as to whether it ends in a tko or goes the distance after one - Lombard looks quite good compared to his last few fights

Worried we're heading to a 30-27 Lombard here he's lost a bit of power. He could def finish Smith but I doubt Smith finishes him now

Oh wow Smith hurt him shame he let Lombard tie up his leg

Lots of close calls but not quite sold that my -155 was good in hindsight looking more like an even money spot

Obv a dog now but it's live. Hopefully Smith can find his chin again

BOOM there it is

Lombard is the master of losing fights he was winning, Magny, Hendo and now Smith he was winning the fight until he gets knocked out

Interesting stat, Perry and Reyes have both finished 100% of their wins

Was in the process of adding Perry -398, but line went down right as I clicked lol.

Perry has the potential to be such a huge draw if he can become a legit top 5 fighter. I'd be down for Perry/Lawler, but not sure he gets that big a step up yet.

Will be a small winning card for me if the u2.5 loses, moderate if it misses but u3.5 hits or a big winning card if the u2.5 hits.

I think Rockhold should wreck Branch but it wouldn't shock me if Branch finds his chin either

Not sure who i'm cheering for, I don't really have any desire to see Branch fight for the belt unless he performs a lot better than he did againast Jotko

Rockhold is a cocky prick and I can't stand him but i'd LOVE to see Whittaker turn his lights out

I guess i'm cheering for whoever's winning, u2.5 gogo (i've love to see Rockhold get knocked out again but it's such a waste of talent if he loses)

Little bit of late money for the over, but I still like the under here

Triple G's walked Canelo down the whole fight and easily win 8 rds to 4 but one of the judges gave it 118-110 canelo.. on the score cards.

unreal..

Apparently it was Adalaide Byrd, who also scored Rocha 30-27 vs Ellenberger and Guillard 30-27 vs Varner among other MMA abomination scorecards. She also scored it for Garcia over Phan in one of the most famous robberies ever.

She's either corrupt or incompetent across two sports.

I think you could argue for a narrow Canelo win, but 118-110? Insane.

Branch is looking great so far.

Wish I had Branch +4xx after seeing that. Rockhold leaving his chin out again... he's still likely to win but the elite guys will find it

Shame the rounds about to end hopefully Rockhold can get a TD quickly in r2 (or gets knocked out)

Close round but 10-9 Branch due to the shots he landed in the early part of the round

Me too. Didn't bet it, but the value is clearly on Branch here.

Wow, so much for that. That was elite grappling from Rockhold.
