Thoughts so far? I thought Fisher would have had a better showing. So far my bets are 0-4. I took a flier on Reinhardt and had bets on McCrory, Lytle, and Fisher but all have lost.
So far I’m 3-2, missing the Gono-McCrory fight and the Fisher-Edgar fight; that last was a big letdown, complete buzzkill, and Fisher looked so damned good against Sam Stout.
Yeah, I suppose it’s a testament that Edgar is legit as well though. He isn’t the most exciting fighter (are any wrestlers) but Fisher’s a very good fighter.
Got the Herman fight right…Fisher is a good fighter, and he was getting better and better with each fight. I don’t think this was so much a bad fight by Fisher but more a coming out party for Edgar, because it wasn’t even close.
I held off on betting money on that fight as well as the Aurelio-Caudillo one. I just didn’t see value in them but so far all the fights are going to the favorites.
What is the deal with all of the new referees?
I think it has to do with NJ sanctioning. I can’t be sure but that is my only guess as to why the “regulars” aren’t there.
I lost the most part of round 1 and 1 minute and some of the second round… damn Bell satellite!
