Pellegrino is a +240 underdog... I think this is a very close technical fight which could go either way.. both fighters coming off losses i'll take the big dog in this one.. love to hear others opinions

Tough fight to pick. I think Kurt has fought tougher competition than Thiago, but that means little for guys with their numbers of fights.
I picked Kurt, but it basically a coin toss.

i think tavares is deservedly the favorite, although i dont think he is anywhere near a -240 favorite. that strikes me as a very good bet. does anyone know what the real sportsbooks have it at?

Kurt, his wrestling will win this for him. Tavarez has struggled against wrestlers in his pas tfew fights (Tyson and Wiman) and i think he will have the same problems against Kurt. i think Kurt wins the positioning and wins the UD.

Wow all i gotta say is WOW.... i've been doing my real money sports betting with sportsbook.com for about 5 years now. So I use them... and they have Pellegrino at +240 too. They post their lines day of the events for all the fights except the main 2 or 3.
I think this is a INSANELY GOOD price and I'll probably have to drop a few hundred on it.

If i gambled real money i would be all over Pellegrino at 240, i really think he wins this fight UD pretty evenhandedly but of course i was on the Pellegrino to beat Diaz train... and we all saw how that turned out lol

I think Tavares is a lot more technically sound then Kurt is... and it was a razor close fight with Griffin, Wiman got the KO but before that the fight was pretty even.. so I dont believe he "struggles with wrestlers" as much as people are saying he does.
Tavares by unanimous dec, ill re-open this thread once he wins.
