cant wait for the oleivera/miller fight. i dont know why they arent the co-main event instead of struve/mccorkle. alves/doomsday should be exciting as long as alves is hungry.
Could still be, the order the sites list the fights in is not always the exact fight order.
If ever in doubt, pick against the canadian.
I got Audinwood over the Canadian guy!

Especially true in Canada, and when facing a guy who calls himself "Awesomely Awesome".
Audinwood-Makdessi is up first. Arena already at least 2/3 full.

Hopefully nobody else took this advice. 2 30-27s and 1 30-26, Makdessi. I see an Awesomely Awesome cut next week.

No way. If ever in doubt, you should pick the hometown hero. Pick the germans in germany, australians in australia, canadians in canada. That's my system for any undercarders I have little to no information on and it's incredibly successful lol.
Only pick against the canadians if they're fighting in the states.

Well, there are several Canadians on the card tonight, so we'll see how it shakes out. I feel that local (and often lesser) talent is sometimes brought in locally to sell tickets though.

I find that any time there's a card outside of the states you will be guaranteed that there will be a minimum of 1-2 undercard fights where an unknown but talented hometown fighter is set up with someone he's expected to beat. I think it's a strategy they use not only to get ticket sales, but also to get the crowd pumped up early for the main card.
I'm only talking about the undercard fights between virtually unknown fighters though. The rule doesn't apply if the fighters are remotely well known or on the main card.
First Canadian loss tonight. 3 30-27s, Almeida. Run, Ricardo, Run.
Canada now 2-1 as Pierson solves the Riddle. 3 30-27s. Junkie had it 30-26 Pierson via a 10-8 round 1.
0-3 with a blown parlay is not how I like to start the night

Riddle got dominated according to the writeups. It also doesn't sound like he even tried to use his wrestling. Kind of interested to see this fight.

That sucks
mind you looking back on my parlay i don't even know why i bothered: Event Parlay Wager on D. Hazelett, R. Almeida, J. Stevenson Potential Earnings: $1,235Potential Loss: $1,000... If only I double checked it before hand...
Picks wise 1-2 so far....
