However he is subpar defensively, lots of head movement but lacking footwork. He was tagged by right hand counters all night by wineland which is McDonald's bread and butter.

    I'm all over mayday at -190, basically a better, younger, and more technical version of pickett IMO.
    Mayday is pretty easy to take down, and he gasses pretty badly. Pickett's work rate is a huge concern. I 'capped Mayday at about where the line is. Maybe a bit lower.

    I consider McDonald to be a far inferior version of Wineland, to be honest. He's worse in pretty much every area. The Wineland fight says a lot about how he'll do against Pickett.

        Interesting perspective, appreciate the reply.

        Picketts work rate is definitely my main concern. McDonald doesn't have world class takedown defense by any means, but from what I've seen he has a serviceable sprawl, and although he hasn't always been able to fully execute, his instincts when it comes to TDD are actually very sound from a wrestling perspective and I expect his overall TDD to improve from last fight. All in all I don't see Pickett's takedowns being enough to threaten too much, and mayday's defensive guard when hes fresh has actually impressed me a lot.

        Cardio definitely is a worry, but I think he controls distance with his jab and lands counter right hands in the exchanges consistently enough to take this one. Pickett's tendency to plant his feet and trade directly in front of his opponent without cutting angles will be his undoing in this one IMO.

        I'm on the Reem and McGregor with you though

          This is a prime candidate for a judges robbery imo.

          On paper Mcdonald should win the fight, in the same way Wineland did. Thing is Wineland solidly outstruck Pickett and still ended up with a close split decision. Granted judge was Mark Smith who is just straight up awful or consistently paid off or whatever, but Pickets aggression could definitely get him and undeserved decision, or sway judges in a close fight. I also expect Pickett to be able to get takedowns later in the fight, if not right off the bat. Mcdonald aint no Wineland takedown defense wise.

          Mcdonald is 12 years younger and evolving at a rabbit pace though and is a very good fighter and like I said, should win on paper.

          Would bet fight goes the distance or starts 3. round instead though.

                    I got a PM from SBR a few months ago saying that if I follow some Twitter account and let them know, they'd give me SBR points, but I can't post my Twitter where I give out free plays. Can't make this shit up.

                            Not Twitter itself as a company I'm referring to a single person's twitter account. SBR's policy for dishing out infractions via Twitter plugs.

                                    I'm not limited for MMA on 5D at the moment. Not so lucky on some other books.

                                      Finished down on my Twitter bets, and didn't do much better for the night myself. Pretty much broke even and only profited for the day because of boxing. I think I got screwed on that 'Reem bet, it should seriously have been stopped when he dropped Travis multiple times and Travis wasn't responding to his punches. I was definitely wrong about that Hall bet, though. Incredibly awful, probably the worst bet I've made all year.

                                          I don't understand what hall was even doing out there. After he lost the second round and it was 1-1 he should have started to take the fight seriously. He wasn't even tired and had tons of energy from the slow pace, and he didn't even use it to win the third round and secure the fight. He's 6ft tall with an 80inch reach and couldn't beat a guy whose 5'7??

                                            Yeah, it was baffling. My problem with how I 'capped the fight isn't with his skills, because I think I 'capped his skills just fine; he obviously had what it took to beat Doomsday. The problem is that while I say his performance was baffling, he is a baffling guy with a lot of mental holes. That's incredibly important and something I should have put a lot more thought into. It doesn't matter how sure I am that Hall could have circled around him and destroyed him at range all night, if Hall is just going to decide to grapple and take breaks during rounds. He's beginning to remind me of Akiyama.

                                                For anything...and I'm talking about a friend who just made an account actually and I asked him what his limits are before he even started to play. So I assumed those are the standard limits.
                                                My personal account is limited to about 5$ or less.
                                                So you have more than 100 limit even for early MMA lines?

My problem with how I 'capped the fight isn't with his skills, because I think I 'capped his skills just fine; he obviously had what it took to beat Doomsday. The problem is that while I say his performance was baffling, he is a baffling guy with a lot of mental holes. That's incredibly important and something I should have put a lot more thought into. It doesn't matter how sure I am that Hall could have circled around him and destroyed him at range all night, if Hall is just going to decide to grapple and take breaks during rounds. He's beginning to remind me of Akiyama.
                                                  Was a lot of that going on yesterday, Lauzon just walking around like a zombie comes to mind.. penetrating hard sport to cap when people take opioides before their fights

                                                    My personal account is limited to about 5$ or less.
                                                    So you have more than 100 limit even for early MMA lines?

                                                      Lauzon def did not look like himself. Worst fight I've ever seen him in. Guess he's done being exciting and going for finishes.

                                                      Dude was actually content to strike and get whooped. I assumed he would be looking for a takedown from the opening bell.

                                                            It's 250 for openers on straight lines, 100 for props. Goes up to 500+ closer to fight time.

                                                            Same, barely. Thought he clearly won R1, clearly lost R2, scraped out R3. I would have been just as unhappy if he had won, though. Wrong side is wrong side.
