Bellator 112: Straus vs. Curran 3 (March 14, 2014)

[Bumdeal]

Fukkin Simona Halep needs to get her shit together. She's anchoring one of my koreshkov parlays to the bottom of the ocean

[MD]

Don't want to be that guy but... I told everyone so! Koreshkov is a beast and Burrell is not a good fighter.

The guy who brags about cashing a -350 favourite? I thought you were better than that.

burrell's "glass armpit" KO kills the over

It looked weird, but in the replay you could see that Koreshkov hit Burrell with a knee to the chin; very bizarre finish. I had the under and Burrell, but that's not how I expected it to go at all.

[Ron_Paul_2012]

Hightlight the -350 bet you won, and not the bet you lost? Wut?

What -350? I bet 18.75 units @ -300 & 1.75 units on the over. Do the math.

[Bumdeal]

Yea I regretted typing that as soon as I hit enter actually. Just happy he came through because I got a lot of pushback for taking him heavy

[Bumdeal]

What -350? I bet 18.75 units @ -300 & 1.75 units on the over. Do the math.

howd you get it at -300? I don't think I ever saw it there on 5Dimes. Maybe I missed it.

Go ahead & celebrate! I am! MD is just being the turd in the punch bowl for some reason. No class in defeat. Shame on him!

[MD]

Does it matter? You bragged about cashing a -300 bet while ignoring your other losing bet in the same post, then. Core point remains the same.

Betting public seems to be as square as I am, backing Curran.

Bookmaker. I missed the open @ 5dimes when it was -290. But -300 is nothing to complain about.

[MD]

Go ahead & celebrate! I am! MD is just being the turd in the punch bowl for some reason. No class in defeat. Shame on him!

I had u2.5 and Burrell, went 1-1. I was simply pointing out your classlessness in victory.

Yeah. I have a tiny play on Curran @ +150. I was hoping the "depression talk" would get him better than +150 but whatever.

Have you checked out Black Sails yet? Vaughny thinks it's better than GOT's. I think it's different & just as good.

[Crassus]

The guy who brags about cashing a -350 favourite? I thought you were better than that.

Nothing wrong with winning -350 favorites, so long as he wins like 85% of them.

[Ron_Paul_2012]

Curran has the eye of the TIGER!

[MD]

Yeah. I have a tiny play on Curran @ +150. I was hoping the "depression talk" would get him better than +150 but whatever.

I hit it at various prices throughout the week, I like Curran a lot here, 'capped him at -230ish.

[Dwil125]

Anyone have a score for round 2?

[Crassus]

Curran's defensive wrestling is A++ this fight.

[Dwil125]

Yeah he was working his wrestling at team takedown for a little bit this time around.

[MD]

2-1 Curran so far for me, but I'd assume the judges will give it to Strauss for the takedown. I thought Curran landed a lot more meaningful strikes.

[Crassus]

Tough rounds to score...at the moment I'd say the judges have it 2-1 Straus.

[Bumdeal]

I have curran. Surely it's 2-1 Straus now.

[Dwil125]

Lol I have pat by decision and ov 4.5 not straus itd. I think straus is up it's really close though.

[MD]

That round was clearly Curran's.

[Dwil125]

If we could do 10-10 rounds id say the third was definitely one

[fitguy67]

this is the dumbest-assed hick referee for a title fight ever...dumbest instructions ("fight away from the cage fellas")...dumbest interruptions of the action...5th round to ask for a towel and wipe the blood from Curran's face and says..."wow that's a bad cut"...

[Crassus]

Round 3 or 4 Curran did some badass work in the clinch.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

woooooooooooooooow

[Dwil125]

Wow there's goes my pat decision

[Bumdeal]

Holy shit!!!

[Skel]

Holy shit pat curran!!!!!

[brooks85]

Round 3 or 4 Curran did some badass work in the clinch.

but still lost both rounds

[Crassus]

Atta boy Curran, atta boy.

[fitguy67]

and worst choreographed ending ever...strauss as elated as curran to finish the script successfully...hugging curran like they were blood brothers...not a hint of disappointment...ten seconds after tapping to lose his belt he's smiling ear to ear and celebrating with the guy he lost it to...

smells like fish...and a setup to #4..."sports entertainment" in true WWE fashion

[Bumdeal]

Won two dogs, lost on oropeza. Got big money on koreshkov and feeling very confident about it.

Cant decide curran or Straus. Leaning toward a small play on curran itd.

damn I'm an idiot and took curran ML

[Crassus]

and worst choreographed ending ever...strauss as elated as curran to finish the script successfully...hugging curran like they were blood brothers...not a hint of disappointment

Straus knew the choke was in he was just fighting it and hoping that Curran was too weak, that is a pretty common ending.

[MD]

F-ck yes.

Thought Curran clearly won R1 and R4 and was going to get the nod if it went distance, but hey, some people had Straus up 3-1 so the finish works for me.
