couture vs toney

Straight Cash · 08-22-10, 08:57 AM

I'd be pretty surprised if Couture loses, but Toney definitely can lay that one punch. I'm not sure it's worth an all-in bet.

illmatick · 08-22-10, 09:04 AM

I will have a write-up on this fight...hopefully released sometime early next week

Vaughany · 08-22-10, 10:17 AM

Id not go all in on Couture winning, but would but a medium play on him winning by sub or TKO/KO - whichever has best value.

phillybadboy · 08-22-10, 11:51 AM

no all in

snake11eyes · 08-22-10, 02:35 PM

How come yesterday Toney to win was +519, but Toney inside the distance was +515. Now its changed slightly, a couple dollars the other way. I know thats the only way he can win but come on its the same price.

You should never let past losses (or winnings) affect your current plays.

Handjuice · 08-22-10, 05:23 PM

I will be making a small play on Toney ftw. Whenever I think of this fight I'm reminded of Couture almost getting KO'd by Nog.

Kaladarus · 08-22-10, 06:17 PM

Couture's chin is questionable. Nog and Vera both dropped him a couple of times. Toney has some serious power. Even though it's unlikely Couture will lose this fight, I don't think a play at -600 is worth an all in. I'd try to get better odds on Couture and make a smaller prop play on something very likely to happen.

JuicedUp · 08-23-10, 09:44 PM

Couture will get cracked in the first 30 seconds with a vicious left hook. While dazed, Randy will go for a sloppy single leg which Toney defends easily. "Lights out" smells blood and finishes the UFC legend with a straight right at the 1:30 mark of RD 1. An emotional Couture announces his retirement in the post fight interview.

That's how I see it boys. I hope you all buy the PPV to watch Randy's last fight.

darko3131 · 08-23-10, 11:07 PM

don't chase your lose. also if you like betting big mma favorites like randy, king mo and lashley bodog may be the worst book for you. The juice is insane.

Toney may not make weight

Thought it was at heavy weight? How much do they have to weigh at weigh in?

jgilmartin · 08-24-10, 12:04 AM

Will be quite surprised if Toney can avoid the takedown, but Coutoure is -700 now. I wouldn't even lay -700 on Brock Lesnar vs Jose Conseco.

265 is the limit.

GunShard · 08-24-10, 12:25 AM

This looks like a lock.

Couture appears as a mature and focused fighter. Toney appears immature and does not seem to take this fight seriously.

A small bet here seems like a good play.

LearningTree · 08-24-10, 01:24 AM

It's such a lock that it seems like it's not a lock and something will go wrong.

THE_LOCKSMITH · 08-24-10, 12:20 PM

the word was Toney was looking in betetr shape, but on the CountDown show he still looks fat

36mafia · 08-24-10, 12:43 PM

never go all in when chasing

and theres no edge whatsoever on couture at -600 or worse

has square play written all over it,

IMO Couture winning in Rnd 1 at plus and Rnd 2 at plus are best plays for value. I managed to get Couture win in Rnd 1 at 2/1...has now gone down to 13/8.

LOL

Jakesteen · 08-24-10, 02:06 PM

I'm definitely biased toward Randy Cotoure. Ive been a big fan ever since watching him win the Heavyweight Championship the 1st time way back in UFC 6 I think it was. He said he'll beat Toney up and I believe him.

Now down to 6/4...will probly be at evens by saturday!

jin2daj · 08-24-10, 02:28 PM

dont do it. its too much

Pabinator · 08-24-10, 04:03 PM

Yeah I dont think Couture is as much of a lock as people think, although I do think he will win

lasker · 08-24-10, 11:10 PM

Will 5dimes come out with odds on Couture by submission? I hope so.

Agreed.

flyek · 08-25-10, 04:54 AM

I think over 1.5 rounds at +216 might be worth a shot. Couture could try to wear him down with dirty boxing, ground n' pound and maybe even some low kicks.

Mr.Kitty · 08-25-10, 06:01 AM

The countdown show really convinced me. I want Toney to go out there and knock Couture the **** out, BOOM! lights out! that shit would be exciting.
Go get it Mr. Toney!

BIGDAY · 08-25-10, 08:17 AM

THis card actually has some dog value. I think a prop play will be the best value for Couture.

I think Couture is more likely to go in and make a statement. He will probably try to submit Toney in the first round and I doubt Toney will have any answers for him on the ground. Also if Toney wins it will be a quick KO. You never know though it could last 1.5rounds.

JayTrotter · 08-25-10, 06:18 PM

I am confused. James Toney is a great inside fighter... how can randy have an advantage in clinches or dirty boxing?

-700 is ridiculous. ought to be a law, if you are over 45 u have to be -400 or less..

Varker · 08-25-10, 09:24 PM

looking forward to this fight.
