To be honest with you. I doubt even he know's who Birdy is. I think he meant his butt buddy from Iran "bird brain".

**Ron_Paul_2012** · 08-16-13, 08:43 PM

Mollo is a live dog. However, I still decided to stay away from this match. I have everything tied up on tomorrow's cards (Kovalev & UFC). I will post my plays just before the card starts. No free tips. Too many parasites that do not bring anything to the table except some unintentional comic relief.

**hougigo** · 08-16-13, 09:18 PM

So far... the same as I thought. Mollo still no defense and charging forward taking shots to give a shot... Spilzka hitting him with shots every time he tries.

I think he is. He's in better shape and looks to be just as fearless as he is healthy... I think it ends the same though.
I took Spilzka SU when he was in the low 300's... got scared after weigh in though

**hougigo** · 08-16-13, 09:26 PM

Wow... this fight is exactly like the first one ut without a crappy ref. Mollo getting dead tired again... just knocked down Spilzka

**hougigo** · 08-16-13, 09:35 PM

OHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!
Ended a round earlier than the first
He looked like christ on the cross after he got dropped.. scary one punch knockdown

**hougigo** · 08-16-13, 09:50 PM

I have Fonfara SU, but I wanted to take that decision prop

**hougigo** · 08-16-13, 10:48 PM

Campillo in complete control right now.
He should be winning, but who knows with his fights

**hougigo** · 08-16-13, 11:04 PM

Wow...... wow
I won... but Campillo outclassed this guy.
I did not see that KO happening

Also taking Fonfara right now because it's impossible to take cloud in anybodies territory.
Cloyd gets robbed so many times it's ridiculous, so there's no way I can take him here even though I think he's the upset prince with a better skill set and more experience.

Also keeping an eye on Mollo/Spilzka and see if it goes up any more for Spilkza. He was dropped twice against Mollo, but still came back to KO him. He might be in Mollo's place again, but i still see him winning by KO. He landed way to many shots on Mollo and unless Mollo is really tentative, he'll do it again.
Mollo is just aggressive and that'll leave him open for Arthur to land some good shots

Did I say Cloud? I mean Campillo.
But yea... this is a hunch for me. I don't doubt that Campillo is a better fighter, he is most definitely a better fighter. Fonfara had trouble with an aging and old Johnson who retired right after. I thought he was losing the Kaprancy fight until the KO though.
But it's Campillo... it's so hard to take him because everything is always against him. Most of his losses are such blatant robberies that you don't really feel like taking him.
While I do think Campillo will do good in this fight and probably win, Fonfara is fighting in Chicago,Illonois... he has a huge fanbase there.
I just can't take Campillo because I feel like a robbery is coming. This is just superstition i guess.
Speaking of Cloud.... another fight Campillo should have won

I was totally expecting robbery... wow

**Boxscout** · 08-16-13, 11:19 PM

Lost small here. Nice for Fonfara though. I guess he's in line for Hopkins/Murat winner. After he loses to Hopkins, he should still be a healthy draw in Chicago. I'm sure that 0/10,000 fans were disappointed in their night at the fights. Losing doesn't bother me as much when it's good for the sport.

Good for you too Hougigo.

Thanks man... looks like my hunch was kind of right. Robbery was incoming... IMO, it was a shut out or at least 1 round to Fonfara.

**Boxscout** · 08-17-13, 01:38 AM

That Bill Lerch guy has now judged 5 straight Fonfara fights. So, if Fonfara wins, he gets to do another big show that pays well. No conflict at all. Oh well, better it happened by hook than by crook.

I watched without audio and I'll say, I thought it was closer than a lot of the accounts I was seeing. You could definitely score it wide to Campillo, but a few rounds looked close to me. Wasn't actually scoring it, though.

No one near -500, not like you have anything to bet

Yeah, dude seems to be getting even more cautious with them too.. Im sure he has the capability though offensive to defensive wise.

Has Birdy ever really been tested in any of his fights? Or just murder everyone?

Oh, well he's alright. His best win is against Austin Trout and that was closer than the scorecards indicated. He looked better than I thought he did though against him.

As for the rest of his opposition, very underwhelming since he won the belt. He fought the same number of non JMW's as he did JMW's for his title and the JMW's he fought were not impressive except for Trout.

**hougigo** · 08-17-13, 03:11 PM

I'm feeling feisty....what do you guys think about Lauzon via submission prop?

**mirinquads** · 08-17-13, 03:25 PM

Its a minus odds, would not bite on that.

**hougigo** · 08-17-13, 04:05 PM

I think at the very least he takes it inside the distance. I feel like taking Faber via decision and maybe a small on Sonnen

**hougigo** · 08-17-13, 04:10 PM

Wow, Stephen Smith vs Buckland was Pacquiao KO all over again

**mirinquads** · 08-17-13, 04:28 PM

Lauzon ITD, Faber should hit

**hougigo** · 08-17-13, 04:51 PM

Kovalev via destruction in round 3 and 4, 4 being the end.
To the people who took Cleverly..... sorry
But the boogie man just proving who he is, a heavy handed bad man

**ArchieUD** · 08-17-13, 05:02 PM

**hougigo** · 08-17-13, 05:40 PM

Okay, so I'm decent at boxing, but my MMA knowledge is very limited.
Anybody want to post some good ideas for tonight?
I think Sonnen can take it as long as he doesn't get subbed... if that makes sense

**hougigo** · 08-17-13, 05:42 PM

Happy!
I was going to take Brown, then decided against it because I don't know ish

**On2TheNext1** · 08-17-13, 05:42 PM

Thanks for turning me on to Kovalev.

Oh you saw that?
I forgot when I posted it, but I believe it was buried because it was weeks ago.
Keep an eye out for him, he's a bad man.
He moves around decent, but the way he can put combos together while moving with that kind of power is so damn good.
Expect more KO's in his future... even Hopkins

**hougigo** · 08-17-13, 06:00 PM

Two dogs who might bite.

Going small on both.

Miura/Thompson over
Both men very tough with Miura's only KO coming via the hardest and best fighter in the division, Uchiyama. Miura is sharp and has a good way of finding your chin. Unless these guys bum rush each other, I don't see this ending early, but maybe a late KO happening for either men. Winner wise, I see this as a 65-35 with the winner winning by KO.
If anything, Thompson's crowd will carry him to his first victory

La Bomba over Segura:
I think Segura is done at this point. He hasn't been the same since that Viloria beating and this fight is in Puerto Rico. They will carry La Bomba if Segura doesn't KO him, place is pretty bad on the cards.
If La Bomba doesn't try to hard to get him out and gas out, I see him winning. If he does though, Segura can take him to deep waters and KO him.
Segura also too wide when he trows and brawls, but if you're not ready, he'll drown you.
The tiny dog seems good for me

**hougigo** · 08-17-13, 07:26 PM

Well, Lauzon ITD looks bad.

**hougigo** · 08-17-13, 09:38 PM

Wow, thank you Sonnen!
1-1
Wish I took Faber by 3 round decision, but hey, can't win them all.

**hougigo** · 08-17-13, 09:47 PM

Boxing upset:
Didn't touch it, but Kiko Martinez pulled off an amazing upset

**Ron_Paul_2012** · 08-17-13, 10:11 PM

1st round to Barker or maybe even.

**Ron_Paul_2012** · 08-17-13, 10:15 PM

2nd round Barker. Rounds are very close though. Could go either way. Barkers blows are definitely more powerful though.

**hougigo** · 08-17-13, 10:16 PM

Yea, Barker with the more telling blows, Geale with the activity.
