Alright I'm passing on Alvey ML. This kid is pretty well rounded. He's faced a ton of grapplers lately (exclusively for 3-4 fights now) and he's shown excellent scrambling and getups plus urgency in the clinch to dig for underhooks. He's always on his toes. He does a LOT of good things but he still pushes forward with these wide overhands and telegraphs basically everything he throws. Sam Alvey should be able to counter strike here and land a big shot for the finish. I may not favor him to win this fight anymore but at +480 for the TKO, I believe we have some really solid odds.
