Rosalinda Rodriguez -600 v Monica Franco +400<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nRodriguez is the biggest favorite on the card, and I agree with the linemakers. Rodriguez is undefeated in her boxing and bare-knuckle fighting career, and she has all the proper stances and form of a boxer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
She has good volume, accuracy and she has power, but isn\u2019t too aggressive and she has a good guard and movement to avoid big shots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Franco barely won her first bare-knuckle fight by split decision agaisnt Khortni Kamyron, who is a lackluster fighter. Franco comes from an MMA background and almost had a point deducted because she almost threw a leg kick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
She was very low volume to the point the ref had to encourage action from the fighters. She\u2019s not a natural boxer, and Rodriguez will piece her up<\/strong>, and I\u2019m not worried about the random KO as Franco doesn\u2019t have that kind of power<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nMurat Kilimetov -650 v Tre Cook +475<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy is this fight interesting? Well, neither of them have been in a Bare Knuckle Boxing match or any other boxing match. All MMA fights, and neither of them have fought since 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Tre Cook has lost his last 4 MMA fights by submission, but there are no submissions in Bare Knuckle. That being said, Cook is 38 years. Kilimetov should be more crisp and disciplined, but I\u2019m not laying this juice<\/strong>. Fight is a pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nJoshua Alvarez -500 v Brandon Meyer +375<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s another case where I lean to the favorite, but the -500 price tag is just a lot to invest in. Meyer is 1-1 in BKFC with his loss being to Sean Wilson who is in the main event, but Meyer was outclassed in that fight showing he\u2019s probably not ready for the big fights just yet, but he took Wilson the distance and showed good toughness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
In his first fight, he knocked out Shane Moffitt who is terrible, and I think Alvarez is a nice test for him, and this fight should be way closer than the odds suggest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Alvarez is 4-3 in BKFC, but his last two wins have come against guys who have a combined record of 0-8 in boxing and bare-knuckle boxing. No way I\u2019m betting -500 on Alvarez, the value is on Meyer +375<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nEduardo Concepcion -290 v Brian Jackson +230<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nI\u2019m not high on Jackson so Concepcion will be the pick. Both guys aren\u2019t great, and they both just lost to the same guy (Doug Coltrane), but when looking at the fights, Concepcion took Coltrane the distance and was at least competitive despite the fact he got beat up in the fight. Jackson didn\u2019t seem like he had any offense to mount, and his defense was non-existent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Neither of these guys have fought in a while, and this fight could be wild at the beginning if one of them tries to land the early KO, but I\u2019m not sure Jackson has what it takes to get the KO, and if he doesn\u2019t get the KO early<\/strong> I see Concepcion pulling away<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Markus Suarez -215 v Drew Nolan +175<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is a rematch where the favorite lost the first match because of a doctor\u2019s stoppage, and the fight was very close, but Nolan was pushing the pressure a bit more and was not afraid to eat shots from Suarez to get inside and land his own shots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Both guys got cut, but give Nolan credit as he did more damage and got the win. Now, if you would see what these guys look like with their shirts off, you would make Suarez a -500 favorite as he\u2019s chisled, taller and looks like a boxer while Nolan looks like someone that frequents happy hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
In fact, Nolan is 1-7 in his boxing career with his last fight being his only win, but Suarez is now 0-3 in his career and I think a sprinkle on the underdog is worth it as I don\u2019t think Nolan\u2019s skills match his physique. I\u2019ll take Nolan to make it 2-0 against Suarez<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nWayna Reid -260 v Jim Pulgar +200<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nJim Pulgar has no business being in this fight, he\u2019s going to get smoked. He has two exhibition fights, and he looks awful. Slow punches, bad footwork, and he\u2019s lost both those exhibition fights to terrible fighters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
He\u2019s fighting Wayna Reid who is 0-1 in BKFC, but his loss is to Tony Soto who is 2-0 as a boxer, and he\u2019s 6-0 in BKFC, and Reid took him to the 4th round where the fight was stopped because Soto landed a great punch to the eye that make Reid\u2019s eye swell shut, but Reid looked pretty good and I can\u2019t emphasize enough how big of a step down in competition this is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Reid has much better footwork, and the much more crisp striking. He should win by KO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nBKFC Fight Night Miami Main Event: Howard Davis -400 vs Sean Wilson +300<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n
I believe that Davis should win, but wow this is a steep price. Davis is 5-2, and coming off a loss, but his loss was a decision loss to the Champion, Kai Stewart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Davis fought well, but Kai Stewart has insane pace and volume, and got the better of the scorecards, but Davis landed plenty of good shots, and was not overmatched by much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Sean Wilson has good pace and volume, but he\u2019s 41 years old, and is 3-1 in BKFC against lesser competition than what Davis has faced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Davis looks to be a bit more quick with his strikes, and probably has the better movement which will eventually let him pull ahead. I can\u2019t lay -400, but I like Davis to win this fight, and I think this fight probably goes the distance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n**************************************************<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nLooking for more free sports picks and sports betting tips?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\nMake sure to bookmark all the above!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26575"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26575\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26576,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26575\/revisions\/26576"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26134"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
