Betting odds have Alex slightly ahead of Izzy, Izzy has to hurt Alex but when he comes in he gets cracked. He is the more active fighter although the last fight was no barn burner. Will watch
I think Burns will bulldoze Jorge. Jorge is a such a tactician on the feet but he is not an active fighter. Burns will come in with a haymaker and keep throwing like a wild man while Jorge backs up to the cage. Then he will get cracked by that big power. But Jorge is a sniper so I think it will be a lot of circle and feint with little dispersals of action and fence clenching.
Here is my pick for fight of the night. Font vs Yanez! EWWWWEEEEE! These boys gonna got to war. Neither has ever been stopped by KO/TKO. Both will take a shot to land one. Both guys have a handful of subs but not as many as KO/TKO. Font lost his last 2 vs top guys. Yanez is on a fat ass win streak of 9 wins all but two by KO/TKO. So you see. these guys will bring it.
Holland vs Santiago. I like Holland's personality but he just does not have that killer instinct when he is behind. He is a sniper and a great counter puncher but Ponzinibbo is a tank and remember, Holland went up to 185. He will be the smaller guy. This will be a chess match, matador vs the bull.
Rosas Jr vs C Rod. 1 loss between them by decision on C Rod's record. Jr. is a submission machine. He has finished all but 2 of his wins by sub. He is super creative in his sub attempts, his last win was by face crank whatever that is. C Rod has his wins almost even between KO/TKO and sub. Should be an interesting match between two up and comers. I love these fights with hungry young guys who love fighting and are so motivated to win.
