This Weekend

+3.7 units

some quick WNF action. . .

Juan Urango wins by 12 rd dec. (+399) .5 units to win 2 units

It's more likely that Urango stops Vilches, who should be overmatched, but I'll take 4-1 that maybe Vilches is up for this big opportunity and is in good shape, fighting just last month and takes it the full way.

CW Vilches wins by 12 rd decision (+2713) .1 unit to win 2.7 units

Just in case.

Greene/Okine Under 9.5 rds (-120). .6 units to win .5 units

I agree with what Fullbrights wrote about Greene. I have not been impressed with the little that I have seen from him so far. I don't put him on the level of the elite prospects in the sport, including his buddy Quillin. That said, this is a late replacement hopefully just there for the paycheck. Greene should be able to stop him.

Good luck buddy.  At least we don't have to worry about baseball interfering with the broadcast tonight.

-.1 units for the night. Got lucky that Greene turned it on in the ninth there.

As for Urango, that was an impressive shot. Unfortunately, he is likely not going to fight Malignaggi, at least not soon. I would love to get a decent line on Paulie in that fight because I'm still not sold on Urango as anything more than a B-level fighter.

Hopefully ESPN realizes that they need to put more cards like this one together and Forget about the boring heavyweights.

Had to dig deep to find a play on this slow weekend of action:

Feliciano by 10 rd. decision (+500) .2 units to win 1 unit


Theres some value in these bets. Gun to my head I would take the hard charging Tsurkan especially against a guy moving up in weight, but I think 5-1 is pretty good when Jesse figures to win a couple rounds at least and this looks VERY likely to go to the scorecards. Tsurkan faded badly in his last fight and if he does it again maybe he will lose another close one.

Feliciano/Tsurkan Draw (+2500) .1 unit to win 2.5 units

If it is going to the cards and going to be close, I'll take 25-1 that the judges are right around 95-95.

-.4 units for the week.

Not sure if I'll play anything tomorrow with the NFL Draft to look forward to.

Good stoppage by the ref. I don't want to see Feliciano in the ring again. I knew he'd take some shots from Tsurkan but I thought he would have some success himself. He didn't and he showed a complete lack of discipline and defense. Tsurkan isn't a superstar and for him to take this kind of beating from him is scary.
