What are your thoughts about stacking the 5-round fight in cash games?
Moneyball16: This one is quite likely to end early and end up with one of these fighters scoring very low, so it’s not the best 5-rounder to stack ever, but I am still going to stack it because who knows who will win this one. It is close to 50/50, the scoring pace should be high, and we still have some odds that this one goes the full 25 minutes.
Bward586: While the fight is -750 to end inside the distance, it’s a close matchup between two fighters who each average more than five significant strikes per minute, roughly a takedown per 15 minutes, and have enough power to pick up knockdowns. Unless you have an extremely strong feeling about who will win, it’s an obvious stack.
LiamPicksFights: I don’t like the idea of stacking this fight. Early in the week, the widely available total was an over/under of 1.5 rounds. I think these two will likely swing it out until one man falls. If that is the case, give me the leverage, the salary relief, and the proven upside of 100+ fantasy points of Onama in the majority of my lineups. I think having at least one half of this main event is a no-brainer given the pace and potential for violence.
Which fight are you most likely to avoid and why?
