What are your thoughts about stacking the 5-round fight in cash games?

h3budda: There are not a lot of great underdogs on this slate or values. I believe you are forced into stacking the main event for a nice floor of striking. You are looking at a potential 5 rounds of competitive striking. It is concerning if either gets a finish.

Moneyball16: I think this one is a pretty easy stack. It could end early, but this one is close to a coin flip, and it should be fought at a solid pace.

Bward586: Ideally, we stack the main event because both fighters have strong floors. That’s not the case this time. However, the winner likely gets there with a knockout, and it’s a tough fight to call, so you don’t want to take a chance on not having the winner in your lineup.

LiamPicksFights: I think this is a viable main event stack because Khalil Rountree Jr. has early KO upside and is likely to score in the early rounds with a chance to go over 100. Hill has proven 100+ point upside, and he is capable of taking over in Rd. 3/4/5. I am not afraid to pick a side on one main event piece and hope for an early finish in GPPs, but a stack is probably sound in cash games.
