Larkin's output in that fight was fairly low, there was a lot of inactivity by both guys. Lima was very composed and did a good job countering in that fight. Lima is a top 5 welterweight in my eyes, I bet him vs Larkin and I'll probably do the same vs Macdonald.
That Daley left hook can end anyone too, there's savage highlights of Daley just slumping dudes with left hooks, he's a proven puncher with 29 KO's. Also has a very respectable pro kickboxing record with solid wins. Besides Lima no one has really outclassed Daley on the feet, Nick Diaz got the better of him in a brawl years ago
Larkin can get drawn into brawls like he did vs Ponz and Costa and thats where I think Daley has his best chance to land something. Larkin would be wiser to stay on the outside and use his kicks and speed but I'm not so sure this happens. This is a Paul Daley fight so the outcome can be unpredictable. Don't think I'll bet here, tough to bet Daley but tough to bet against him, I like Larkin but not the number.
As far as the fight ending ITD I have no idea, could see it going either way, Daley is a tough guy to KO, I think he's more durable than Larkin who has been KO'd badly multiple times but it was at different weights. For sure the fight I'm looking forward to most.
lima's power threat is so severe, his straight right is just so fast, so devastating.. and as soon as he ate one early, it changed the complexion of the fight. i said that prefight and it happened during the fight.. felt so good. yet i somehow only bet 3u on lima at good +money and managed to DONK 3u on asker in my single worst bet of the year the same week
