The MMA Lab went 2-2 last week, Murphy and O'Malley both picked up wins, you are just picking out the losers. Gamblou is tight with the Lab and he says Holtzman is looking sharp lately. And it's not like Gamblou is biased, we bet against Cacares a couple weeks ago.I would not feel confident putting any money on Holtzman simply because he is training at MMA Lab.
The MMA Lab guys love to mention prefight that they have been training/preparing with Benson, but look at their records lately, losses over losses.
Caceres lost
Barberena lost
Benson himself lost his last two
Klose lost
Escudero lost
Jones-Lynbarger lost her last three fights
Case lost his last two
and so on, and so on. I was just listing the more prominent ones, you can check for yourself with the Fight Finder.
Corrales got two wins in a row in Bellator, Jordan Johnson and O'Malley are unbeaten, but that's about it.
Currently I cannot have any confidence in that camp.
Is Horcher great? Nah. But it's not like Holtzman has been impressive either, he went 2-2 in his last 4 fights, all decisions.
I would definitly bet Horcher if he was a big dog, but there is no value in him at 2.10, so I will stay away from that fight as far as I can.
Horcher trains under Jeff Curran, what great fighters has Jeff Curran ever trained? he trains Felice Herrig, big deal
Using the Lab's recent lack of success as an excuse not to bet against a broken Darrel Horcher is not great reasoning.
Horcher's lack of activity is going to cost him, that low volume counter punching style is going to be overwhelmed by the violence that Holtzman brings. Holtzman the superior athlete and fighter 100%
You can hate on the Lab all you want but all you have is an opinion. I'm getting the facts and the inside information from Gamblou, I know what goes on in that camp.
