I would ask the Sportsbook forum, but that place is dead and full parlay maniacs.

Choi likes to impose his will on fighters less talented them him on the standup. That's how he gets so many KOs, but when he got in there with someone who could hang with him on the feet like Swanson, he was forced to bang bro.

Will Stephens get this W or not? Cause he's a +130 Underdog, and that looks a little too good to be true.

I am taking him
 
Lil Heathen is a good bet. The guy trains with world class talent and will come prepared
 
stephens has been on a string of boring decision wins/losses, i honestly think he just fights for money now, doesn't take as many risks or seem as hungry i would not put any money on him
 
Someone brought up the low calf kicks Stephens' been using lately. Choi won't check them and relies on punches, so he could be rendered ineffective past the first round, forced to throw arm punches while Stephens still has his legs.
 
I watched the Cub Choi fight again last night and it was a lot closer than I remembered.
Thought Swanson won easily but Choi 100% won round 1 (wtf 2 judges giving it to Cub) and round 2 was very close.
 
I think Choi takes this but then again I'm a huge fan of his and not a fan of Stephens so meh..

that almost makes me wonder if he's due for another phonebooth flying knee or mega-uppercut

but I like Choi here as the slight underdog (now he's a favorite)

I think he bounces back with his strategy to make his straight shots as effective as possible

Hearing Jeremy talk lately, I have to almost question how badly he wants it


That said, my memory of him hurting Frankie in the first rounds of their fight is still fresh, and Choi will absolutely have to have a great night

Is choi the favorite in this one? If so, stephens is a good bet
 
From the Swanson fight you can see that Choi doesn't fight very well moving backwards and that's why Cub starting going forward in rd 2 and kept doing it in 3. Stephens is always fucking moving forwards. I think Lil Heathen Ko's or TKO's him

Over +200/250 then maybe you could make a value case I guess, but fuck no. Stephens throws slow and loopy; unless KSB has issues with the 5 round aspect then he should pick him apart no problem. His precision is really precise and basically everyone who throws good straight punches (Frankie, Holloway, Cub etc) beats Stephens brawling style.

Stephens doesn't ever finish either, so if you really have to bet him you may as well take +400 on him taking a decision; but I still wouldn't personally.
 
Its close but i feel like choi is too dynamic. Stephens does have those leg kicks going for him, but choi might have the best straight right in the division to counter that. Also stephens doesnt push a crazy pace so im not sure he can get choi to back up. Im leaning choi but its close.
 
I feel like this fight is risky betting wise. Choi is more precise and throws accurate straight punches with occasional overhands. Stephens puts more emphasis on landing powershots. Choi rarely throws kicks and focuses mostly on his boxing. Stephens has strong leg kicks. Off memory, Stephens looked awesome in his last fight and beat the shit out of Gil, which is a solid win. He's also fought top competition in his last few. For Choi, we only have the Cub fight, where he fought valiantly and had Cub hurt a few times, but ultimately he got beat up pretty bad. This fight could go many directions. I think Stephens is the rightful favorite, but the threat of Choi clipping him is there in the first couple of rounds.
 
i'm going for a emil meek & vitor belfort by TKO for 44 to 1 nice odds.
 
Stephens is not a bad bet as the underdog. He's the more proven fighter. Also, the Choi that fought against Cub could lose to the Stephens we saw last fight agains Gil. Still, it's hard to say, and matchup has a lot to do with it as well.

I'm hoping that Choi has fixed a few flaws in the timeoff.
 
That's not a very big underdog. Who knows what Choi will look like in his return and his first 5rd fight
