[guesswhoseback]

2-0 murphy

 

[Guld]

Murphy's round.
Could be 2-0 Murphy or 1-1
Kicks, footwork, and cardio all seem to be on Murphy's side.

 

[Guld]

Another coinflip round.
Could be anywhere from 3-0 Murphy to 2-1 Emmett.
Liveodds indicate that Murphy is likely ahead on the scorecards by at least 2-1.
Emmett is being gifted some great grappling spots due to slips by Murphy but isn't really able to do much with them.

 

[Guld]

Another close round.
Emmett landed some great overhand rights, but Murphy landed some great leg kicks, body kick, and that elbow that cut up Emmett's head at the end adds a nice visual.

Odds are back to where they were when they started, so it could easily be 2-2 on the judges cards.
EDIT: adding a hedge to Emmett for myself at +220. Better safe than sorry.

I think Murphy got it. Rd 2 and 5 were clear for him IMO and even though the others were close I think he got 3 and 4 so likely 4-1 Murphy.

 

[Guld]

Looks like the judges had it 4-1, 3-2, and 3-2 for Murphy. Fair.
Solid profit night for me, much better than expected.
Thanks again for all the help, everyone!

Murphy is a boring Leon clone. The only damage he did were from an eye poke, a headbutt, and an illegal elbow lmao. The top 5 would ravage this dude and he’s talking about a title shot lol.

It's interesting looking at these events in retrospect. I had no idea how to bet Demopolous/Alencar so I clearly missed this, but you can argue that Alencar probably had some of the best value we've seen in a while. She looked like a completely safe bet and performed at probably a -750 level.
