How is Manon gonna beat Valentina?

[Geniusss]

I've just seen that Valentina is the underdog, I'm sorry what did I miss?
How is that French lady gonna beat her? The only advantage she got is her size but Valentina is used to fighting bigger ppl

I guess her physical strenght? She may be able to throw Valentina to the ground like she did Blanchfield that one tike, but she ain't doing nothing with Valentina on the ground....

Valentina is also faster that her standing up and yeah Manon is bigger but I think when it comes to reach they have the same ?

So with that being said her best chance seems to have an Alexa moment, trying to capitalyze a huuugee mistake from Valentina, if she makes one...

Another 5 round snooze fest.

Another 5 round snooze fest.

So you say the French lady beats Valentina by decision in a 5 rounds fight?

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Point fighting at its finest.

She would have to keep it standing


My bet slip will say Valentina by decision

 

[NoSmilez]

Valentina's wrestling and ground control isn't that slick. A lot of her takedowns are in the clinch. It isn't easy to outmuscle Manon in that area. Valentina seems to be slipping in the striking department. Her reflexes aren't as sharp as before and she does the majority of her work off counters. I don't think Manon is some all time great but she is still performing at a high level. She showed some TDD against Rose.

Valentina isn't faster anymore. 5 years ago? Yes. Now? Probably not. Val has focused on wrestling later in her career, partly because she's not as dominant a striker as she used to be. She's still good obviously, it's not like she forgot how to strike--but look at her last fight. She knew she could overpower the smaller Grasso with wrestling and she'd been in dogfights with Alexa standing previously.

Manon is a different challenge. She is bigger and has excellent TDD so Val may not be able to get her wrestling going. Manon is somewhat basic with her striking but she's tall and long and she's VERY good at those basic things. Staying long with the jab, using the side kick to keep the distance where she wants it, throwing a straight shot down the middle off her jab that gets there quickly.

Val can definitely win, but there's s reason Manon is favored. Val will have to put a more complete performance together than she has in awhile tonight to win. People maybe forget that prior to the Grasso trilogy, Val really should've lost her belt to Santos. Val is one of the WMMA GOAT'S, but she's started to decline like everyone does at a certain point. She's still among the best, but far from invincible like she used to seem to be.

That reply was quite Danaesque, Joe.
' You know I don't make a prediction of a fight the night of the fight guys '

 

[deanambrose]

Val has pretty good mileage - she can slide anytime now. She already made mistakes in Grasso's fights.
No one is ever all the time in their peak and offnights happen too.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Possibly by punching. Maybe some kicking. Most likely punching & kicking...

Manon will outclass her in the exchanges with his leg reach and good kicks. His takedown defense will ensure the fight stays on the feet.

 

[FreedomCricket]

Easy money on Val.

What betting site do you guys use?

 

[AmonTobin]

She'll need strong TDD and to out point her on the feet, is my guess. I don't know how their strength or reflexes compare but Val used to be damn quick on the counters and times her wrestling shots well. Manon seems very strong in the clinch for the weight class. I really don't know how it turns out but that's what makes it interesting (and hopefully not boring).

I thought she was doing fine striking at distance both v. Grasso and more so v. Santos, meaning there were some problems with strategising the fight correctly - besides of course her last fight in which she dominated.
She can't afford these blunders with Fiorot.

 

[VAfan]

pretty crazy she's the underdog. guess the betting gods think she's finally gotten old.

Who has Shev fought with as much power as Manon?

Shevchenko can point fight to a UD, but if she gets greedy, she's getting taken out.

What betting site do you guys use?

I use fanduel, but im pretty sure they only cover UFC and portions of Bellator.

They tend to release all the prop bets too close to the fight, and thats a pain in the butt.

Ive also noticed that sometimes i cant bet on these Jake Paul fights or exhibitions.

Maybe it varies from event to event. Idk
