No, I waited to see his physique before I bet medium/large. If he looked bad then I wouldn't have bet. I had him as the chalk in my analysis so the only thing outstanding was seeing how he looked.You bet medium/large based on physique?
That's why I got +157, because everything you say makes sense. I think working with a professional camp, where he's not the #1 guy, is going to give him that late career resurgence. He's never had that his entire career and I think it'll help with pressure and discipline, and it obviously helped with the weight cut and preparation.Think they fixed his cardio? He's 34 which isn't ancient, but for guys that size it's getting up there. He's always a beast early on, but I don't see how anyone can be confident his cardio is gonna somehow take a big leap up. To be fair, it was okay in the first fight so **maybe** the second fight was him bottoming out and it turns out he's got more in the tank tomorrow than I think he will. But I can't see betting on that, even at decent + odds. Because you KNOW Moreno is gonna have cardio for days and is tough as nails and hard as hell to finish (as in, has never been finished in his career). So once this thing hits rd 3...even if Deveison looks good early I absolutely see Brandon taking over with volume and attacks while Fig tries to find energy that may well not be there.
I think Moreno is a great fighter, and I'm a fan, but I also think he's been blessed by some luck. Royval dislocating his shoulder early in the fight, a couple draws that could've/should've been losses, etc. I think we'll see a better Figueiredo than the first fight, and the same Moreno. I also think an L would be great for Moreno because he's young and only going to get better.
