Boxing; Friday August 13; Candelo-Alcine

[franks.]

My pick here is JC Candelo -215. He is still
a force to contend with as far as I'm concerned.
I feel he will bounce back nicely after the loss to Ouma. Honestly, I have never seen his opponent, so I'm basing my selection on what
I have seen of JC, and the fact he has been in tough, while I do not feel his opponent has.

it`s a 12 round bout...i was looking at over 9.5 in candelo/alcine and over in the drews/briggs bout.....

the candelo line is a tad steep...both over and side....

i honestly have had some trouble digging up info on alcine.....

i know he was beating marcos primera through 11 and almost got stopped in the 12th....

and mcgirt has been training candelo....

candelo is very good vs guys that stand in front of him and aren`t that quick...he has long arms and his punches take awhile to get where their going....even though he fights well inside for a guy with his build...and throws every punch in the book..he really needs a stationary target...

he can`t handle quickness and guys that are very busy....he can get out-worked...

i really don`t know much about alcine...

 

[Gillian]

he's a mover. Beware!

and getting knocked down three times. First half of the fight was open and drews slightly ahead, but then Briggs got him. Nice win anyway congratulation

Nice call spinch. They refunded my Candelo wager of course at Pinnacle. I made a small
wager on Stipe. Should have tailed you on the
round props, but as you said, the lumber was
a bit steep. UFC coming up. Anyone have a handle
on any of it?
