No problem bro, English also is my third language, so maybe I was the one not getting the tone of your post and feeling insuted.I wasn't making fun, my friend. Just ribbing you. I was disappointed along with you! I wish you the best. I think the tone of my post was lost in writing.
He has to be a time traveler or something lmao. Ridiculous how accurate he is with those props.sadistics rnd 1 call for muniz was money - shot brother!
If your willing to bet on Sakai it means they’ve tricked you by setting the odds correctly. Sakais most notable “wins” were controversial split decisions. This is not a world beater. And 5 rounds is tough on every heavy weight who hasn’t been there before. If you think his durability is the key to victory your gonna regret your bet right around round 3
One of the biggest things we learn when a “tentative” heavyweight gets to a 5 round fight is if it’s because they need to pace themselves, or it’s truly their fighting style. Overeem will get that out of him.
It was exactly as I had said. There’s a difference between 5 round cardio and 3 round cardio. I don’t know that I “resurrected” anything as I someone else had posted in here 1 hour prior. But feel free to keep taking jabs.Really? Sakai had Overeem in trouble multiple times throughout the fight, was up 2-0 and thoroughly beating Overeem in the first half of the third round, came back and was beating him up again for the first half of the 4th round, and was as high as a -250 favorite in the live-betting, and you gloat about a -160 favorite managing to come through?

I’m not an incredibly successful better, I just placed an incredibly successful bet.Interesting that @Sadistics, widely considered the most successful gambler here, had a solid $1500 combined pre-bet on Overeem but decided to buy out at a considerable loss in round 3.
But apparently you maintained perfect confidence in Overeem after Sakai largely dominated him for the first 14 minutes, with Overeem being out-struck, having zero grappling success in the clinch, and looking very, very tired. Is that your argument?
No, I literally placed my entire bet based on my belief Sakai would gas late. I said it in my quoted posts...I think most of us though Overeem was gonna win but none of us saw Sakai actually outstriking Overeem in the early rounds, and specially none of us imagined how bad Sakai's take down defense and cardio were going to be going into the championship rounds.
Overeem was desperate and then went for the takedown and then he found out that Sakai has very shitty takedown defence and an even worse ability to get up from the ground. Probably Overeem could have taken down Sakai already in the first and finished the fight much earlier. So it is hard to say anything abiut this fight. Sakai was superior on the feet and there was little evidence to suggest he had such awful takedown defense and such bad grappling skills, also the Reems takedowns vs Rozenstruik were very labored and he didnt really do much on the ground vs Rozenstruik. So all in all it is hard to say in hindsight if the reem at -200 or sakai at +170 was the right side.

What was your bet? I didnt see it in the official bets threadNo, I literally placed my entire bet based on my belief Sakai would gas late. I said it in my quoted posts...
I thought the fight could go to the later rounds based in Overeem's last performances, he has become a more conservative fighter and doesnt take as many risks or has been as aggresive in his latest fights. That, combined with Sakai's style of being overly tentative made for a fight likely to go to the championship rounds. Unfortunately, my bet was for the fight to go the distaance.Fun fact.
In Overeem's long and legendary career, he has gone past the 3rd round exactly twice. First was against Rozenstruik (where he looked awful, with almost nothing to offer in rounds 4 and 5) before being knocked out before the buzzer, and the second was yesterday against Sakai, where he had enough to get the two takedowns and execute his GNP, but was so badly tired that an utterly exhausted Sakai was still beating him up badly in the striking for the first 3 minutes of round 4.
For anyone claiming that there was more reason to believe in Overeem in the championship rounds than Sakai.

I thought the over 3 round bet at +130 was very solid but got ambitious and ditched it for fgtd at +200. I was so pissed at myself at the end of the fight.Well, same here. In fact, that was my only pre-bet for the fight. At +200, it was pretty solid, even seeing how the fight unfolded.
