Man, I have no idea how to gauge my level of confidence on fights lately. I'm hitting bets like da Silva and Ruiz, but playing those small. Then losing on a guy like Holland who is my biggest play. I was shocked at how little he tried pushing the pace when Brunson was clearly tired and looking fairly uncomfortable at any point they were standing.
Did you take the Darren Stewart fight or any other fight where Holland got controlled into account before backing him? I feel a lot of people who backed Holland got high on his win streak despite none of the wins standing out too much on their own merits.
Also Brunson has tightened up his game since he switched camps, more responsible defensively. A lot of people bought in that Holland was just going to highlight reel him in 2 rounds. I didn't think Holland had the toolset to win a long fight if he didn't get that early finish.
