Default Re: last minute hughes v gsp line shifts

Apparently you didn't see the fight. And you didn't see it coming beforehand.

Apparently this is both your first time watching MMA and betting sports. Saying someone who has been as dominant as Hughes has doesn't have a chance is just dumb.

I realize that you're giddy over calling the fight and that's great. But gambling isn't the place for hyperbole.

Who's giddy? I was rooting for Hughes. I almost cried. But saying that Hughes, who has no advantage over GSP anymore (not one), has a realistic chance of beating the much younger and in-his-prime GSP, is just irresponsible. I'm not sure if you follow MMA closely, but it's not a secret that GSP looked better than Hughes in the first fight. His skills dominate Hughes' except for wrestling, which I personally believe is now neutralized (we'll see in the rematch).

I have warrants for my views; you are saying Hughes can compete b/c he's been champ for so long. That's not really viable IMO.
