Of course Waterson was the underdog and very winnable underdog. It just wasn't profitable for some out there.

Waterson landed barely anything in round 1. Similar numbers but pinheiro’s strikes were actually significant

Counter fighter vs a fighter who always fights at his opponents pace. I see this as a winnable fight for gastelum but think it will be boring

Luana did more damage, but Watterson dominated the volume and was clearly the more active fighter. The second round was from Luana, The third round from Waterson. The first one was even especially because with 10 more seconds it seemed that Luana could even get the TKO. I'm sure Waterson had more significant strikes but he also threw a lot of air punching and air kicking, that also affects the scorecards.

Only play that makes sense here is taking the over or a decision imo

This is incredibly frustrating...

Predictions: 3 of 6 Winners, 0 Perfect, 150 Points   |   Tied for 5565th

Second time tonight that I have been forced to cashout what would have been very lucrative live bets, first on Loopy, now on Pinheiro. If I had of let them fly I'd have made thousands.

The problem is that while the guys have been clear cut outpointing (if not outright killing each other), the women are doing a great job of keeping things close, indecipherable from a scoring standpoint, and just agonizingly uncertain. Ugh...

If damage is what matters, Michelle Waterson-Gomez did more visible damage than her opponent.
