Prediction: correct Markes   correct Decision  

Can't believe Markes is such an underdog with 37%...he tossed around Karlos Vemola who is a HUGE guy and now Markes is dropping DOWN to 185...he is gonna be gigantic. I think he'll at least win a decision if it's wrestling vs wrestling.

Who wants to fight Aaron Simpson? Even if you win, will you look good doing it? Simpson is beatable but it's not easy, and I haven't seen enough of Markes to trust him with a pick against a grinder like this.

really hard fight to pick... hoping this to be a genuine brawl and fight of the night candidate and not a boring decision. Markes must be training his TD like mad and I hope he can pull this off.

Yup, close. Think it was the right call as that knockdown in the 1st did not warrant a 10-8 IMO.

cllose fights happen alot in the top organization in the world. sometimes you got to sweat it out when the judges are deciding. especially when you got real money on it.
