No worries, thursday I'll get something up there.
You gotta think 1 of these dogs is gonna catch. Silva and Triggs matchups are tougher than they look on paper IMHO. and Menne will likely end in a decision, so no telling what fight the judges see.
Yes, I think Menne is certainly a live underdog. One thing I notice about tourneys like this....
when guys are matched up like this , in a situation where they are supposed to advance, they often dont prepare as well and can be upset.
Champs and favorites tend to be lazy over the holidays. It happens ALOT in boxing right after Thanksgiving on thru mid January.
2 other small things............. not that they meant anything....... but I think Charuto was overweight at the initial weigh ins. Trigg also didnt look as cut up as he usually is either.
Naturally, I think all 4 favorites should be favorites. Silva maybe a tad high and hard to see Charuto losing at home.
We liked Menne out the gate, but came back a little bit after the weigh ins. Still Sheilds has no bizness being 3-1 favorite over him. Its a dog play or no play. Trigg outa shape rumors and Jhun home court caused a little money on Jhun there. Verrismo is supposed to get it done 2nite in his backyard. High price is probably correct. I still think Silva is a tad overpriced. I can see laying -300 there, but certainly not -500 and higher.
I really can't see any of the big dogs winning. I know that is a bold prediction. Trigg is probably the most solid, followed by Silva and Charuto. Menne-Shields is more of a toss up than the line indicates, IMO.
Didn't want to take the chance of getting past posted. They came down at roughly 11:45pm est.
good luck, guys...
