If interested in wagering on this parlay, or any bouts for this fight card, all betting lines are currently made available at Several Bookmakerss. Here is my parlay: Welterweight bout: Court McGee (+135) vs Santiago Ponzinibbio (-155) Gabe’s Thoughts: I think the Argentinian is better prepared for this match-up and knows what to expect from McGree, whereas McGee doesn’t really know what he’s in for against Ponzinibbio, self-admittedly having never watched tape on him. I don’t think McGee’s training partners will be able to mimic Ponzinibbio but I believe the Arentinian has had no problems having training partners mimic McGee. At first glance, one might see this as a “dog or pass” scrap but after doing a decent amount of homework on the fight, I think it becomes obvious that Ponzinibbio should be the clear betting favorite going in. I think he should be a -230 betting favorite, so I like him at his current offering price of -155. Gabe’s Call: Ponzinibbio by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27) Middleweight bout: Cezar Ferreira (+155) vs Oluwale Bamgbose (-175) Gabe’s Thoughts: Putting it simply, Ferreira’s chin is shot and Bamgbose is a lethal striker. I think that is a recipe for a bad night for the Brazilian. I think the only way he wins this fight is if he gets a quick takedown and submission. Gabe’s Call: Bamgbose by T/KO (punch, 0:23 round 1) Gabe’s Recommended Parlay: Ponzinibbio (-155) with Bamgbose (-175) at -240 for 4.8u to win 2u
