Penn vs Edgar Rematch
- Thread starter dtstim
- Start date
I thought the lines were INSULTING to the champion Frankie Edgar. The lines were like 300+ Edgar -200 Penn. The line should have been much closer, so I put the last $50 of my Bodog account Edgar's way because I knew he would beat him again and convincingly. He is a nightmare matchup for BJ.
BJ has had trouble with guys quicker than him (watch his early fight with Uno), he also no answer for Frankie's speed and movement in their first fight, and he also has a limited gas tank which is bad against a guy who can probably go 10 rounds in Edgar.
BJ was looking good when he shot in for takedowns and started working his grappling, this is what he should have been doing more of. But his stupid corner was too busy calling Edgar a "cocksucker" rather than giving him technical advice. Plus I think takedowns expend too much energy on Penn's very limited gas tank.
BJ can still take out anybody in the LW division on any given night, just not Edgar because of the bad matchup, styles make fights.
I should have bet $5k on Edgar
, oh well shoulda woulda coulda.
