Those odds are spot on imo.

those odds aren't bad. Dan would easily beat Franklin in a 5 rounder, but Rich is a skilled enough boxer to possibly outpoint and stay away from Dan for 3 rounds.

Hendo by T/KO in the 2nd.

size really doesn't have much to do with this fight considering the difference in wrestling ability. Rich is bigger though.

its a close fight but i think that franklin is the more accurate striker and could win via UD

I think yer underestimating Franklin's ability to wear down & finish Dan with his technical kickboxing.

Hendo doesn't have much success on the feet unless he's fighting brawlers or BJJ guys. Franklin is technical. Look what he did to Hammil.

Hendo is good and all but he didnt look good against palhares. Im betting on Franklin to take this one.

I dont think using hammil is a very good example of what the outcome of the hendo fight will be. Yes, theyre styles are somewhat similar BUT i think hendo sets a much faster pace, and might have better one punch ko power. Weren't hammil and franklin friends or something? i mean c'mon thats makes things a bit different right there.. still taking franklin by sd or ud, hes much more technical and should be able to keep it standing

striking: franklin
ko power: slight edge to hendo
gas tank: franklin easily
chin: hendo
wrestling: hendo

i favor franklin in this fight. hendo likes to stand, but he is a sloppy striker. franklin will win the stand up battle barring a haymaker from hendo.

a five rounder? definitely advantage franklin as hendo doesn't have a big gas tank. but in a three rounder, this will be less of a factor.

if hendo fought conservatively, and took the fight to the ground, he would probably come out with the w. but hendo likes to bang, so i see franklin getting the decision w.

ie, odds look good to me.

I can't take you seriously. Your avatar and everything is messing me up. On a side note would you like a sig bet on the GSP VS BJ fight. I would obviously have GSP because of my obvious man crush.

Those odds look about right to me, I'd still put 100 on Ace
