At 29 decades of age Martin is coming into his prime. Undefeated in Welterweight he is showing substantial improvements in both skill and fight IQ. Martin is a BJJ Blackbelt but it is his striking that’s shining recently showing good motion and a long troublesome jab. Maia is nearly 42 years old but nevertheless remains dangerous. On the ground his hands and submission arsenal is unmatched. He has taken considerable damage in late struggles in which his inability to get takedowns leaves him a sitting duck. With no realistic name shot on the horizon you have to question his motivation moving forward.
Stylistically this is a fight Maia should triumph, but with all the athletic and striking advantages in Martins favour the result is a lot nearer than the line suggests. Maia will require early takedowns and possibly even a finish in round one. Martin should make this hard and when he is trapped, has the BJJ to at least survive the entry attacks. Into around two will probably be where Martin can take over as it’s no secret Maia slows considerably. This Is a Great place to take the hungry young fighter at dogs odds.Drew Dober Breakdown
Dober comes into this matchup off a reduction, but fought well and is showing a lot of improvements struggle to combat. He has developed his power to compliment his quite accurate striking style. Another facet to his game is his wrestling, which he seems to mix into his offence more often. No world beater, but a well rounded fighter with a solid chin signifies Dober matches up nicely with other reduced level fighters.
Polo Reyes is 34 years of age and his durability is presently a massive question mark. Two of the last three fights have finished in a bad TKO loss. He throws with serious power but isn’t well rounded, as exposed by Had??ovi?? who dominated him around the ground before pounding him out. Basically all the skill benefits are with Dober departing Reyes with few paths to victory aside from a punchers chance. The price is steep but that this struggle should be a straight forward victory for Dober
Bet = Dober at 1.31 (-325) odds. Risk 5 Units to acquire 1.55 Units.
Vinc Pichel Breakdown
This is a classic large favourite prospect taking a step upward snare. Roberts has a great deal of hype but has failed to ignite so far against some lacklustre competition. There are a number of obvious holes in his game where he is backed up readily and retains his chin high. Pitchel is coming back after another layoff and in 36 there’s a possibility he would look slower. He has big power and will want to force a brawl where his durability and toughness can glow.
This should be a competitive match where we can’t overlook the odds on Pichel. Roberts has potential but hasn’t shown anything yet to warrant this kind of price . Look for the veteran to force striking exchanges and land some power shots. A KO is possible or close decision also probably.
Bet = Pichel in 3.50 (+250) odds. Risk 2 Units to win 5.0 Units.
