Comments Thread For: Jessie Vargas vs. Thomas Dulorme is Close For October 6

[killakali]

On paper; in trying to compare events, going off of results when only one event has happened makes no sense.

Berto-Alexander was an evenly matched fight, Quillin-Love was an evenly matched fight, and 140lb Lipinets vs 147lb Bone made their fight competitive. You add Collazo-Perrella and you start the event with 4 competitively matched fights (with the Spencer and Browne fights expected to be showcases).

Depending on what you think of their ability level, Jessie Vargas vs Thomas Dulorme is a good competitive fight.

I've never seen the dude fight, but I doubt that Beterbiev's mandatory will make that fight competitive on paper, and Miller-TBA is unlikely to be competitive either.

Lipinets vs Bone wasn't evenly matched on paper or competitive. Bone ended up making it competitive as Lipinets continues to get exposed. We all knew Alexander-Berto was a crappy fight when it was made. Alexander hasn't been in an exciting fight in over 5 years. No one was clamoring for that fight. Berto has been shot and both guys need to go away.

Callum Johnson is a good opponent and should make a good fight for Beterbiev. Miller is supposed to fight Adamek which is a terrible mismatch. Vargas Dulorme will be more exciting than Alexander Berto so the DAZN card is much better.

I'm not talking about excitement, I'm talking about the fights being competitive when put together on paper.

Alexander vs Berto was an even fight because it wasn't clear what either guy had left, and I'd bet that that shows in the predictions and betting odds before the fight. Lipinets was likely the favorite in his fight, but coming up the 7 pounds and fighting a rugged guy in Bone was likely shown in the odds too.

I've never seen Johnson fight; if he makes it competitive, great for him, I just doubt that the odds on that fight will be lower than 10:1.

Vargas-Dulorme is competitive, but how competitive will come from where you think either fighter is.
