I would have thought this forum would be buzzing with the oddsmakers picks on Shamrock vs. Frye! Isn't anyone interested in handicapping this one?
Give me some picks and odds on this one, people!!
In my opinion, this one could go either way but it will depend what type of fighter shows up on the 24th: the old Shamrock who was prepared to fight in the 1st Severn vs. Shamrock superfight, or the more recent Shamrock who gassed in the Fujita fight. Ditto for Frye: He's actually fought more recently fhan Shamrock, so that could be a big plus. On the other hand, if you consider his old fights, he almost never went up against a submission specialist. The only submission expert he fought was Bitteti, and he did the smart thing: landed some near-knockout punches before going to the ground. Can he do that with someone like Shamrock, whom he does not outsize nor have an enormous reach advantage on?
If Shamrock can get an early takedown, I'd go with Shamrock, if it stays on the feet, Frye. Anyone know if Shamrock has been training appropriately for this one?
Well, here's my esimate on this one:
3:2 Shamrock. Opinions everyone!
