BetUS.com has provided the fight lines with the potential to win some decent money on Saturday’s Strikeforce card. The best line has to be with the Arlovski vs. Rogers fight. Arlovski is the more technical boxer but Rogers has a ton more power; not to mention his weight advantage and the situation with Arlovski’s less than brick jaw.
With the way the lines look on this card, the only other fight worth touching would be Diaz vs. Smith. BetUS.com is putting Diaz as the heavy favorite for good reason. Smith will offer nothing for Diaz he has not been faced with before. However, if you have some faith in Smith and the money to spare, it may be worth a small wager.
Robbie Lawler -125 vs Jake Shields -105
Andrei Arlovski -500 vs Brett Rogers +300
Nick Diaz -400 vs Scott Smith +250
Phil Baroni -110 vs Joe Riggs -120
Kevin Randleman -105 vs Mike Whitehead -125
The real deal here is Brett Rogers. As the heavy under-dog at +300, it is a great pay out. The guy has only been out of round one once. He has knocked out everyone he has faced except Ralph Kelly who gave up due to punches. There is a better than average chance Rogers will send a notice to the heavyweight division Saturday night by finishing Andrei Arlovski with a first round knockout.
