Oddsmakers for tonight: Strikeforce San Jose- Diaz vs Noons
Odds from BetUS Sportsbook. Accurate as of 13:00 October 9, 2010
Nick Diaz (-240) vs KJ Noons (+190)
Pick: Diaz Diaz has improved greatly since their last fight. He will have a significant weight and reach advantage. Noons won via cut last time, which prompted Diaz to reconstruct his face . The best chance Noons has is to keep this standing and use his boxing, but it’s not enough at these odds.
Sarah Kaufman (-300) vs Marloes Coenen (+220)
Pick: Coenen I would say Coenen has a 50% chance at winning this fight; these 2 are far more even than many seem to think. Coenen’s standup and ground skills are both excellent. At these odds, go with Coenen.
Josh Thomson (-145) vs Gesias “JZ” Cavalcante (+115)
Pick: Cavalcante These 2 are very evenly matched opponents. A big question mark here is how will their past injuries affect their performances in this fight.
Tyron Woodley (-280) vs Andre Galvao (+210)
Pick: Galvao Both these fighters are excellent grapplers. Woodley has a good submission game for a relative newcomer who was previously a pure wrestler. I’m going with Galvao as their records are very similar, but Galvao has faced better competition and Woodley did not look that great in his last match which he won by controversial split decision.
