Can “C-4” Blow Up “The Cowboy?” VARNER VS CERRONE FIGHT PREDICTION AND BETTING ADVICE
Can “C-4” Blow Up “The Cowboy?”
By John Gagne
This fight stylistically is interesting. “The Cowboy” has a striking background and “C-4” likes to stay in the pocket and bang. We all saw Varner out strike “Razor” Rob to attain the WEC Lightweight Title. It will be interesting to see how the stand up war will pan out. Will the boxing style of Varner prevail or will “The Cowboy’s” kickboxing keep him at bay.
These two also have good ground games. “The Cowboy” finished most of his fights via submission. While Varner has a great pedigree in wrestling and trains with current WEC champ Carlos Condit. Who is a bigger, better version of Cerrone. A lot has also been said about Cerrone training at Greg Jackson’s. Working out with one of the best camps in the US, as well as many top fighters will help Cerrone. However having great training partners is great, only if you have the same potential as them. I do not see Cerrone benefiting as much as people will think training with Team Jackson.
This fight will be a little bit of a war. I think the first two rounds will be Varner getting used to Cerrone’s size. And the third will start to show Varner getting the best of Cerrone, on his way to a late 3rd or mid 4th round stoppage via TKO.
The odds in this fight are pretty good. Even though Varner is the favorite. The bookmakers have not set him as a heavy favorite. I would take Varner for sure.
