 Of the night awards for this event will be 21,000 as that is how many bets have been placed on this event.  If 2 managers were to max bet on every fight for HWP 285 we would have 20,000....   im sure we have more than 2 managers!  ok enough peer pressure, on to the card.



Marko v Overdose is a clear matchup of builds. both are legitamate fighters with good skills and both could win this matchup. Overdose has shown in his last fight against Marko that hes as confused as a hungry baby in a topless bar. but what is the real deciding factor is can marko use that 225cm frame to pepper overdose to his demise?  and can overdose use that same 225cm frame to put him on his back early and often enough to make it count?  dont kid yourself, just cause marko has the majority of wins by knock out he is not the heaviest of hitters. but that is only because he is so tall that it limits his power, or so is one mans opinion.  it could very well be that his height is his tko power? Well, either way Overdose has a chin so if he gets KO'd that doesnt say much for him and his intentions to make it back to the top 2 of HWP where he once was a mysterious threat!  



Kush v Gump...  Im actually a little embarrassed to have this as the comain event.  Kush is like a Kimbo Slice, except not the later more evolved kimbo. The one trick pony, young and dumb, shoulda stayed on youtube but a money hungry organization gave him a chance kimbo. yeah that one...   He's really outmatched here against gump when you look at primaries but gump doesnt seem to have a pulse when it comes to takedowns and his ground game so this might be the standup war remeniscent of griffin/bonner!  ouch...  sorry to those 2 guys i just named in the same paragraph as kush. my bad.



Holyfield v Hemlock. Who gets to keep their .500 and who loses theirs?!  again, not normal to be talking like that during the main card but these 2 come in with a fan base second to..   well second to a lot of guys but they are here cause the fans want to see them so lets quickly mull over this matchup.  this ones too close to call with the standup game but ill slap my money on hemlock anyway since he will have the more rounded game. but in the end we all kow Hemlock will put him on his back and dig him a grave. 



Jones v Emelianenko....   Ok here is a prime example of WHY I ALLOW MANAGERS TO DECLIEN FIGHTS!  poor jones doesnt look to have a chance in this one but man if he can pull it out hes gonna be a hero.  



should be some fights to keep your eye on and hope you all enjoy tonights PPV card.
