Why did the speaker suggest passing on the Steven Win vs. Muhammad Yaya fight?

The speaker passed on this fight because Steven Win was seen as the likely winner, but the odds were too high to make a bet, and there was too much uncertainty to make a solid prediction.

What was the reasoning behind betting on Marcus Betta to win in rounds 1 or 2?

The speaker believes that Marcus Betta has a strong ground game and knockout potential, and the odds for him to win in the first or second round seemed favorable, making it a good bet.

Why did the speaker lean toward Amanda Heboss winning, but still choose to pass on betting?

While the speaker believes Amanda Heboss is the better fighter overall, Tabitha Reachi could make the fight competitive, and there wasn't enough value or certainty to justify a bet.

What did the speaker predict about the Blackshire vs. Davy Grant fight?

The speaker predicted that the fight wouldn’t go to a decision, placing a bet on that outcome. This is based on the belief that Blackshire has the superior ground game, but the unpredictability of the fight could lead to a quick finish.
