Couture struggled early in the last bout with Huen’s takedowns, but started to take over when Huen slowed down. Duarte is a far more well rounded fighter then Heun and Couture is only one fight removed from the first defeat of his career where he really struggled against a far less experienced fighter then Duarte. Could Couture be getting the nod here because of his name and its familiarity with the betting public? Maybe a little, I have said it before and I will say it again the average bettor who doesn’t take the time to research fights will go with what they know. In this case, it goes something like this ” Ryan Couture? Oh yeah that’s Randy’s kid, Randy is awesome, former world champ, fought Brock Lesnar. His kid will take this one easy, he is already the favorite, so I will bet on him” or something to that effect. I don’t want to take anything away from Couture, and its not like Duarte has been destroying the competition either, but until Ryan picks up a couple more wins now that he has moved up in competition I can’t back him in the role of the favorite just yet. Duarte isn’t exactly a world beater either, but he has the value here and between the two fighters he has double the experience (although less experience fighting in Strikeforce) and the biggest win on either fighters record (Jorge Gurgel . He has been out of action for almost a month which is concern, but again the value is good, he is well rounded and Couture needs to prove himself against a fighter like Duarte before he is worth backing as a favorite. I will use Duarte both alone and as part of a parlay or two (high valued parlays, so the risk is low and reward high) but if Ryan passes this challenge with flying colours I don’t want my night ruined so I will have plenty of investments that don’t include Duarte as well.
