What are your thoughts about stacking the 5-round fight in cash games? <\/p>\n

h3budda: Chimaev\u2019s win condition will correlate to DDP not scoring well. This makes for a tough spot to stack. There are some lower weight classes that are expected to go to a decision. I will probably just take Chimaev alone, along with the likes of Elliott or Meerschaert. It\u2019s a very tough spot for the cash game streets this week.<\/p>\n

Moneyball16: I think Chimaev is a cash lock, but I could take or leave Du Plessis in cash. The odds of this one going 5 rounds are not great, and he is a 2-1 underdog to offset the nice potential floor that comes with a possible 25-minute fight or an upset.<\/p>\n

Bward586: I\u2019m a bit more optimistic on Du Plessis than the field, so I\u2019ll be stacking this one. A scenario where DDP wins probably means an extended fight, where Chimaev scores points early and Du Plessis comes back late, making a stack a solid option. With that said, if you\u2019re confident in Chimaev winning, then fading Du Plessis makes sense.<\/p>\n
