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

Moneyball16: This is an easy stack. It has pretty good odds to go the full 5 rounds (+150), and Brandon Royval fights are typically fought at a fast pace, even if Manel Kape\u2019s haven\u2019t been.<\/p>\n

Bward586: I\u2019m definitely stacking this one. I actually prefer Royval to Kape (relative to their price tags), but there are not many great plays at the higher end of the price range, so I don\u2019t see a reason to move away from Kape in a 5-round fight.<\/p>\n

LiamPicksFights: I could see the case for stacking and not stacking this main event. I lean toward a stack based on Royval\u2019s frenetic pace. In his last fight, a losing effort against Joshua Van over 3 rounds, he still managed to score 86 points. I will be stacking or considering Royval in my underdog pool.<\/p>\n
