youre not wrong about it. lucky he wasn't knock out cold. bookmakers are not always right with the odds they give.
shara is stopped by a jab every time he tries to do something. but shara's strategy to keep changing prevents MVP from positioning a heavier offense on him.
I think MVP's age had a lot to do with bookies heavily favouring Shara. We've discussed this before in this thread: older fighters tend to be underdogs even if they have much bigger achievements than their younger opponents. This didn't work for MVP, he still looked really sharp, agile and elusive, e.g. those flying knees out of nowhere. Shara couldn't relax and was put in a reactive mode just trying to predict what MVP would do next. He couldn't set anything up and was only successful with a few leg kicks, but that wasn't enough.
I'm not sure if Page intends to stay at 185 or go back down to welterweight, but I think staying in the middleweight could work better for him and he might be ranked higher than he currently is in 175.
