Power Slap 16 — Night of Live Underdogs
Abu Dhabi under the Space42 lights is serving up a night of live underdogs. With Wolverine vs. Klingbeil up top and heavyweight chaos sprinkled throughout, this card sets up several juicy dog shots and prop angles—think Manu over Dumpling, Darius over Mena (our first full 🥊 Hub-SlapScore fade), Rivero in a near 50/50, plus a Fields–Tracey NTGTD look and a small Macias flyer. Where the Hub-SlapScore has depth, we lean on it; where the sample is thin, we keep stakes light. Full breakdown below—more on Slap Wager Watch and our Hub Highlights PS16 Preview
Russel “Kainoa” Rivero (1) vs. Logan “Kill Shot” Greenhalgh (7) — LHW (3 Rds)
Odds: Rivero +110 / Greenhalgh -145
Rivero has a history of fouls but he’s never been stopped and he can crack. His last outing vs Wolverine was awkward—didn’t show his best. Kill Shot looks right at light heavyweight (a bit small when he was up at HW before), hits hard, takes a shot, and profiles as a legit climber.
🥊 Hub-SlapScore: Slight edge Rivero, but essentially even if you factor Logan’s early bouts at the wrong weight.
🎯 Pick: Maybe small lean Rivero (due to the dog value) but it’s a close fight; I wouldn’t include it in any parlays.
Coltin “The Truth” Cole vs. Diyorbek Atajonov — LHW (3 Rds)
Odds: Cole -175 / Atajonov +130
“The Truth” swings between ugly flinches and out-of-nowhere power. Second fight didn’t calm the variance. Diyorbek is debuting—no reliable tape yet.
🥊 Hub-SlapScore: No reliability (sample too small).
🎯 Pick: Pass unless Diyorbek drifts to a much bigger dog.
Jujhar “Tiger” Singh vs. Anatolii “The Kraken” Galushka — HW (3 Rds)
Odds: Singh +145 / Galushka -195
Tiger brings outside-league reps (experience helps, rule differences can bite). Kraken is also new at this level.
🥊 Hub-SlapScore: No score to trust yet.
🎯 Pick: No bet.
Andrew “Casper” Fields (4) vs. Vince “The Mercenary” Tracey (8) — WW (3 Rds)
Odds: Fields +125 / Tracey -165
Casper can launch but has shown flinches/mental errors (he did look better in his last fight after a year off). Tracey hits like a truck but can get wobbled. Very similar story arcs.
🥊 Hub-SlapScore: Razor-close—neither runs away with it.
🎯 Pick: Lean Tracey, but the price is tight.
🔒 Prop: Not to go the distance — both carry finishing power and both have shown vulnerability.
Pauline “PITA” Macias vs. Micol Di Segni — WFW (3 Rds)
Odds: Macias +100 / Di Segni -130
Both have only one Power Slap fight, so we’re working with minimal data. PITA showed composure; Micol had a straightforward debut. Not much separation yet.
🥊 Hub-SlapScore: Low-confidence read (sample too small).
🎯 Pick: Small dog flyer: Macias. “Watch and learn” more than a hammer spot.
Wes “Boom” Mena (3) vs. Darius “The Destroyer” Mata-Varona (8) — HW (3 Rds)
Odds: Mena -200 / Darius +145
Read: Mena is steady and well-schooled, but looks shakier when he’s clipped clean. The Destroyer started rough in PS, then looked sharper in his last outing—tighter delivery, steadier chin.
🥊 Hub-SlapScore: Leans Mena.
Note: This is the first time I’m fully going against the Hub-SlapScore—a feel play based on a genuine Darius comeback if I’m wrong I’ll accept it but I got a hunch.
🎯 Pick: Darius “The Destroyer” (+145) — dog shot.
🔒 Prop: Not to go the distance, note that this is doubling down on my hunch
Vasilii “Dumpling” Kamotskii (1) vs. Makini “Big Mak” Manu (3) — SHW (3 Rds)
Odds: Kamotskii -255 / Manu +185
Résumé points to Dumpling, but the 🥊 Hub-SlapScore gives a slight edge to Manu, and the eye test agrees—sturdier reactions, fewer momentum dips. Last time out, Dumpling didn’t force the judges hands and lost because of it. Manu’s composure at size looks built for this matchup, and he has thrown a couple of bombs that caught my attention.
🎯 Pick: Makini “Big Mak” Manu (+185)
🔒 Best Value on the Card: Manu ML (live dog with matchup + price working in his favor)
Ron “Wolverine” Bata (C) vs. Alan “The Kryptonian” Klingbeil (2) — LHW Title (5 Rds)
Odds: Bata -230 / Klingbeil +165
Wolverine was less impressive last time—only he knows how that shot felt—but the champ’s chin + composure are proven. Klingbeil has been up-and-down, then flashed real power in his last one.
🥊 Hub-SlapScore: Still favors Wolverine over five on durability/process.
🎯 Pick: Wolverine retains.
Quick Slip (Summary)
Rivero over Greenhalgh — small lean, no parlay
Cole vs Atajonov — pass unless huge dog price for Diyorbek
Singh vs Galushka — no bet
Fields–Tracey: NTGTD prop sprinkle
Macias over Di Segni — tiny dog flyer
Darius over Mena — model fade (+ NTGTD)
Manu over Kamotskii — BEST VALUE (+185)
Bata retains over Klingbeil
