OT: General UFC/MMA/Boxing discussion VIII

[Pompeius Magnus]

Predictions on main events?

Logan beats KSI. Logan just seems a lot more athletic to me.
50-50 on Deji and Jake. I feel Jake looks better but who knows. I feel one will gas out and lose.

We all lose .

 

[MD thaivuN]

wasn't expecting a fun slugfest lol

 

[MD thaivuN]

they brought Michael Buffer for this.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

they brought Michael Buffer for this.

The dude loves a good pay day, he used to be in a bunch of stuff. I remember him being on WCW wrestling a ton in the nineties.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Logan Paul vs Cm Punk when

 

[LyricalLyricist]

I think KSI wins but the rounds he won were close.

 

[MD thaivuN]

have 4-2 KSI. that was hilarious lol

 

[LyricalLyricist]

have 4-2 KSI. that was hilarious lol

I had 2-2 with 2 rounds a punch off for KSI.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

3-3 to me, crazy.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

A few rounds was all clinch. I didn't know how to score it. First 2 are clearly logan. Round 3 is meh, either way. 4 and 6 are KSI. Round 5 is meh too.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Ksi could have lost a point because of the intentional hit to the head after the bell, lucky the crowd was behind him, the other way around could have make it look very bad.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Apparently there's some money in this stuff. We should hold our own HF board boxing tournament, heck, make it a one night tournament a la old school UFC ! We could probably get Buffer to come for 10k and a place ticket . The winner gets complete mod immunity and a giant gold belt like the one Mark Coleman got for that one Pride tournament

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Gall didn't mess around

 

[MD thaivuN]

Figueiredo looks like a monster at flyweight. Imposing top control grappling and nasty power.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

He's like a tiny Wanderlei, real pitbull mentality. He was going for the kill all along. Those elbows from up close were nasty, that bodywork too.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

The crowd is really giving Ellenberger a hometown welcome. Too bad he's way past his prime.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Angela Hill, for better and/or for worse, strikes like Dominick Cruz (same camp). Not sure it's a style that's good if you're not a good athlete and if you aren't a master of BS-ing lol

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

It's one of those fights where I would have been confortable with a draw. It sucks that one has to lose.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Time to toss the good Michael Johnson/bad Michael Johnson coin.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Fili is playing range kickboxing against MJ. Not the way to beat MJ. Pressure him and make him wilt

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

MJ looks so dryed out at 145. His legs are like twigs.

 

[MD thaivuN]

what's up with Henri Hooft fighters and getting RNC'd

EDIT: OH Shit, MJ escaped back mount.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Props to Johnson, he gutted it out for once.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

He got the win but I'm still not crazy about Johnson at 145. He's leaving a lot of power and explosiveness on the table.

 

[Kriss E]

Figueiredo looks like a monster at flyweight. Imposing top control grappling and nasty power.

I don't get the flyweight division. They are tiny. 125lbs...jesus. I must have been 12 the last time I weighed so little.
