UFC on Fuel 5 in Nottingham

[SPX]

Yeah, I don't see why Miocic should be any considerable favorite over Struve. I put half a unit on Mr. Tall Gangly Man.

[poopoo333]

Stipe Miocic is going to either put Struve away violently in the first round...or just lose.

[SPX]

Miocic just seems like one of those mid-level guys who's just okay. What has he done that is particularly impressive? I mean, I wouldn't fuck with him or anything, but I haven't seen anything at all from him that indicates he should be such a big favorite over Struve.

[mike]

miocic can probably keep it standing and outstrike struve for 3 rounds. his gas tank isnt too bad, right?

[SPX]

I can't recall Miocic really living up to his Golden Gloves credentials. He's a solid boxer, but again, I haven't exactly been blown away or anything.

[mike]

yeah true that but struves hands are slow too. he has reach advantage though but he seem to leave himself open alot too. honestly, im tend to stay away from these heavyweight fights. one punch is all it takes to end a fight

[SPX]

Well throwing out the concern about a one punch KO, who do you feel is more likely to win a decision?

[mike]

i dont know. i need to rewatch some vids again. my laptop died and the new one doesnt come til around next weekend. sucks lol. but i notice lately that the judges reward more to the more agressive/moving forward fighter even if fewer strikes land. it looks good in the judges eyes. that would probably be struve? miocic seem like an outside striker. but with struves chin, 1 good punch will crack him. this fight will be 5 rounds also? i seriously think its a bad idea to force all main event fights to be 5 round. 5 rounds should be for championship fights only. fighters would keep a faster pace in a 3 round fight. 5 round fights is more of a whos got better cardio will win, if the fighters are same skill level.

UFC: Nottingham Adds Tom ‘Kong’ Watson vs. Brad Tavares, John Maguire vs. John Hathaway

Maguire vs Hathaway

[SPX]

So Tom Watson finally gets his shot in the UFC. . .

[poopoo333]

Yeah, too bad he is going to lose.

[SPX]

You never know. Brad Tavares hasn't exactly knocked my socks off.

[poopoo333]

That's because you guys have never met.

[SPX]

Watch your mouth, chinaman!
