Titan Fighting 18 - May 27th

[SPX]

Pulver never gets KOd. He loses via sub every fucking time.

[SPX]

Sorry about Pulver X

Thanks, homey.

[Ludo]

Unless he's fight Joe Lauzon

[SPX]

Or Leonard Garcia, but that's not the norm.

He said before that he's not going in there and getting knocked out time and after, which is one reason that he doesn't feel he needs to retire. He's making positional mistakes and getting subbed. Obviously if he wants to continue to have any sort of career though he's going to have to figure out what the problem is.

What I don't get is that his 5 rounder with Faber was not THAT long ago. And yet, he looks like even a shadow of the fighter who lost that fight.

[Ludo]

The problem last night was clear as day. He just did not have the speed to compete with Davidson. Those leg kicks were thrashing his lead leg and before long the leg was starting to go. By then he got a couple takedowns but couldn't capitalize on anything and ended up having to defend his back with one leg to try and stand up.

[SPX]

He should've been able to do something with the takedowns. Davidson himself said that his wrestling was a work in progress, and Pulver has been wrestling since high school.

[Luke]

anyone got the video?

[Svino]

Svino?! Where the fuck YOU been, nigga?

Oh, I been kinda busy, and there haven't been many events lately.

And since I missed the thread on it, let me just now add: Fuck the FBI.

[Thewisemann]

Dont forget Ludwig and Gomi.

[Ludo]

Gomi was really the fight that started the decline. He never was quite the same after that one.

Jake wants to plead his case. . .

Jake Rosholt believes that the incorrect call was made in his last fight, and he’s looking to right the wrong.

The Texas-based UFC veteran was disqualified in the third round of his 200-pound catchweight contest with John Ott at Titan Fighting Championship 18 last Friday, May 27, after landing was what was interpreted to be an intentional, illegal knee strike to the head of the kneeling Ott. Despite dominating his opponent from start to finish, Rosholt walked away from the bout at Memorial Hall in Kansas City with a loss tacked to his record.

Since that time, Rosholt and his management have been in talks with the Kansas Athletic Commission in an effort to overturn the decision. Rosholt has admitted in interviews that while the strike was clearly illegal, it was just as clearly not intentional, and he therefore should not have been disqualified. Rather, the bout should have either been ruled a no-contest or gone to a technical decision based on the completed rounds.

While Rosholt’s camp is serious about changing the decision, they have not yet filed a formal, written appeal with the commission.

“We’re just talking,” KAC Boxing Commissioner Troye Blackmon Wednesday told Sherdog.com, also explaining that there could be no discernible timetable for the commission’s ruling since the appeal has yet to be put into writing.

However, Rosholt told Sherdog.com that he was prepared to do what was necessary to have the loss removed from his record. If a formal appeal is required, then the fighter asserts he will act accordingly.

“I’m not trying to make a big spectacle of it,” said Rosholt, “but there’s definitely an appeal [of the disqualification]. If I need to sign my name to something, then I’m going to do it.”
