Strikeforce December 17th

[Vandelay]

If wilcox tries to keep it on the feet, he will most likely lose. Fodor just pushes forward till he gets the clinch. Unless Wilcox circles and backpedals the whole fight.

I think Wilcox will go back to his wrestling here and win a decision

Fodor doesnt hit very hard and he just walk toward his opponent. Wilcox is pretty light on his feet, moving around instead of backing up. i think he will be the stronger puncher of the 2 also.

[Vandelay]

Nope, but he isnt a pillow puncher like bisping either. He beat a very good opponent in James Terry last time out, one that is probably a better striker than Wilcox is, by simply outworking him.

I really would not be surprised to see either guy win this fight. If Wilcox fights smart, he'll just take Caros down. He could also win a decision on the feet but I could see Caros pressuring him and wearing him down over three rounds.

Wilcox has looked great and beat the SHIT out of Rodrigo Damm. But Caros looked very impressive against Douglas and Terry as well.

I don't think it will be that easy though...it's a tough fight to call.

[SPX]

Maybe not. I agree, tough to call. Should be a fun fight to watch.

Full odds out:

I will bet the shit out of OSP if that line holds anything close to what it is now. I'm liking Noons' line as well. BOL at Cyborg opening at -800

Where have you been?

james terry is a better striker than wilcox? he didnt look that good striking with fodor. he just back up the whole time. i think fodor gonna eat alot of punches in this fight with wilcox stay at distance, jumps in for 1 or 2 hits then get out b4 getting countered. wilcox is faster than fodor both in his hands and footwork. fodor seem like a tough guy to stop though.

[Vandelay]

Have you seen terry before his fight with Fodor? its just what fodor does, makes people play his game and makes them look bad. Not easy to set up counters when someone is constantly looking to tie up and is doggedly walking you down.

Hard fight to predict. Dave Herman could always gas out and get subbed. But Wilcox does not have the reach that Struve has.

Also not sure Fodor will lose the striking exchanges...he looked pretty sharp against Monson.

LOL @ Putin getting booed, that was funny. But Boy does Dave Herman gas quickly. Wilcox for sure has the cardio edge, but Struves subs are sick. Just ask Chuck Barry.

i have not seen any of james terrys fight besides the fodor fight. yeah fodor fights like chris leben with better defense minus the ko power. it will probably come down to wilcox being able to hurt fodor and stop his nonstop forward movement or will fodor catches up to wilcox and out work him. but even if wilcox slows down and let fodor get close to him, he can still takedown fodor. if fodor beats wilcox, ill be very impressed with him.

Really starting to think Masvidal has a strong shot at the upset. Looking at all his recent opposition. the only fighter I see even remotely similar is Thompson. And Thompsons standup seemed to give Gil problems. And i think masvidal has MUCH better striking than Josh. In fact, one could make a case that Gil has had some pretty favorable match ups.
