StrikeForce Rockhold vs Jardine pre-fight guesswork

rekcutnevets · 01-07-2012, 08:15 PM

I went with Legere based on what appeared to be stronger wrestling skills. I think Legere takes Spang down, and rides him to a decision.

Martinez and Payan looked like a real toss up. Martinez looked stronger with a harder punch, while Payan looked a little faster. I went with Martinez by tko. I think he finds a way to land something big.

I went with Villante based on what appears to be better athleticism.

Burrell looked too strong, physically, for Terry going by the video I found. I went with Burrell by ud.

Stinson looks like he has sharp stand-up, but he was getting subbed in almost every video I found. Saffiendine by submission.

I picked Woodley to beat Daley a few months ago, but thought Woodley could become Daley's first 3rd round stoppage. It almost happened. If Woodley doesn't fix his stamina issues, someone will make him pay. If tonight's fight gets to the 3rd we could see that tonight.

I don't think Larkin can keep this standing. Lawal by ground and pound.

Amagov may or may not be able to take Lawler down, control him, and have some moments. I can't find a lot of footage of Amagov fighting someone that I know to be as powerful as Lawler. Amagov is just so aggressive. I can't see him going 3 rounds with Lawler without getting hammered by something big. Lawler by ko.

I went with Rockhold by ud. If Mousasi couldn't stop Jardine, I'm giving the Dean of Lean the benefit of the doubt and saying his chin holds up tonight.

Agree with most. I actually pegged Martinez for his submission skills. I like Rockhold to outwork Jardine as well.

I would have gone with Payan had I known the size difference. I picked Martinez because I thought he was bigger.

I picked Terry over Burrell because he had a few more fights and trains under Cung Le. I figure he is the more seasoned fighter.

0-3 so far on my guesses
