Actually Maurice Smith vs Pedro Rizzo would have been a great match. Two master counter strikers - with Smith being K1 level.

Forgot about Mo

Just rewatched it, scored it for Randy. Even though he did WAY more damage, and it seemed Couture was only wrestling defensively to stop getting hit, he controlled too much of the rounds he won for me to score them for Pedro

Great fight

Great fight

Thanks for checking back in. I'm usually in line with how you see fights, so I still feel good about ranking Randy as high as I do. 2 wins over a prime Rizzo are saying something.

The link that I put up for you, the one that is unavailable in your area, is the only video I have of the fight now. It doesn't show it in it's entirety, just a large portion of each round. I can't see enough of it to score it fairly. If you judge the part that I can see, Rizzo probably gets it. Randy's scoring probably isn't as much hi-light material, so that's why it is probably cut out. Without going back and counting, there's close to half the fight cut out. I'll try to find it some time to check out the whole thing.

Well there were long periods of inactivity, probably cut them out. But that's the portion where Randy was in ''control'' but he didnt have much in the tank in his punches. Was tempted to score the thrid for Rizzo, but he didnt land enough to negate Randys wrestling

I put my score up in the sticky

He was also beating Silva. Didn't Silva headbutt him to get out of trouble. Guy didn't have killer instinct. He could have been a great. He was too loyal to Shamrock. He should have trained elsewhere.

Yeah, Wandy couldnt do anything in the clinch with guy so he headbutted him, accidental Im sure
