*ESB MMA Prediction League: Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Kharitonov *September 10th*

His willingness to eat the occasional jab or cross making it difficult against a guy with heavy hands like Khritonov?

 

Stoo, one thing to remember is that Bigfoot out pointed Arlovski in a mostly stand-up fight. Not getting the kod on Arlo may say the man doesn't have exceptional power, but I think out striking Arlo over 15 minutes is a bit of an accomplishment.

Has anyone else every called Arlovski, "Arlo"? Arlo didn't fit that grimace all to well early on, but now that he's been knocked out several times it seems to fit just fine.

 

Re-watched the Arlo fight a while back but it's not one that's fresh in my mind. I think you've got to factor in that maybe Arlo's confidence was shot to **** and with the reach knowledge and size advantage Bigfoot possess Arlo was primarily on the defensive in that fight IIRC

I think Antonio simply overwhelmed a guy who was scared of being made bitchblike rather than being out struck by a guy with superior reach knowledge

 

Why are you being this way, stoo? I'm trying to show how clever I am by pointing out that Silva is one of the few that are capable of out striking Arlo at a sustained rate, going strike for strike. Arlo rarely loses in this manner.

Why are you trying to steal my thunder with rationalization?

 

Im a mean old drunk that's why. Im thinking on starting a thread about why Overeem is so great too

 

You drunk yet 'cause I'm working on it? Let's both pick while under the influence.

 

i'm going to sleep now stoo. dont' wory about it.

 

**** it Im drunk enough
