    Boom. I'm sick to death of this guy getting all these undeserved title shots. Lord alone knows why.

    Do you think Reem will fight JDS by the end of the summer somewhere other than Vegas? And do you give him a better shot at JDS than Mir?

    personally, I think Overeem has too many weapons to use over JDS. I could see the fight being almost a mismatch, but I'm a big Overeem fan, juice or not. IMO, if you're a fan of any of the top elite guys, you're also a fan of a juiced athlete.

    Whilst Overeem has fought at the highest level in K-1 his record flatters him somewhat. As technically speaking he's certainly not the best striker at heavyweight in the K-1. His stamina has always been rakey and will be worst with all the additional muscle. Plus he's always had the semi-glass chin.

    Interesting match up but one that i can see JDS winning quite easily. JDS is a teak tough guy who's hungry. Whilst his striking is overrated and consists mainly of crude boxing he has very heavy hands that will certainly get Overeems attention very quickly. Personally i think Overeem does have a better chance vs JDS than Mir but there's not much in it to be frank, as i believe JDS will give both of them a hiding.

    Exactly. Mir has as much of a chance as any other big guy who might land a punch. Cigano whoops that ass, help him up, send him home.

    Frank Mur is even more overrated than Brock Lesnar, which is a hard thing to accomplish. A lot of heavyweights can beat Mur. Any good striker with decent take-down defense can shatter his glass jaw.

    The fact Brock was able to utterly tool Mir twice (despite leaving his leg for the knee bar in the first fight) lets you know how overrated Mir is.

    I agree. I don't think I've ever accused a fighter of PEDs, or something illegal, but if Mir wins this fight... I'd have to say PEDs, he's wearing brass knuckles under the gloves, Dana fixed the fight, something :lol:

    No way you go from getting beat around by Brock freakin Lesnar on your feet...A man that when you throw a punch at him, he covers up like a small child, to beating Cigano around the ring.

    What is it that makes people think that Mir is ever going to be able to take guys like JDS and Cain down???

    He has no chance. He'll get his face punched in. Next.
