Sean O Grady vs Greg Haugen

Haugen UD.

 

Haugen UD but it could go the other way, especially if O'Grady put in a Kenty type performance.

 

I think the O'Grady that beat Kenty could beat Haugen, but it'd be a close and tough fight. O'Grady by SD.

 

i am watching the o' grady-kenty fight now on youtube and i gotta say, sean is no joke. deffinetely not what i imagined him to be by judging his lighthearted comical commentating.

i agree with cobra, if you put haugen next to chavez he physically looks ordinary but haugen was very strong, his legs where as big a hameds but the thing i was wondering is that o' grady looks pretty darn strong too. both look about the same but haugen is more educated in his attacks, almost like he want to be a completely different fighter from the alaska toughman winner that he started off to be. haugen jab is good and his self control to attack and circle roughly but effectively is a staple in his career. o' grady looks more like a unrefined haugen with a much harder punch. the one thing that makes a difference in my mind is how fast o' grady can close the distance and his willingness to eat jabs.

everything crys haugen from what i thought but i would say o' grady would close the distance and use his good hooks to keep haugen honest for a decision win.

 

Haugen via decision.

 

...............Actually, Greg never really fit the typical mold of the Alaska Toughmen anyway; being much smaller than most, he won those fights by outlasting the fat, beer-guzzling slobs; he was "cute" with them and let them wear themselves out. So that caginess has always played a part in his gameplan.

 

Haugen would be a good tuneup fight for Sean to keep him sharp for a real contender.

 

Man you really are mad he beat Camacho aren't you. Sure he probably couldn't beat Camacho in his prime but Haugen is alot better fighter then given credit for. He was smart got under your skin and it worked in his favor. I still remember him bringing a tampon to an interview about his upcoming match with Vinny Paz. I liked the guy he talked a good game and made fights interesting. Him vs O'Grady would definately be a good scrap. I'll take Haugen by SD

 

O'Grady by decision in a very good fight. O'Grady is a very underrated fighter by most people today, whom seemily based thier opinion of him on his commentating/acting goofy. Haugen also was very good, I just think O'Grady was better.

 

Good match, Haugen would like to brawl & O'Grady would outbox him and keep Haugen offbalance with quick combinations. O'Grady by a close decision.

 

.............As you're a bit new to the scene (though obviously know enough to know of Rooster's fetish for Camacho), this is just how Rooster works.

I get the distinct impression he doesn't even believe half of what he writes. He does what he does for effect; he likes to get people riled up with a largely unpopular opinion, because people never fail to bite on it, and the ensuing madness is fun for him.

Just add a huge grain of salt to his comments, and the soup is more palatable. He's actually rather entertaining.

 

Thanks for the heads up

 

you got me:!:

i have never actually seen any of haugen's toughman fights, i have only heard that he entered them. i always assumed that haugen was a face first brawler much like a typical tough man contender. interesting that he was such a smart fighter even in the early stages of his fighting career.

 

He definately knew how to get under your skin. He talked a good game and the only time it really back fired on him was against Chavez it really pissed Chavez off when Haugen said he's never beaten any body just a bunch of Tijuana cab drivers. but You gotta love Haugen in the post fight interview when asked about those Tijuana cab drivers with a smile on his face he said they must be pretty tough.
