Yeah, I kept thinking during the fight, "I wonder what weight classes they wrestled at in college." I'm guessing Maynard wrestled at least a class higher. I was impressed with him tonight.
GSP's accent cracks me up everytime. I say "I was eeemmpressed wit ur peeerformance" all the time at work, I don't think anyone gets it.
In High School, Maynard was the Ohio State and national champion... but also was captain of the #1 Team in the Nation. Lakewood St. Edward... they were an amazing team.
I wasn't expecting to see Houston out like that again, it appears he was a flash in the pan.KO'd by James Irvin in 8 secs. very impressive card and alot of impressive fights as well.
I always though that Houston's chin was suspect, people seem to forget that Jardine dropped him in the first 10 seconds of their fight before getting straight up raped.
I agree with everyone. It was an all around good card. The card with the Leben-Martin fight and Quarry-Drago battle still has a place in my heart as the best though. The quality of fights tonight were better, but damn, those two fights were entertaining as all hell.
Houston is another one of those James Thompsons type guys who can KO u in 10 secounds or be KOed in 10 secounds. That stoppage was fine Houstons a moron dudes body was limp and says he didnt feel it. If u didnt feel it why did u go down ?
Very disappointing. Thought it was stopped early, but have to respect the refs descretion. Hopefully we will see a rematch.. <----- 0 v cash as normal. Thanks Karo! Never seen a ripped Judoka. I know rope climbing, lots of crunches and calistenics are normal, but diet, weight training? No weight training to maintain flexibility, but you can weight train and stretch to maintain that flexibility. I know Karo probably brags about being stronger in the clinch and on the ground than most people he's tumbled with.. But he'd be an absolute feak if he took part in lifting some.
