Jennings has a huge reach advantage (almost 10") and is very aggressive, plus Tupou doesn't have enough power to back him off. So, despite his shortcomings, Jennings by an "accumulated punches" KO somewhere in the middle rounds. Tupou is tough, so I expect 1-2 KD's in the earlier rounds, then a huge flurry / KO.
Power is something Tupou does have. But he has only a puncher's chance against quality opposition. I think Jennings will probably win by the short route.
Beautiful KO from Jennings tonight. Didn't think he had it in him, especially after Tupou put him down hard with a glancing blow.
just got back from the fight. how the **** did BY laid this 256lb huge mother on his back with one punch. i was too amazed to grab the camera and snap a shot of Bowie laid out. the crowd exploded! christ
Cable, If you are not too busy, care to share who is going to win the Superbowl with that crystal ball of yours?
Tupou had enough power to knock Jennings down. Even if the referee didn't see it that way, [FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Jennings admitted later it was a knockdown, saying "I think he hit the crap out of me, right on top of the head."[/FONT]
That was surprising. - but Jennings also went down partly from being off balance. He was moving sideways at the time, and tried to pull his head back to avoid the blow. A decent punch, but the only one Tupou threw in 4 rounds. As expected, Jennings was in complete control.
I also expected Jennings to control the fight and win by KO - see pre-fight post above - but didn't underestimate Tupou's power :good
i don't think so. the punch had jennings on ***** street. his legs were gone. he was able to tie bowie up and avoid an assault, and enabled him to recover well though. wtf was tupou doing giving jennings an eternity to land the uppercut. he was just standing there doing nothing and not protecting himself either. bet he won't do that again.
