Thiago Alves's career might be in jeopardy

Was looking forward to his fight with Fitch. I just hope its nothing too serious.

 

damn he was talking real big leading up to the fight, he even proclaimed he would K.O fitch so i knew he had his confidence.

stupid question but what does it "mean" to have brain irregularity? like his brain waves are sending mixed signals? or is it damage in the brain from too many concussions?

 

damn thats too bad, hope whatever the problem is he can get it fixed, i read they might move this to the fight night on the 31st if he can get cleared

LB3000 you have the best av lol, that video is hilarious

 

ben saunders in for thiago

 

Also just read the same, Ellenberger is going to step aside. Camoes vs. Pellegrino has been promoted to the main card. I thought the Drwal vs. Palhares would have got promoted. It a shame as I'm actually looking forward to that fight.

 

Woooow, Ben Saunders is fighting Fitch? That's nuts. I think Saunders has GREAT potential but Fitch is a monster, I think he might be a little too early for Saunders right now. They made a mistake throwing him in with Swick(even though I think Saunders is way better than Swick) because he's just too green right now.

 

Besides the fact that Swick KTFO him. I think Saunders orginal opponet Jake Ellenberg would have been a tougher fight for Fitch. Jake put Carlos Condit through absolute heel and put Mike Pyle to sleep that guy is super dangerous.

 

Fitch will destroy Saunders, no way Saunders is ready for that fight, its horrible news for Alves, the guy is one of the most exciting fighters out there.

 

Huh. I'm curious; what makes you think that Saunders is "way better" than Swick? I like Saunders a lot, but apart from maybe the ferocity with which he throws knees I can't think of anything that Saunders does better than Swick.

Anyway, I think Fitch will take him down and beat him up. I would have preferred to see Elenberger vs Fitch because their strengths match up a bit better.

 

I think his stand up is better. I don't think Swick would EVER be able to do **** to Saunders while they're both down.
If you watch him fight Swick you'll see how mentally unprepared he was for the big time. I promise you the result will be different if they fight again.

 

Fighting Mike Swick on the undercard of a small PPV isnt exactly the big time. If he could not mentally handle him then what happens when he rematches a guy who knocked him out ?

 

We'll see what happens against Fitch. I know Fitch will win but I want to see how Saunders performs against top 3 middleweight.

 

I hope it is something that can be cleared up easily; "brain irregularity" is both vague and scary.
