Overeem is young his only about 26 himself.But his so horribly inconsistent that i fear its time for him to hang them up before he gest severely hurt.It pisses me off watching a guy that talented loose again and again.
He left his kickboxing coach who I consider one of the best in Holland. His name is Lucien Carbin. Alistair has to stay at heavyweight IMO and try to get comfortable at that weight. And he needs to work on his boxing(developping a jab and footwork). I haven't given up on him yet. Manhoef is great but he can be KO-ed. But he's fights very smart nowadays and is a threat to anyone.
Manhoef is a savage.His absolutely great to watch.His hands are very fast and very powerful.He can easily strike with ANYONE at 205 and im dam sure he`d KO Chuck in a flash.He`d even give Rampage a good run for his money too.His definitly one of the top 205lb guys in the world.
I saw him getting beat up against Rodney Faverus when I attended the Showtime event 2 yrs ago. That's a guy with a very good chin who uses constant pressure. I'd like to believe that Manhoef is a much better fighter now but I still have to see how he handles a pressure fighter with a good chin and decent power. I think he has a great chance to KO Chuck but I wouldn't bet on it.
So, Kharitov beat Alistair's ass? Like he should of the first time. I didnt see this fight, but the first fight seemed like a fluke. Sergei hurt his shoulder , couldnt do anythng , and was pounded on the ground in the first fight. It was no effort at all from sergei, his shoulder most of been terrible.
yes , but the point is...Manhoef losing against a guy like dong sik is not something one should be ashamed of. that's my point of view. a guy who goes the distance against ufc's champ can't be all that bad... and his two latest fights showed me that he was more confident and that he could handle the pressure...his judo technic is amazing and it's working well for him...i don't think he'll ever be at the top but when he's "on"...it's still surprisingly impressive.
Totally agree.Considering Manhoef closed his eye and fractured his orbital to the point that his eye was literally a swollen slit id say both guys were very evenly matched.
