    I'm a bit disappointed with my Boys PACs performance. He did well but not in a explosive I expected. Props to MAB, he fought cautiously.

    Now we flips have another shot with Vera..I hope he destroys TIM..
    I see this fight a domination but TIM always have that punchers chance

    We'll see, don't like either fighter but I'd rather see Vera win.

    He'll get beat by Gonzaga if he beats Sylvia.

    Umm I dont know about that. Why because Gonzagas High Kick??:rofl
    Gonzagas another loss away from obscurity. He's very dangerous though but I think his stand up is still crude. Couture was able to neutralize him standing up, hes very predictable with that RHK.

    Vera isnt even a Heavyweight and if he becomes a heavyweight champ in this deep division. He could be the greatest of all time.

    I dunno, i just think he falls into Gonzaga's game. We'll see. If he clears the division, he'll be up there with the greats. But it's too soon to say anything about the guy. Personally, I think he's overrated right now.

    He is a bit overrated , its just his skills just shows...just like a young GSP when he didnt have the greatest resume, you can still see the skillset, although I see Veras striking as really textbook. He is also a great personality, will be great for the sport

    no kidding, you can't count big tim out of any fight, but I think Vera has the goods to beat him on his feet and the ground.

    I hope he does but now Sylvias being written off agian. Noboddy expected a brutal KO over Ricco and we all thought Arlovski would take him apart in 1 round agian in April 06 but Big Timmy was holding that belt when it was over. Obviously hes one of those guys whos at his best when doubted.
