    Its funny you mention that because this has been one of the few times ive thought about not going by my usual ranking method and ranking you and butt ahead of the 15-4 guys..... but i decided not to because then it sets the bar of 'well i did it in this case, why not this case' and so on and so forth, then rankings become too subjective, and id like to keep it as system based as possible....

    Your right there though man, i know you see your rank and think your way low but this year rankings are so so competetive and tight, that i **** you not if you had 2 more wins, making you 14-1, and everyone else stayed where they were at, you would be ranked 8th!

    anyways, good luck, i hope to follow in your shoes and make it to 12-1 :deal

    Ive been looking into the vasquez sonsona fight, and i really like what i see from both fighters to be honest, but to me it seems like sonsona is going to be the drastically smaller guy, i will be interested in seeing if he can overcome that. i think i will wait for the weigh in to make my pick on that one :think

    Sonsona is the taller fighter :blood...do you mean in mass? :huh

    I feel Sonsona carries the harder punch, quicker hand and feet, and overall punch accuracy...I hate to bet against a fellow countrymen, but if I'm gonna get to that throne I gotta do it.

    But I think Sonsona will find it much harder to land on Vasquez than his previous opponents and this is really a pick em fight, but I just think Marvin edges him a bit in the physicals.

    Interesting :think As always VARG i love your breakdowns.

    as for the size, ya, just in dimensions i guess.... he just seemed much skinnier but maybe it was just me. I am curious to see how he fills out the weight (this WILL be his first fight in that weight correct?) and i dont know, im thinking of picking vasquez in this one.... we will see. Seems like a good matchup and im actually getting pretty intreagued with this one.

    He's pretty skinny. But the **** of it is that skinny guys are grossly deceptive. You think "here's a taller skinny dude...I'ma send his ass to tomorrow" And he suddenly punches like a mule. It's a ***** of a reality to find out come fight night, but it's not the rarest story in the game.

    Seeing how his KO ratio is 80% (mostly of bums but so is Vasquez's too) it seems to me that since he's skinny he'll fill out much better in the new weight class...

    And with that classic A-side meth they got over there in the Phillipines...Marvin's gonna be bangin' like a champ. :yep:lol:
