Lawler vs Manhoef - Strikeforce, Jan 30th

this is going to be sick i can see lawler getting ktfo

 

After seeing Manhoef get clocked by that Japanese fighter, I'm not backing this fight as a shoe-in for him.

 

As a Lawler fan I can, sadly, also see this as a big possibility.

As a Lawler fan I can, happily, see this as a real possibility as well.

I really just hope that Robbie's bravado doesn't get the better of him and leads him into just a flat out slugfest because I don't think he stands much of a chance in that situation. On the other hand I don't want him to totally abondon his aggression because he has to keep Melvin honest by using at least the threat of his power, which is a huge threat.

 

That's a good card, and I am glad I can get commentary from fighter who understand the sport.

 

WTF!! How is Hieron/Riggs not on the main card? This is the only thing i don't like about Strikeforce. They'll happily demote a fight between contenders to the undercard just to put on freakshow or showcase fights.

Also I don't think Manhoef/Lawler is as clear cut as some people think. It is very possible that Manhoef gets KOed as well. That said I think Manhoef wins. Great fight. I like Diaz/Zaromskis too.

 

I think Lashly might still need an opponent,Ambriz was also ruled out. They better hurry only got 2 weeks.

 

Strikeforce need to sort it out with the late signings. Walker and Lashley didn't have opponents until last minute. Too many guys fall out too. Strikeforce should be promoting competative bouts not cannon fodder for their names.

 

Wow, I love to back my half pinoy brother Lawler but man as if they are feeding him to manhoef.

 

This will be a great fight. I hope Lawler mixes in his wrestling enough to hang with Manhoef.

 

Lawler may not be as technically sound as Manhoef but he has dynamite in his hands. He could definitely KO Manhoef if he lands well.

 

Should be a great stand up fight, would pass out due to shock if one of them went for a takedown.
