Wow, what an intelligent logic chain.... So Arlovski is a bum because he got KOd by Fedor? Liddell is a bum after Rampage KO? W.Silva is a bum after getting KOd by Rampage? etc etc.. atsch
After? No. Hindsight is 20/20. But to confidently predict an easy KO speaks to you having a pretty low opinion of Machida, beyond him being just slightly underrated. Your casual dismissal makes him sound like a tomato can.
You're over analyzing. If Machida wins this I will be shocked. Yes, I have a low opinion of him but he's not a bum by any means. I predict Liddell to KTFO Shogun but I don't think Shogun is a bum. Bottom line, Rashad KO Machida. Since Machida is probably going to be running a 10 mile run, I think it'll happen in later rounds.
Ill make a bet with you ufoalf. If Evans wins a round, Im good for a month. If Rashad wins the fight Id do it for 3. Now if Evans get shut out, how about a year for you?
Machida is too elusive and skilled to be defeated by Evans, plain and simple. Machida is at a higher level. It would take a bad Machida night and a great Evans night for things to shift Evans' way.
this seems to happen a lot with evans though. i can't bet against him that's for sure but i do think Machida should win.
comon, no one year bet...it's stupid and useless..I mean, its not the general boxing forum..we are what, 10 at most who post here on a daily base..
it only took 2 1/2 years for Machida to get a shot, if he could speak English and came from the WWF he would have had one 2 years ago.
I'll go with machida. This guy got the goods even though he is not very exciting to watch. He can beat you on the ground and stand up.
lol @ easy knockout :rofl It's not easy to land on machida cuz his always moving and out of range to get hit. Machida has defeated pretty good fighters in his last couple of fights. Thiago Silva-Tito Ortiz-Sokoudjou.. those guys were pretty good. Tito Ortiz should have won vs Evans had he not been deducted by 1 point in that fight. Machida beat ortiz. Machida's style is not very exciting but he is very good on his feet and on the ground. I see this fight going 3 rounds with machida being crowned as the New Champion :good
