Sylvia vs Vera , absolutely horrible.

I am assuming the entire fight was stand up, and Sylvia out jabbed Vera?

That is sort of surprising , so many was hyping Vera.

 

^Sylvia smothered Vera the whole time and held him against the cage for the majority of the fight. Vera couldn't get any kicks off and ate a few fists and elbows.

 

It's a fight, and I really can't blame Sylvia for doing what he had to do in order to get a big win that he needed. Sylvia turned up the heat as the fight went on, and when Tim turned up the heat, Vera didn't want any.

I was rooting for Vera too, as Sylvia gets on my nerves. But, we can't bash on Sylvia for doing the same sort of things that Couture (one of my favs) gets cheered for.

 

Vera threw 2 punches in last 2 rounds. If i am to trust Vera, he broke his hand in first and thats why he was backing up and he was blocking shots weird. But like i've said before, I think he's overrated.

 

the high point of that **** was seeing that dumb motherfcuker sylvia catch a knee to the side of the head when he was still on the ground

 

I think Vera was a bit timid with's Tim's size, Tim was coming forward throwing punches that were making Vera block and keeping him from doing much. His broken hand might have been some of reason. But why didn't the ****in ref separate them when they were clinched against the cage doing nothing? they did this for all 3 rounds and wasted most of the fight in this position until he separated them with 20 seconds left in the fight.

 

I have never subscribed to the Vera bandwagon and have never understood what all the fuss was about..:huh

 

the dumbest thing vera did was clinch from the opening bell. he had some success early when he was able to land some kicks

 

Did you see his hand after the fight? Without anydoubt it was ****ed, when they cut the tape his hand was mashed.

 

Couture doesn't just hold people and wait he has actual strategy once he gets them against the cage,

 

Am i crazy? I didnt think it was that boring..

 

Pics?

 

It was obvious when they showed his hand it was broken and by the fact he kept trying to throw the elbow instead of punching.

 

You could see there was something wrong with it as he barely used the hand.But you couldnt tell it was damaged once he took the wrapping off.It was barely even swollen.
