Man, I caught most of last weeks fights to get in the house, some talent better than I've ever seen on TUF for sure. Now tonight, that tall skinny kid absolutely flukes out attempting a kick with Krushiank goin headfirst for a takedown but literally running into the others knee. Then Dominick picks his toughest fighters (kid I think will win the whole show) and tells Uriah to pick whoever he wants, bot NOBODY steps up or wants to fight the guy. So Dominick ends up picking like he should have anyway. Pretty exciting season so far. Tons of KOs, even an 8 second KO and guys with tons of explosive power and speed. Goin be some great battles.
It's really good and I haven't been a fan of any of the last few years TUFs. Having the fights live kinda dramatizes it more, making it more exciting. But the level of talent is better than any season before. I swear that #1 pick of Cruz's could beat Cruz. LOL Guys been fighting since he was 6
yeah 'short guy' was starting to dominate 'tall guy' and i felt sure he'd knock him out. he was unlucky that he put his head down at the same time as 'tall guy' shoved his knee into his face. 'short guy' actually looked the business.
The tall kid even admitted he was going for a kick but dudes head ran into his knee. LOL He was getting outclassed and short guy was just startin to really open up. Really bad luck, that kid barely won his fight to get in the house and guaranteed he gets KTFO next fight.
Cruz totally owned Faber on the fight pick, but this is the worst possible match up for Lawrence. Those awesome kicks he used in the first fight might just get him put on his back and totally owned by Marcello. Do we even know how well the kid grapples? If you look at the guys he's beaten in his three fights, they have even less experience than he does. Lawrence may still win and be the real deal everyone is saying, but this is the fight Faber should have picked for him, not Cruz.
Did anyone else think that for all the talk and tatoos about Vick's boxing chops, he almost never throws ****ing punches when he's fighting? He looks to have good technique when they show him on the mitts, but the clip of him training with Cruz where Cruz had to show him how to move around the bag and not stand still...that didn't seem like someone who's a really experienced boxer. Who knows. Maybe he was just tired. I told my wife that a guy who won two golden gloves tournaments is probably a better striker than your average TKD blackbelt and then he went out there and looked lousy, so I'm wondering what the deal is. At some point I'd like to see the guy actually throw a good combo on someone.
Ya, nobody wants to fuk with that kid. First time I've seen that and not seen somebody jump at a chance to fight.
:deal Faber had no idea, was not prepared for it at all. He looked **** and scared to throw he fluked out and I imagine the other winners will all be gunning for him come the next round.
