Seems like it would be easier to do PBP

in MMA matches. Probably seems that way cause I’m much more MMA educated

by Infinite_Jest on Apr 3, 2010 5:03 AM EDT up reply actions  

PBP in kickboxing is sort of futile

“He lands a left, right then a low kick” x100, you know? That is what PBP of Saki/Jaideep would’ve been.

I got DirecTV and wil be up a while…Saki definatly won round 1 as the best Singh Jaideep could come up with were bad knee attempts….judges called it a draw though

by Illogik on Apr 3, 2010 4:59 AM EDT reply actions  

30-27, 30-27. 30-28

i think i got that right….either way he won

by Infinite_Jest on Apr 3, 2010 4:59 AM EDT reply actions  

Clearly there was a pretty big disparity in skill on show, buy Saki exposed him in the manner you would expect.

He won all three rounds, despite what a couple of the judges would have people believe. He was better on outright offence and specifically on the counter, with every Hardeep robotic shot followed by a combo culminating in a crunching low kick. My favourite momen of the fight was when Gokhan threw a left liver shot punch and right chopping thigh kick in one motion. Smooth.

Basically, the Indian didn’t know how to fight like a fighter with a five inch height advantage. He stayed within range of Saki’s leg kicks.constantly, didn’t establish a jab and his defensive work all round was pretty poor.

Hopefull that’s done enough to get Saki into the eventual final 16, but the quality of opposition should be taken into account.

by IainLiddle on Apr 3, 2010 5:06 AM EDT reply actions  

Not sure why I called him Hardeep above. Apologies Singh.

by IainLiddle on Apr 3, 2010 5:07 AM EDT up reply actions  

I also feel that the new rule affected his game

Throughout the fight I saw him reach for the clinch…

by Illogik on Apr 3, 2010 5:16 AM EDT reply actions  

Tyrone won thr second round imo. Can see why it was 10-10 but that seems harsh on Spong.

20-18 JLB going into the third.

Anyone know the weight difference here?

by IainLiddle on Apr 3, 2010 5:20 AM EDT reply actions  

Spong’s not giving up though pretty good round for him…Id score the 2nd a draw

by Illogik on Apr 3, 2010 5:21 AM EDT reply actions  

10-8, 10-10, third roudn is going to be 10-9

Spong would have won this if there were more roudns

by Infinite_Jest on Apr 3, 2010 5:24 AM EDT reply actions  

Spong dazed him with that knee…but hes not following up on it very well, still gonna need a ko though

by Illogik on Apr 3, 2010 5:25 AM EDT reply actions  

Well, Spong definitely won the last round, and convincingly, but it was always going to be a 10-9 without a knockdown.

Spong was only one mistake away from a draw, because that knockdown in the first was sloppy defence on his part, plus he finished the stronger over the final six minutes. As Illogik said, if he had followed up that knee which rocked JLB then he could have snuck a draw. JLB looked beyond tired at the end.

by IainLiddle on Apr 3, 2010 5:26 AM EDT reply actions  

Yeah LeBanner started out looking real good but had no stamina. Spong stayed in the fight but didn’t do enough.

by Illogik on Apr 3, 2010 5:30 AM EDT up reply actions  

This is why I wished the fights were 5 rounds

at least. Honestly I wish they were like boxing matches

by Infinite_Jest on Apr 3, 2010 5:31 AM EDT reply actions  

I’m inclined to agree. I like the sprint nature of it a lt a lot of the time, and both combatants go into it knowing the rules, but longer fights determine the truly better fighter imo.

I feel the same about MMA as well.

Was that another faul by Overeem?

by dancingChicken on Apr 3, 2010 5:42 AM EDT reply actions  

Poturak won the first minute of the fight, which was probably the worst thing he could have done in hindsight.

Overeem stands a chance against anyone in the world with his power. Ultimately, I still see him falling short against elite guys, but no doubt he’s fun to watch.

his original base was grappling

Which is why I’m excited to see him go back to MMA. He’ll destroy as long as he can pass the tests (drug tests)

Hopefully Schiavello will be able to hide his hard-on during the Hari fight

I had erased the memory of that Overeem-Hari semi-final from my mind. I know most on here like the blatant pro-Hari bias, but it’s one of the worst bits of sports commentating I’ve ever seen personally.

I don’t want to see fans in the booth. I like enthusiasm, but be objective. It’s a basic job requirement.

Bit sad to see Aerts go down like that, especially after the obvious commitment and effort he’d shown to get into such good shape. No machine in te gym to take years off you though.

Question must be asked, how many times can yo uget hit by the same right hand? Fair play to Kyotaro, although he needs to stop crying immediately.

I don’t really understand the Semmy hate. People talk about him as though he’s a K-1 version of Valuev, when he’s far more active and also a very good fighter. Plus he’s not so omnipotent that nobody could ever best him, so there’s normally interest going into his fights, especially at the top level.

Hari-Ignashov could be superb. Can’t see it going the distance.
