There is little to no tape on Penini tbh, I just wasnt very impressed by what I saw from Shipman against Edwards and van Steenis. Shipman has very limited striking and looks to push the fight against the cage to work for takedowns for the most part. Stylistically, I favor Penini because of his mobility. He is an elusive counter striker, he doesnt engage in the clinch, and basically jusy sticks and moves a lot.Why Penini? Okay striker but limited power and questionable grappling. Shipman just fought two superior fighters and arguably beat one of them. I think we're getting great odds on Ship here.
From what iv seen Fluery is very hittable for a tall guy. One of those hooks lands he is outIm more on confident Fleury against Kauppinen. Fleury should take this one to the ground early and dominate or get a submission. Kauppinen has good leg kicks and good KO power on his hands but he is very tentative and doesnt have a lot of output. Plus, Fleury is a southpaw so Kauppinen wont be able to land those leg kicks and will have a hard time keeping the fight standing where he has a distinct advantage.
Yes, Fleury is very hittable and has poor striking. On the other hand, Kauppinen has horrible TDD and ground game. I guess is a matter of which one do you think is more likely to happen: Fleury getting tagged for 3 rounds or KOd and never completing a take down or Kauppinen getting taken down repeatedly and/or submitted early.From what iv seen Fluery is very hittable for a tall guy.
