Cro Cop had a size advantage over King Mo. He'll be dwarfed by Baruto here. He'll have to connect with the Estonian's chin or head to stop him, Baruto won't even feel a body kick with all that padding! Cro Cop is a way better fighter, but if Baruto gets him down- and he can unlike where King Mo had some trouble- I can't see Cro Cop getting up.I just still dont know about Baruto. I've seen all of his fights but if the guys were a bit more aggressive I think they could pressure him and I'm not sure if he can keep up in a fight were he is not the man in control. Not to mention the guys he faced are....well not in the best shape off their lives. Cro Cop just stopped King Mo - a guy who has been facing much better competition than the absolute norm in this tournament. And Cop looked great all the way through that fight.
Yes.. and Baruto closes the distance incredibly fast for a massive man. He gets into the clinch pretty fast and I dont think Mirko can HongManChoi or BobSapp him at this point (two similar freakshows).Cro Cop had a size advantage over King Mo.
