I think there is a strong bias for people giving rounds to guys who are losing but doing a bit better in a round than the previous round. You see that happening all the time where someone gets beaten comfortably for a whole round and then the next round is close and then the guy who was losing in the first round gets that second round in like 75% of the times.
Thiago Santos was also doing that too. He was training at his local gym, looked like he did almost no sparring at all. Their focus is not on fighting but post career goals.
yah i agree.I think im passing on this fight too and going to include a safer bet from the next card into my parlay. they're too even, but Souza poses a threat with his striking but can also just get out worked by the younger guy. When i did the spread sheet, it came out near even. You have a young fighter who is going to be shaper but still behind on striking vs a guy who is more well rounded but may be very eroded. its nothing concrete, and i cant reach a solid conclusion.
She is over inflated but Cachoeira has one of the worst fight iq i've ever seen, she is like George foreman without the talent. She throws the most loaded predictable punches and follows her opponent in a straight line while not moving her head and eating shots like Rocky Balboa.
I thought Ferg would give Dariush problems for awhile too. The cardio, the damage he dishes out. But then that loss to Oliveria happened, and that Gillespie vs CDF fight offered some very recent insight into Dariush's grappling ability.
A friend of mine whose opinion I respect is very much a big fan of TFerg too, and he is convinced he's done at this point.
