StrikeForce: Jan. 30th, Sunrise Florida

[layinwood]

It would have never been ended by a leg kick. The last three he checked so big it didn't do much. His problem was he took one too many before he started checking them. I think Lawler thought Melvin would come straight in to try and KO him but he didn't, he took his time and used his kicks. Once Lawler figured it out he checked them, I'm not saying he wasn't hurt and that the kicks weren't huring him bad but he was ok.

diaz prick interview of the year

That punch from Lawler was spot on, that lunatics eyes were in the back of head for minutes. Wow, is all I can say. That is why the MMA is such a crapshoot, be winning the fight and boom, it's over via KTFO or a sub.

i agree that lawler was waiting for the opening...but he almost waited too long....sometimes he`s so patient,he gets into trouble..

i guarantee that after a few of those kicks,i`d have sold my soul to take it to the ground...

speaking of those leg kicks,i can honestly say that they might be the most hurtful i`ve ever seen in mma...more than griffin vs rampage...more than rua vs machida....

actually,i`m not sure you can check that much torque on a kick....i guess you can diminish the damage.....but,he was literally kicking lawler`s leg into a 90 degree angle...i though he might pull his groin....

not taking a thing away from lawler....i respect and love the guy..he`s been good to me wagering-wise.....he weathered a withering attack and picked the perfect moment to throw the right counter...

i don`t think we`ll see a rematch....and i`m not sure who`s gonna have the coulumes to get in there with manhoef...

that was just a scary offensive performance...the dutch tyson?...sounds about right to me...

the fights we all thought would be enjoyable were...and i liked the women`s bout....coenen did about as well as humanly possible...

on to next week`s geezer throwdown...how the hell is that a main event?........

 

[THE_THONG]

melvin can beat herschel

but the fight i want to see is manhoef vs cyborg

that be one hella of a scrap

 

[Ghost Kid]

I would pay all the money in my savings account to see Cyborg fight Kloe Kardashian
would love to see that horrid witch get her faced smashed in
Lamar must have to paperbag that every night....what was thinking?

I guess I see the Lawler fight differently than most. I thought he had a strategy and worked it to perfection. I don't think he thought the leg kicks would do what they did but he said in his interview that Melvin dropped his hands when he would go in to finish people and that's what he was waiting for. Besides the leg kicks I don't think Lawler was in any trouble. At anytime during that fight he could have taken it to the ground if he wanted to and taken his leg away from being kicked.

Lay i saw that Lawller fight exactly like you did. He was playing a rope a dope kind of deal. One reason i didnt bet him is that i didnt think he had the brains to do it. I thought he was waiting for that other nitwit to tire and just plow him. As for Diaz i to think he has improved greatly from his days in the ufc. My problem with him tho is his lack of head movement and man he has a huge head to hit to be not moving it much.

 

[The Sponge]

anyone hear the announcer say Diaz has sparred with Kessler and Ward?

same thing liddell did vs evans...

 

[Ghost Kid]

yep
melvin proved everything kick and keg were saying beforehand
dumbest fighter ever
but still, he was SO CLOSE to winning
damn I wish he had finished it
Lawler literally threw the punch without looking
I guess he had to, with what was coming at him
he just ducks his head and throws
and BANG!
UNREAL

 

[kickserv]

For the record.....I said he was the 2nd dumbest:tongue

I am pretty sure Manhoef got paid by DREAM to avoid getting half of his purse taken in US taxes :mj07:

Good point
That has to be the case....i hope he got paid more than 5g to get the shit knocked out of him

:mj07: :mj07: :mj07: :mj07:

Coenen getting 2g is pretty shitty too.
