Of course, pending what happens tonight. good call, but I like Benavidez's resume a little more than Romero's. He doesn't have a bad loss like Romero losing to Feijao taking Adesanya & Zhang to win retain their titles tonight. I'm a little concerned the main event could be a slow burn or boring fight altogether. Both Adesanya & Whitaker are counter strikers by nature and Romero is usually very patient as he likes to build a book on what his opponent is doing. I'm hoping he remembers that he is olympic silver medalist in wrestling. Been awhile since Romero has ragdolled someone. Izzy has shown good strategy in his takedown defense, but he hasn't seen anyone remotely close to Romero's pedigree, few exist. That said, Romero usually has issues holding people down even if he does take them down. Adesanya might have to survive a scary moment or two, but i think he gets the decision. Haven't seen much of Zhang, but the power she showed in the Andrade fight was either an evolution to her game or just the best timing of a shot of her career. She's a better athlete than Joanna and I think her speed with her counters will give Joanna problems.

ksun247 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Dangerous fight for Izzy. Upset alert: Picking Romero by TKO. Zhang is gonna destroy JJ. TKO in 2, if it lasts that long. Edited March 7, 2020 by ksun247 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Holy ****! Dariush got himself one of those special Hollywood fights where one guy is close to getting a KO, but then suddenly everything goes the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Do Itch Big Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Zhang and Romero. But I could see Israel winning and making it look easy. I don’t see Joanna winning in any fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Zhang and JJ are giving us a show. The sheer volume of strikes thrown is wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 2-1 Zhang for me after 3, super close rounds though Joanna's forehead may give birth before this fight ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 This fight is an instant classic. GREAT fight. I think Zhang is winning but I can’t defend it too well, both are landing by the dozen. The announcing team has largely stopped talking and are just reacting. “Ooohhh!” haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 this is the type of fight that neither person will be the same after Joanna looking like an extra in a horror movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) 3-2 Zhang for me, good luck scoring that **** though going to be very hard to beat that for fight of the year Edited March 8, 2020 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 1-1 after 2, izzy picked up the pace by landing like 5 leg kicks. Romero had a brief flurry. boring, but tense fight. feels like we're on the edge of danger that my never fully present itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Izzy's won the last 2 rounds on activity, but nothing significant or damaging. He's winning because Yoel is is throwing 2 strikes per round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) the dance-off during the fight announcement was better than the fight not the kind of performance Izzy needed if he wants to continue to build his star Edited March 8, 2020 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
