Destino Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Smith’s corner needs to consider ending this one. Glover is extending this fight for no obvious reason. He’s had the fight in hand multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I think it's safe to say Smith needs a finish in the 5th round. Not just a finish, but the most miraculous finish ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I expected the broken orbital bone. There was an exchange where it looked like a possible eye poke that turned out to be clean. His reaction followed by turtling up immediately after it suggested some real damage was done. His corner failed him last night. They put him at risk when it was clear that he wasn’t really able to fight back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Seeing weigh-ins for tomorrow's card and i had no idea Barboza was dropping to 145. I'm shocked and afraid that he found another 10lbs on his frame to cut. Edited May 15, 2020 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I recommend taking note of Song Yadong on Saturday's card. Great young prospect, who I raved about prior to his fight against Alejandro Perez, and he did not disappoint at all. After that he had one more fight that was "flukey" and ended up a Draw, due to a point deduction, but this young man is very polished, skilled, and very promising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Thus far, that's about as good a main card as you can have, without any finishes. Although the Anders fight was a bit disappointing in some ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) That was real tough to watch Harris lose like that. But Reem handled it, more than respectfully. Felder, too ; "Just say whatever it is, you want to say right now". Because most likely, there really aren't any good questions to ask, at that point.

I think he could win that fight. He's hard to hit and when he has been hit, he's never really been hurt. Of course, Ngannou has the chin breaker in his arsenal. As impressive as Ngannou has been, I still have no idea if he's any better than the guy who was defeated by Stipe & Lewis. If Bones can get out of the first few minutes of round 1, I think he could outstrike Ngannou over 5 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bones can get out of the first few minutes of round 1, I think he could outstrike Ngannou over 5 rounds. I don’t think Bones looked very hard to hit against long tall opponents. He’s certainly looked like the better fighter as the fights went into the later rounds though. He grinds out victories in his tougher fights... but he can’t do that against Ngannou. If he gets touched early he’s done (as is everyone else on the planet earth). I think he’s going to get back to that superior wrestling of his. Nothing takes the pop out of punches like an empty tank. On paper this isn’t a safe fight for him. A lot of risk with limited upside. The only thing to really gain is a truck load cash.
