August 28th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
I’m through the first two fights and my Nostradamus like skills have taken a partial blow.
Cane vs. Nedkov
Wow. This is a surprise. The brawler beats the technical striker. Cane was looking good, he had Nedkov bloodied up from some nice combinations, but Nedkov clipped him with an overhand right and was able to finish it in the first round. I did not see this coming, especially form the way the fight had been going up until Nedkov got in that punch. I’d like to see Nedkov fight again, I don’t think that the punch was a fluke or a lucky shot but I would like to see him in a bit longer fight.
I guessed when and how this fight would end, but I got the fighter wrong. Opps.
2-1.
Nogueira vs. Schaub
Opps. Again the fight ended how and when I thought it would but with the wrong guy with his hands raised. I guess I thought a little too much of Schaub’s icon slaying journey. Of course seeing Big Nog fight in this fight he is still more relevant than Cro Cop, I shouldn’t have thought that because Cro Cop could be beaten quickly that Nogueria would be the same way. That’s good though, because I like Nogueria and would love to get to see him fight a few more times.
2-2. 100% on when and how the fights would end but not who would win.
