GSP by early TKO.

He is gonna tear Shields ass a new one standing. If shields charges forward with his kitten like striking he is getting Knocked Out!

Jules: Normally, both your asses would be dead as fucking fried chicken, but you happen to pull this shit while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you this case, it don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much shit this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ass.

I don't always hope for draft picks, but when I do, I prefer Owen Marecic.

Weight

Don’t title fights have to be on weight or under the limit?

by troquezz on Apr 29, 2011 4:44 PM EDT reply actions  

Im not sure about under, but yes you have to be on weight you dont get a one pound grace. Which makes me wonder will Aldo’s fight be for the title, since Mark was over 145.

Shields may be the least intimidating fighter out there. Well, the least intimidating fighter near the top of a division at least.

Has there ever been a towel thrown in a UFC bout?

I dont recall such an event.

GSP vs Penn 2

by RJshock 305 on Apr 29, 2011 4:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

Oh yeah!

When GSP keeps this standing all 5 rounds, you reckon a towel will be thrown in?

It should have happened in the Koscheck fight and Shields standup is far below his.

I dont see it happening.

I cant picture anyone from that team ever throwing a towel in for Jake. As for Koscheck, Yes that shit should have been stopped in round three. Since the doctor didnt do his damn job, he now has nerve damage.

GSP is throwing with power in this fight. He has no need to worry about getting caught with a strike that puts his lights out. Shields is getting Knocked out.

negative

Shields took Dan henderson’s over hand right (twice if i’m remembering correctly) in the first round when Hendo was fresh and still got back to his fight and won 5 rounds. Are you saying that GSP hits harder than Hedo????

by TSMstudio on Apr 29, 2011 4:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

There’s obviously a lot more to it than that.

No.

I am not saying that GSP hits harder then Henderson. I am saying that GSP can pack enough force to KO shields. Punching isnt all about power man. GSP hits hard and way faster then Hendo. GSP mass with his speed can KO shields if he connects enough times.

GSP can certainly punch hard enough and accurately enough and frequently enough

to break bones in Jake’s face. Knocking him out isn’t the only way for punches to stop the fight.

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

by Llewdor on Apr 29, 2011 5:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

hendo did put him to sleep for a brief moment, before the mat woke him up. never underestimate the mat, the 209 knows how to use it to their advantage in more ways than one.

by legion4 on Apr 29, 2011 5:04 PM EDT up reply actions   1 recs

its time to see if all that olympic training added any power to his strikes

or was it only good for that ESPN fight science showcase. and the 209 doesnt believe in throwing towels, worse one would get slapped for saying such things in that camp lolz.

by legion4 on Apr 29, 2011 5:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

To be fair.

All of his training for this camp was focused on BJJ defense and adding power to his strikes. Thy gymnastics was to make him more agile, and limber while also giving him more power. Shields was training for strength with all those weights. GSP was training for power. People might not understand the difference but there is a big one.

you’re right about the olympic stuff, but didnt gsp train with that black olympic lifter on primetime ? following that segment they said they are trying to add power to his strikes, thats what i was referring to in my previous comment.

by legion4 on Apr 29, 2011 5:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

Hmm. Maybe. I thought that when they introduced the black olympic boxer is when they first said that they were adding to the power of his punches by working on the mechanic of it. All the weight lifting he did was targeted towards his hips cause that is where the power is generated.

Nerve damage! Dayuuum.

I reckon GSP wins via TKO.

would it be fair to say the size difference is on par with gsp/hardy ?

sorry my netbook aint got no silverlight, so cant watch the weigh in till i get home.

by legion4 on Apr 29, 2011 5:07 PM EDT reply actions  

Not entirely sure what you mean?

it did look like to me that Shields was hella drawn out at the weigh ins.

you know how hardy was a tad taller and bigger than gsp at 111 ? i was wondering if the size discrepancy here is any more or less like that ?

by legion4 on Apr 29, 2011 5:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

Oh duh. Ya, Shields is taller by an inch or so, and come fight time maybe slightly bigger, but i seriously doubt he is stronger then GSP.

if the fight goes over 2 rds, its going to the judges

the first 2 rds is when sheilds needs to lock up a sub, its when he will be fresh and gsp will be dry, after that you cant really compare the cardio of the 2 fighters, gsp just gets better with every round where as sheilds tends to fade, and this is when gsp becomes slippery making it impossible to get a hold of.

for gsp, if he abandons his cautious style and really goes after sheilds, a tko in 3 or 4th is very much possible. i dont really see sheilds winning the points game, he has to tap st peirre in the early rounds.

by legion4 on Apr 29, 2011 5:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

We have a winner.

Also Shields begins to walk forward and eat punches to get a hold of you. He could get a way with that because Hendo was dead. GSP will knock his ass stupid if he drops his hands for a second. He can super man punch you in half a second!
