Sam Alvey vs Tom Watson

[MD]

What exactly is Sam Alvey's wrestling background UFCFAN?

He was a D3 college wrestler out of a shitty school. Not a standout.

[marzwoody]

I'll give it a shot.

He's incredibly difficult to finish, he has relatively high fight IQ, Alvey probably won't try to take him down, and he's not at a sizeable disadvantage on the feet, if he's at one at all. Good matchup for Watson.

You dont think Alvey has the striking advantage? 14 KO's is impressive. and watson looked like shit in his last fight. wish kong good luck using those leg kicks against someone whos basically a kickboxer.

Course watson could grind it out to a win. i dont really know how serious Alvey is about this whole fighting thing.

[Bumdeal]

If Nedkov hadn't gassed Watson would be 0-4 in the UFC.

The striking is close but Alvey has a 3 inch reach advantage which I believe will be the difference. Watson isn't a good wrestler and I think Alvey is smart enough to sprinkle in a few takedowns. Once Watson has the takedowns on his mind it will open up Alvey's pressure striking game that much more

for me it was a simple choice to grab Alvey at +130

[UFC_FAN]

Alvey has been working alot on his wrasslin' if Sam doesnt get a knockout victory it will be an easy decision W for Smilin' Sam! I believe Alvey will have a nice UFC career.

Sam Alvey has been training at Team Quest now so I'm sure his ground game has improved. Common sense tells me this... I'm on Alvey in this fight....

I thought it was called "Bleacher Report"?

"Alvey would probably be the first to admit he's a brawler type. But he also is based at Team Quest, that little camp featuring Dan Henderson, Chael Sonnen and a few others known for the ground game. You think he picked up a thing or two while he was there?
Prediction: Alvey, unanimous decision"




Just to balance out my dickishness, though, I'll throw you a nugget. Alvey's been training at Quest for years, it's not even close to being a new thing, so it shouldn't play any more of a factor than it did in any of his previous fights.

No Shiiit.. MD.. I posted that bleacher report link so you bet your arse I read it first.. I actually saw the Team Quest training on Sherdog for Alvey long before so if I am reiterating this comment now it probably comes from both sherdog, bleacher report and common sense to be honest...http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Sam-Alvey-35410

Alot of my post info. comes from reading article sources like Bleacher report and many others.. You should know this by now MD as I post them up all the time..... This is how I gather up information..

Just trying to help with info... That's being cool... Something you should practice once in a while MR. MD sir...

Take what you want from the write up links as always or just dismiss them MD.. IDC....

I literally just did. Do you even read my posts, or do you just assume that I'm going to badmouth you and write your replies without even reading them?

The first half of my post was a joke, and not even an offensive one, and the second half was me helping you out, since you were using misinformation to justify your wager. Not my fault if you took it the wrong way.

[Sacrelicious]

Both Sam Alvey and Tom Watson are very tough gentlemen.

MD you rip me a new arse just about every chance you get... I'm use to it though.. All good.

So are we all in on Alvey then gents? Is it a done deal????

In future, don't give me that "y dnt U post info MD" crap, because every time I try to teach you anything, you ignore it.

[MarkWoodstick]

I strongly disagree MD.... If a fighter has lost his mojo so to speak, burned out, not fighting confident, not focused on the task at hand going in then you're not gonna get the best fighter that guy can be in the cage come fight night.. This is a very mental sport, just ask Andrei Arlovski about this subject when he didn't have his mind right....

Being focused, fighting smart and being confident going into these fights are very significant and could make the difference between winning and losing.... So a mental state should be considered as a factor in the equation I believe. Especially if you can gather that information and make sure it's 100% accurate and coming in from a reputable source......

My take anyways on a fighters "mental state"....

You my friend, are a modern day Tolstoy.

[marzwoody]

Sam Alvey looks like a f-kn goon smilin like a tard and wearing dumb underwear.

[MarkWoodstick]

I'm watching some of Alvey's fights and his "American's Next Top Model" winning wife is shouting out instructions to him. Is that a penetrating joke?

[PaperTrail07]

UFC loves a good story That's why he is fighting Watson Alvey w the W

You were checking out the package marz, dont deny it.

[MarkWoodstick]

2 pages of comments and I have yet to hear a convincing argument for Sam Alvey.

[BIGDAY]

Guys, he's a wrastler... What more do ya need??

[MarkWoodstick]

In the fights I've seen him in, he didn't once attempt a takedown. The guy is a "brawler", plain and simple.

[MarkWoodstick]

I just put down my bet for Watson. I think he's going to put an absolute beating on Alvey.

[marzwoody]

^ WRONG did you not see Alveys outfit at the weigh ins? he means serious bidniss cuz. expect watson to get starched in round 1.

[NunyaBidness]

Bottom line is, Sam Alvey is a goony-goo-goo who looks like the bully from A Christmas Story, yet he has a super hot wife. Women like good looks, money, and badasses.

He doesn't have good looks. He's a fighter, so doesn't have any money. So he must be one hell of a badass.

To account for that: when W=!!!, and $=0, =EW, MD=1.

I might as well have given you my bets on Watson. How could I have been so blind...

[UFC_FAN]

Ready to pay this months rent with Sams W!

[MD]

Look how focused and mentally prepared he looks! JIBBBY was right!

[Bumdeal]

No take down attempts. Barely any offense at all. Sucking wind in the first round. Really weird.

[UFC_FAN]

Finish him alvey fock!!!!

[Sacrelicious]

Called it, Tom Watson by effective kicking strategy.

[UFC_FAN]

Alvey is better but faught like a fockface

You know he's fought before, right?

[MD]

Alvey is better but faught like a fockface

Guy only knows how to move forward slowly while throwing one punch at a time, or bumrush forward slowly and throw a few punches in succession.

Get over yourself.

[Bumdeal]

Please explain? Are you saying that's not his style? I get it, but he does have wrestling experience and Watsons weakness is wrestling and being on is back. Figured there'd be more strategy from Sam
