Struve Vs Barry Pic

**cheeese** · 09-30-11, 09:15 PM

Just a thought but I would expect Barry's neck to be vulnerable in clinch scenarios. Barry will likely have to walk him back against the cage before he can unload on Struve's chin and that could create an opportunity to attack the neck for Struve if he is able to clinch. Hopefully someone smarter than me can comment.

barry is going to chop struve down. those legs are a big target. barry tko

**GunShard** · 09-30-11, 11:01 PM

I also think Struve could clinch Barry due to his height.

**5mike5** · 09-30-11, 11:02 PM

i got struve on my parlay +175

I do like Barry with leg kicks. I'll find the video tomorrow, but he won like first 3 fights with a total of 5 or 6 leg kicks... Impressive

**brooks85** · 10-01-11, 10:51 AM

im on "no KOTN issued" at +2000 but there is a couple fights that worry me, this one the most.

if struve can figure out how to keep his distance he should have to trouble getting the W, that hasn't been the case in his previous fights thought.

Don't think the kicks will be as effective against a taller opponent. Its gotta come up higher than usual, and it will be easy to check.

Disagree. He check them all day ... its still gonna hurt

**Hannibal** · 10-01-11, 05:14 PM

You never kicked anyone before? It hurts like hell if your opponent checks properly.. .because most leg kicks are landed with the shin right above the ankle.. which is considerably weaker than the part of the shin that you are supposed to check with.
Struve has big bones, and i bet from supporting so much mass his whole life... those bones are dense as hell. As long as he's not eating them on the thigh and checking with the shin right below the knee those will damage his opponent more than him. It should be easier for him to check kicks with that part of his leg because he is much taller than his opponent and his legs are longer.

I believe that barry will be more successful with his hands than his legs.

I recall several events without a SOTN, but can't without a KOTN. Has there been any?

Im actually a pretty decent kicker. (on a side note, once im done coaching football this season, ll be joining up at Duane Ludwigs gym .... pretty excited) anyways, hes going to hit the side of Struves leg, even if he checks it. I dont think it will hurt Barry that much, when i first started muay thai, we got hit in the shins ll the time with bamboo sticks to deaden the nerves. Im not sure what Barry has done, but im sure his legs are conditioned to kick trees. (Another sick thing we did)

Yes, it has happened at least twice. I can't remember the exact events though. I think Mir/CC was one and we had one a couple events back I believe.

He did KO him, but the fight sucked in Dana White's opinion, so Dana White didn't give a KO of the night.

**Kaladarus** · 10-01-11, 08:43 PM

Thinking more about this and I honestly can't remember a time it has happened since then. For some reason I thought it just happened a few UFCs back, but I can't find any information.

**Kaladarus** · 10-01-11, 08:45 PM

Kind of funny thing I noticed also on UFC 76. UFC 76 was called UFC 76 Knockout and there was no KO of the night on that card either.

**SportsPedagogy** · 10-01-11, 09:15 PM

Barry might accidently punch struve in the junk.

**SportsPedagogy** · 10-01-11, 09:22 PM

Damn .... i knew it would go down like that ... i didnt bet.... did wanna cheer against pat ... money on the table ... double sad
