Barboza vs Varner

BOOM goes the dynomite

Barboza will pick Varner apart piece by piece on the feet if it turns into a technical striking the only chance he has is bringing the fight to Barboza with a high pace taking it to the ground and finishing it there that's why I asked how his wrestling was and his fight IQ, if he's a dumbass that thinks he can win on the feet even when he's losing then there's no chance.

Other than that I think he has a good shot at winning considering his odds, I think Barboza has been a tad overrated, he doesn't really get aggressive, he's a technical striker who doesn't rush into anything, he has a lot of surprises striking wise and can catch guys with kicks that they aren't prepared for. Varner does have KO power so he can always win if he turns it into a war. But judging from some of his previous fights he seems to be a whiner if things don't go his way and he doesn't really have a great Fight IQ so I could see him getting frustrated and picked apart.

Exactly what I predicted

Your master strikes again

Doubt it mattered but Varner was holding the cage for balance when he was pounding barboza..... on replay only the final 4 punches, so I guess the fight was already decided.

lol does it matter when you're getting your face punched in and you're not doing anything back

that one right hand he caught him with at the end is what did it, that was just a picture perfect strike which made the difference in the stoppage after that barboza was just a shell of himself

suprised Varner was able to get the better of Barboza on the feet, Barboza's kicks looked good but Varner's boxing was too much for him.

Right you are sir, right you are. Great Job. I didn't even have money on Barboza but I'm still rattled he lost (he's a sick fighter), just shocking. Utterly ridiculous -550 line.
