Ankalaev vs Alex Pereira 2.0 (how do you think it goes)

[wildchild88]

And agreed Gian Maria Volonte's performance is a classic ... Pity though that it was dubbed above the characters original voice... It takes away from the authenticity...

I kinda like the dub though.

Few dollars is the edgiest of the trilogy.

Watched The Great Silence recently, the ending is crazy..

i watched the whole movie 3 times recently.

Love the scene when Clint marches into agua caliente, the bar duels, indio’s cold blooded murders plus the bank robbery.

I've watched it twice, once alone and once with my brother. My brother liked the good, the bad and the ugly more though. I prefer this one despite the more linear narrative, though I've enjoyed all movies from the dollars trilogy.

Ennio Morricone's soundtrack also plays perfectly into each scene. The Musical Pocket Watch that El Indio holds, its soundtrack, is beautiful and daunting at the same time to me... And the way it fits into the scenes of the Indio's murderers is masterfully done too.



Like, the 0:18 seconds sets the tone for a reversal, like the final duel. The 1 minute mark sounds like that Dracula type piano stuff, setting a daunting moment highlighting the cold blooded killing moments... The way the direction is played too, focusing on their expressions as if in slow motion, with the expressions (mainly El Indio's in the final moment dripping a tear) is fantastic. He's a cold blooded villain but the disturbed past, even though fruits of his own mind's disturbing thoughts (perhaps a sense of not belonging or abondonment... I think it was left kinda open), sets him apart from just an average villain... Very good, I may even re-watch some scenes again now.

Ankalaev wins comfortably aside from a dicey moment or two. We’ve seen this play out before, one guy wins a mostly competitive fight. Gains the confidence in the rematch while the loser becomes more cautious leading to a more clear outcome. I don’t think Pereira was just off, I think the threat of the takedown really had him second guessing himself.

 

[pamirec]

I think nothing big changes for Alex. It’ll probably be another decision win for Ankalaev.

Yeah man, the recurring motif of the silver pocket watch playing that music, and the switch to the organ music in that scene is masterful.

Indio’s character is one of the best villain roles ever portrayed imo. Such a wild / emotion filled performance.

I guess it will depend if Alex throws the caution to the wind out the window. Because he just looked hesitant the first the fight and made Ankalaev look like a very high level striker.

 

[RoyJonesJr]

Momentum & Age is on Anks side


Alex won't get it done

 

[YourBoss]

Alex by KO. He has to throw and he will throw. This fight is ending via KO either way but i slightly favor Alex to find Anks chin.

 

[rjmbrd]

It depends who you ask...

If you ask anybody who is neutral and has no horse in the race, they’ll tell you that Alex had norovirus shortly before the fight and that his wrist was injured — both legitimate reasons why he wasn’t performing well, and which also explain why he threw so few punches. Thus, he lost a close 2-3 because he was compromised. In this case he has a good shot and could win the fight.

If you ask the Ank fans, who like him because they share the same cultural background, they’ll say that Alex lost a super-dominant, emasculating 2-3 and that his injuries don’t count. Injuries only matter (in this case even double) if you're a -mov or -ov and lose your title shot against a machine like Merab. So, Aleks has no chance to win and Ank will son him a second time.

This is hilarious (well done) and absolutely does have some truth to it around here.

However I think its also worth noting Alex is 38 and aging out. I have no doubt he can go out there and compete, but IMO the best Alex is behind us. He posts a lot of S&C videos on Instagram stories and he's looking his age.

I think Ank wins more convincingly out strikes him and possibly finish in the later rounds.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Axel was nullified completely and im afrad nothing gonna be different this time
sad times for lhw, mma gods left this division

If you think that fight was someone getting "nullified completely" you haven't been watching the sport long enough. Half of media cards gave the fight to Alex, he stuffed 12/12 and Ank did little to nothing with control in later rounds losing the 5th.
GSP vs Koscheck 2 is someone being completely nullified in a title fight.

Whoever watching the sport long enough and saw the fight would never give it to Alex, so bringing up nonsense that some clowns gave it to Alex is straight forward intellectual disability.
I mean, how you even came up with the idea to back up your opinion with "because media told me so". When a teacher in class asks you what is "2+2?" do you say "5, FOX news reported that yesterday", thats how it works?

Ok, have you even considered atleast, whom you refer to? Everyone on the list you talk about is a reporter (not a ref, not a judge, not a commissioner, not a former mma athlete, etc), a person with no qualification in mma. Its the same as asking for healthcare advice from a stranger, because he's been around some doctors and have a couple of doctor friends.

The whole conversation with you is pointless since "Some people gave the fight to Alex, thats why it <insert anything>" but lets go through the list of influencers your opinions are based on just for lulz:

• Danny Segura, MMAJunkie.com. This person advocates for one of the biggest robberies in the sport.

• Damien Bartonek, Fox West Texas. Google cant give me anything coherent with "Damien Bartonek mma articles" but this link is where it turns out that the man is an expert in every sport
• Dayne Fox, Sherdog. Dunno who is visiting sherdogs main/newspage but it turns out there is some "high professional journalism" there discussing McGregors and WhiteHouse UFC event as a serious thing worthy of people who would think Alex won vs. Ank
• Jake Noecker, Home of Fight. One year of reporting. Kinda strange referring to this person considering you've said about "watching sport long enough", but I guess venting up emotions and putting lables on your opponent is more important rather than being factually correct.
• Nolan King, MMAJunkie.com. Sherdog shockologist type of reporter.
  
  
• Zane Simon, The MMA Vivisection. Reporter, podcaster, creator of facebook 14y.o. girl lifechanging quotes and believer that "UFC/MMA is dying"
• Matthew Wells, MMAJunkie.com. Expert among all combat sports, including professional wrestling (WWE)
• Alexander K. Lee, MMAFighting.com. Reporter. Apart from classic "At this <event> happened <this>", likes to lurk fighter's social medias and represents their content as news articles. Conors genitals discusser

Great people, qualified experts. Nuff said.

Ok, but it was so close that if Alex won it'd be fair too. And he fought with Norovirus. Big Ank is getting it back with fresh Alex. Maybe even a TKO in round 1 like vs Hill.

But I think it'd be a 50-45 Alex Pereira... Winning all rounds

 

[Streeter]

Will Pereria let hands go? Does he still have a chin that can take shots ? Roundtree hits harder than or at least as hard as Ank and he took that but not as well as while not "rocked" you could see he was feeling it . Maybe its juat time has worn his chin and he was trying to play safe .

This time its a KO either way. Pereria might play footsie for a round bit he will start firing by 2nd imo . Putting on a snoozer like last time is worse to him I think than losing i think . If his chin is somewhat in tact Pereria will win a fire fight. If his chins just toast then Ank gets a KO via his speed advantage.

 

[NoSmilez]

I think same result. Alex isn't going to get better.

 

[flektarn]

Tough to say. He's gotta be confident in his TDD. Just can't get held up against the cage for an entire round and lose the decision because of it. I think he sits down on some kicks harder this time. Still a tossup who wins it though.

 

[Cheese_&_mma_lover]

Poatan cannot beat Ank. its impossible, Ank figured out Poatan's game, that's why Poatan froze and became completely mentally broken.

In the next fight Poatan will have 2 options, be mentally broken and freeze again. Or swing on Ank knowing Ank already downloaded his timing and will KO him instantly. If it was my choice i would rather be KO'd then go 5 rounds mentally broken, that's too humiliating. It will be really interesting to see what Poatan decides to do.

 

[Poatan Power]

Anyone can get caught, but Alex's wrestling couldn't have gone any better last time stuffing takedowns. Unless he lands a great shot (which can always happen), going to be difficult to do better as Alex gets older.

 

[r-harper-1]

Ankalaev wins a more comfortable decision

 

[Luffy]

I told you all!!!
