Anthony Pettis vs. Edson Barboza Added to UFC 197 (Poll)

[CountOfSoCal]

How? He got rocked by a JAB, yes a Jab by Cowboy. And he's getting rocked every fight.

Once again, look at my other reply to him.

Every fight? No. He didn't.

I kinda wana go for Barboza but he doesn't have the style that the ones who beat Pettis have.

You speak as if a well placed jab isn't the most effective punch in the sport.

 

[Kenji Tomiki]

This is either a flash ko for Pettis or a brutal ko for Barboza.

 

[LHWBelt]

Ufc 197 is loaded

DC vs Jones
DJ vs Cejudo
Pettis vs Barboza
Lewis vs Nelson
Whittaker vs Natal
Penn vs ????

Ohhh shit didn't realize Lewis/Nelson and Penn were on this card. I heard it was stacked and looked and I was like I wana see Jones/DC 2 bad and Pettis/Barboza's the shit but the rest underwhelmed me. Not a fan of mightymouse and think Whittaker going to stomp Natal. Lewis/Nelson is awesome though.

Watch Barboza shoot and fail double legs to a decision victory, wouldn't that be a laugh.

Pettis shows why he's special again. Showtime via KO.

 

[phys_therapy]

Both are great strikers and great athletes, but I see Barboza trying to pressure Pettis (copy what RDA did), Pettis likely catching him and winning by submission.

 

[mbach4307]

Holy shit. 197 is fucking on point right now. Come on Jon, just avoid the law

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Ill take Edson. This is a good matchup for him.

He is composed and have some good defense. Pettis is not catching him with something and I feel Edson is better all around striker.

 

[The real JG]

I'm assuming Pettis loses as his main training partner Punk is injured?

 

[Arkridge]

Ill take Edson. This is a good matchup for him.

He is composed and have some good defense. Pettis is not catching him with something and I feel Edson is better all around striker.

I would say Barboza has the opposite of good defense. His striking defense is his biggest weakness imo.

 

[DyinHawaiian]

Would love to see Barboza finally win a top fight and give Pettis a third straight loss.

But that glass jaw probably fails him.

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Pettis via submission would be my guess but I'm rooting for Barboza and hope he wins.

Barboza via UD
