Anybody else think Amanda is going to destroy Kayla?

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Kayla can’t fucking box

Kayla Harrison is Juliana Pena on the feet, I feel like it will be as flukey of a win if Harrison wins as it was when Pena won.

Ketlen Vieira isn’t some world renowned striker and she was kinda beating Kayla’s ass on the feet if you go rewatch that fight. Kayla is extremely basic when she strikes and she doesn’t move her head, plus she has a tough weight cut everyday.

If Nunes isn’t washed and is laser focused I feel Amanda is going to knock her the fuck out.

Pena beat Nunes up and made her quit. How exactly was that a "fluke"?

 

[Fergelmince]

I think it goes exactly like Harrison vs pena went

 

[Langinbang187]

I'm assuming she will be a favorite

 

[Neck&Neck]

The only thing destroying Kayla is the weight cut

 

[whocares]

It almost seems too obvious that Nunes is going to rock her shit. If they're standing for a round or two, what else is supposed to happen?

I dont know, but man fighting a woman (even if she is built like a Bork Lestner) is not fair

Hang on which one is the man?

Nunes can grapple a little bit. She has been retired for a while now. I think the ring rust will be too much.

 

[volcom5]

Is this bout really happening? and why? combat sports retirements are retarded, i can’t take any fighter serious when they claim it.

With that said, i think Kayla beats Nunes handily, her grappling is adequate but Kayla has adapted her skillset pretty flawlessly into MMA & being not only retired but practically domesticated is going to be factor. Nunez hasn’t fought too many grapplers especially a strong one like Kayla.

Amanda's 37 and been sat out two years, with how active Kayla's been I don't like Amanda in this one.

 

[Blastbeat]

If this was five years ago, Amanda all day.
But after sitting out for the past few years in retirement, i dont know. Especially because I remember an interview with her before her last fight where she said she was having trouble with her nerves in her legs that made it hard to kick. If thats still the case, this could be big trouble for Amanda.
Then again, Kayla hasnt been hit by anyone who can hit as hard as Amanda. Gotta see how she reacts to the power.
I am looking at this fight as a 50/50. Kayla could pull it off if Amanda has lost a step.

 

[Harlekin]

Factor in:
Kayla will be better next time, because she started 10 years after Nunes.
She is old at 35, but still improving, thx to Costa's juice, too. And at a great gym.

Amanda is 37, past prime and has been out for 2 years.
Of course her right hand hits heavy, she could catch her coming in.
Her cardio should be sus these days though.


Why am I discussing wmma? There is a local amateur boxing match in my town way more skill involved.
Both guys at 135 would knock out Amanda and Kayla right after the other in a boxing/kick/thai/burmese match in 1 round. Let's discuss that.

 

[Ginja_Ninja]

Don't care and can't see myself even watching this one.

I am not all against wmma but I don't watch it for the same reason as males.

If I am watching female martial arts I am looking to see some beauty and finesse to technique that the males can't pull off.

Girls like Kayla have killed it for me. I do not give a shit who is the biggest butchiest woman. Let them both retire

 

[Kal-El]

Prime Amanda, sure.

Now? Kayla will Judofuck her

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Nicole Bass v2 gets KO'ed

 

[Dionysian]

Tell me the last time that a once-elite retired person came back to beat an elite-active person.

Hint: Gane and Bisping weren't elite. Never been done to my knowledge. Jon would have lost to Tom as well. Kayla would likely win vs Amanda.

Nunes is the favourite I’d imagine but i wouldn’t put Kayla out of the picture.

Hopefully she isn’t dumb enough to stand with Amanda like Honda and i believe that Kayla is superior on the ground.

I think it’s a toss up but either have the capability to do a shutout.

 

[GoodBadHBK]

Im a Nunes fan and I think shes going to get destroyed. Hope she wins but I dont see her stopping Kayla from taking her down.
