Gilbert Mendez vs. Eddie Avarez

[TheGreenMachine]

Who you guys got in this one? Since both have pretty much the same style, its pretty hard to tell. Im taking Gil I guess since he has a more aggresive style and doesnt get rocked as much as Ed does.

Thoughts?

bump

Id take eddie he has more power and is a proven finisher gil is more of a grinder but he can out work eddie for a dec of eddie finishes him. Their styles play an advantage to eddie imo as I don't see gil being able to use his smash mouth style to out point eddie and gets koed or tapped

 

[Tyler51**]

Also im bias toward eddie as I find him much more exciting.to watch and all the gil nuthuggers kind a make me dislike him also his personality does that az well

 

[mercwithamouth]

I think gil takes it in a 5 rounder, alvarez if 3

 

[EvoTheGamer]

That would be an awesome fight. Hopefully they fight each other for the title someday. I'd lean towards Alvarez because of his great tdd

 

[SODACKER]

Gil I think finishes him. Eddie is just too easy to hit.

He is but he's also showed a great chin and when has gil showed the power ti stop someone like eddie?

I think Gil has more ways to win. I can see him mixing things up and using a lot of takedowns to grind out a decisive win. I think Eddie's a game opponent and has a good chance of catching Melendez on the way in with a power punch or knee. I still hope they fight each other for their first UFC fights.

I think Gil takes it with a TKO but you never know with return from the dead Alvarez. :icon_chee

 

[bootsy]

Alvarez gets rocked every fight and Gil will take him out if that happens...

Melendez will get an immediate title shot and Alvarez should get the winner of cowboy/ pettis.

Kawajiri.

Acceptable but don't think its enough to think gil can finish alveres.

 

[therealcthegr81]

Melendez takes it in my opinion... not the fight i wanna see though

Gilbert Melendez & Eddie Alvarez

c'mon bro.

 

[SODACKER]

Acceptable but don't think its enough to think gil can finish alveres.

Alveres has a good chin but is far from unfinishable. He hasn't found a guy as dangerous and well round as gil since Chandler and I think gil is a step above Chandler.

 

[Tyler51**]

I can see where your coming from soda but I this k they are on par or maybe chandler really just had a good night either way that's right trio of fights id like to see go down

 

[Neck Crank]

El Nino fo sho on this one. Eddie gets dropped in every fight. I see Gil dropping him a few times and grinding out a decision...

 

[sloter21]

Tough one...id be rooting for eddie but i think gil takes it.

 

[Edwin]

Tough to call, but has the chance to be a good fight and one a lot of fans have been wanting to see and I think Alvarez would be able to beat Melendez by decision.
