@StonedLemur @TheMMAnalyst Thank you for the kind words Sherbros. I really appreciate it. I adore examining the nitty-gritty of stylistic match-ups and oftentimes that enthusiasm comes across as a need to put my thoughts into words on a screen... I'm just glad to see that my deluded ramblings found an audience that thinks they're halfway worthwhile.
It's very possible, especially in five rounds. But he was getting dominated bad by the superior wrestling, physicality, and positional grappling of Vieira in their fight until Rodolfo gassed. I think Khamzat is a better wrestler still and has slightly better cardio than Rodolfo whilst also being able hold his own in the striking. I don't know if he could finish Anthony (but I wouldn't put it past him), but banking some early rounds and then coasting? Yeah I think he is capable.
I'd favor Khamzat to gas hard against Anthony. A Mexican chin, cardio, and wrestling? Come on now.
