Jiri vs Jamahal Should've Been 5 Rounds

[jitzmonkey]

What is this about Hill that everyone thinks he's going to win by KO? Was it beating old man Glover or KO'ing glass chin Johnny Walker? Legitimately curious.

He has very quick snappy punches.
Jiri's style makes him very hittable.
If I had to put money on one outcome, that would be toward the top of the list.

I get the odds seem to favor this fight not going the distance but seems like it would really solidify the spot.

I would hate for this fight to go 3 rounds and leave us wishing for 2 more because it's a close fight.

I think Hill wins this fight. Jiri is hittable and over-rated. Hill has power and is fully healed now from the achilles tear.

Thoughts?

I agree this fight would be better as a 5-rounder. I think Jiri gets it done before the bell so it might not matter. If Hill uses magic then I could see it going the distance or even Hill winning the fight.

This doesn't feel like it should be a title eliminator, so 5 is a big ask for this fight.

3 5 rounders on the main card is probably not a good idea.

I suppose we will see but Jiri's only been KO'd by the current champion so I don't know if that's a correct way to gauge him being glass chinned.

Hill seems like is not there mentally
Will get finish in the first imo

 

[SalvadorAllende]

This fight is not going to distance. Both guys are damaged goods since Pereira starched them.

I think Hill wins since he does not train touchbutt in Japan and does not defend punches with his forehead.

But rooting for Jiri via life altering KO.

The new Sherdog layout is crazy

 

[mkess101]

Everyone seems convinced this won't go the distance (except TS I guess) but guys coming off KO losses are often more gunshy than normal and that applies to both guys here. I wouldn't at all be surprised if this surprises a lot of people and has less action than expected and it hits the cards.

I get what your saying but relax guy, this fight ain't going 5 rds.

It just ain't.

I'm fine with it being 3 rounds. We might be getting too many 5 round non-title, non-main events.

A 5 round fight changes the way the fighters fight. They have to pace themselves to last 5 rounds. 3 rounds means they can be more aggressive and have a higher pace.
