can't believe anyone is actually looking forward to this fight. usman is going to blow him straight into bolivia, no point in even showing it. serra lightning don't strike twice.
usman was kicking his ass, he was absolutely handling him. the cards weren't even close. the only way that fight goes leon's way is if usman goes all AA and gets totally gunshy from the KO, and even then he can probably still steal a decision.Leon is the much better striker and will not gas the same way. Getting shadow realm'd the way Usman did changes you also.. there are a lot of layers to that.
Usman was winning but not exactly an ass kicking. Leon won the first easily and then just seemed stuck in the mud. Usman did his thing with the wrestling but he didn't beat Leon up. If Leon can fight like he did in the first and Usman is forced to fight more than just wrestle it could be a great fight.usman was kicking his ass, he was absolutely handling him. the cards weren't even close. the only way that fight goes leon's way is if usman goes all AA and gets totally gunshy from the KO, and even then he can probably still steal a decision.
i dunno. i don't want to use the term 'lucky shot' but it kinda was. i can't see usman getting caught like that again if he's being cautious, and i can't see leon taking 3 rounds. but then again i was completely ass-backwards on my prediction last night so who knows.Usman was winning but not exactly an ass kicking.

Lucky that is connected and ended the fight in one shot. Definitely something he trained for and intended. KO aside the Leon in the first round will be a tough fight for Usman or anybody. No idea why he shit the bed from the 2nd round on? I literally turned off the fight out of frustration with Leon seconds before the KO. Was shocked in the morning.i dunno. i don't want to use the term 'lucky shot' but it kinda was. i can't see usman getting caught like that again if he's being cautious, and i can't see leon taking 3 rounds. but then again i was completely ass-backwards on my prediction last night so who knows.
Yeah saying it was lucky is being disingenuous, but I don’t believe that is something Leon can replicate whereas Usmans path to victory is quite clear.i dunno. i don't want to use the term 'lucky shot' but it kinda was. i can't see usman getting caught like that again if he's being cautious, and i can't see leon taking 3 rounds. but then again i was completely ass-backwards on my prediction last night so who knows.
that's why i hesitated to use it. but training for a kick and actually landing it in the fight are very different things. it took him til the fourth round to land it. and now unless usman is crazy he'll be studying tape like mad and making sure it doesn't happen again. i still say easy UD for usman. a good first round is not an entire fight and that's going to be really hard for leon to do for 25 mins.Yeah saying it was lucky is being disingenuous, but I don’t believe that is something Leon can replicate whereas Usmans path to victory is quite clear.
Edwards is the best 170 pounder in the world right now. Yes I'm including Shavkat and Khamzat in that.
We are going to see Edwards dominate every round like round 1 of the last fight now that the fight isn't taking place at high altitude.
Usman may get a few foot stomps in but other than that he's getting 50-45ed or slept again.
