Lombard boxing is explosive and vicious. Also, his kicks are decent. He is also the only man who outstriking/outboxing gegard mousasi. His wrestling is not that good as sonnen's, but his boxing and ko power will make his TD's more dangerous. I think he is the only man to beat anderson. What do you think about this?
Lambard throws nothing but sloppy loopy punches Anderson would kill the midget with fast punches down the middle
Anderson would pick him apart and avoid his shots,watch the palhares fight his boxing doesnt look all that any decent counterpuncher would give him fits.
An Anderson straight right with laser precision fired down the middle when Lombard is swinging those Rocky style looping lefts. Night night, mr Lombard. Would look a lot like the leben fight IMO.
His footwork is not nearly fast enough. I think it would look like the Leben fight. I think he should fight Vitor or Boetsch next.
Anderson via being a tall counter-punching genius vs haymaker man with short hands. I like Lombard BTW. I think Palhares would be more of a threat because if he got Spider leg in his hands... Not much of a threat though.
On the ground is where I think Lombard would have his best chances against Anderson, and he might be able to finish him there or edge out a decision if his cardio allows for it. Lombard isn't too technical standing, but he swings with such incredible speed and power that I wouldn't be surprised if he could put Anderson on his butt or maybe even finish him (isn't it a great deal harder to roll with punches if they come with blinding speed?). Anderson is matrix, though, he's the clear favorite no matter how you bend it. He's just proven that so many times now.
There were still times when he was standing completely flat-foot still... great punching power but an easy target for someone like Anderson Silva imo..
Lombard will demolish Anderson Silva. Look for Anderson to begin the ducking process after Lombard's next win. Claims that he's not a big enough name etc.
