Paulo Costa is a terrible match up for Israel and will KO him stiff

[Deleted member 546119]

Israel's point striking will not work on a tank such as Costa, he is going to get walked down and left-hooked KO'd in 2 rounds

Costa is underrated, he has great cardio, strong chin and solid boxing technique. He will easily walk Israel down and catch him with a punch when Israel decides to trade and stop point fighting

@D 1 Wrestler, you and @Hitto have something in common..




Izzy picks him apart at range.. Costa even struggled to get past Hall's jab, and was nearly dropped in the process..
Can't see him pressuring Israel without getting consistently tagged.

GOD I hope so

And what's even more impressive is he's completely NATURAL.

Hiw many people has get legit ko'ed?

 

[JabToucher]

Didn't loads of people say his last two opponents would do that?

 

[AmericanMMA]

I don't think so, but anything can happen.

If you stand still in front of him yes you’ll get knocked out.
Uriah Hall wrote to book on how to beat Costa with teh Jab.

Dumb. Costa has to win in round 1 or else he's going to get humiliated for the rest of the fight

Israel counters Costa and finishes him round 2/3.

Israel will become one of the biggest names in the sport starting 2020.

Romero is 50% alien for sure.

I was gonna ask, who has he ko'd stiff? lol

Just checked his record and only one win is listed as a ko the rest ko wins are tkos.

The gifs are desceiving, since those guys are static targets.
It remains to be seen if Israel will be able to keep his distance.
If Paulo can walk him down, he's in trouble and will probably sleep early. But if he does (keep his distance), Paulo may be the one in trouble...

Filthy lies

...Costa is underrated, he has great cardio...

 

[Mahkor]

Stylebender is gonna make it look easy.

 

[Krushey]

Paulo has to hit him first.

Izzy is elusive.

Those t-rex hulk arms will tire out within a few rounds of whiffin air.

I can't count how many posts here on sherdog have been made stating that Stylebenders last 3-4 opponents were terrible match ups for him
