Pereira is 37 years old, I predict Rountree will knock him out

[justmark]

Just like he did to Gokhan Saki, which was one the best kickboxers ever too. At 37 and with a long kickboxing career behind, I feel rountree will be too fast for Alex. This is a bad match-up for Pereira, especially at his age. At the end of the day, Izzy might actually have the last laugh.

Khalil Rountree is 34 years old.

I predict Alex Pereira will knock him out.

34 is not 37. At LHW 34 is prime. Also, not only is Rountree younger, but he doesn't have a long kickboxing career behind.

I think this can be a challenge for Alex for the first 3 minutes.

 

[Gabe]

It’s certainly possible but I’m not betting against Alex here.

 

[sdpdude9]

I like both but would love a Rountree win. I just love an underdog and he seems like a really good dude. Think Pereira sleeps him though.

 

[burningspear]

if rountree goes psycho curb stomp mode, he has a chance

Rowntree lost to Marcin Prachnio.

I predicted Poatan will knock him out.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Anything is possible in the fight game.

Rountree has big power and a decent arsenal.

But he also got flatlined by Johnny Walker, so he better not take one on the chin from Poatan or he's going sleepy time.

 

[emefer]

Alex will take him down and submit him.

 

[Tweak896]

If anyone at LHW is going to take Pereira out on the feet, it'll be Rountree. This is a very dangerous fight for Pereira to take. I think it will be interesting how he handle's the power.

 

[JoeRowe]

Blachowicz & Glover were champions much later than 37. LHW isn't LW-and-below

 

[swizztony]

Roundtree sucks, he got pieced up by Prachnio

 

[Neck&Neck]

Crazier things have happened
But I think Left Hook Larry will bag another one

34 is not 37.

Well you've got a point there.

Better put a hat over it or they'll arrest ya.

 

[SirRealKiller]

Pereira is 37 but he's still by far the better striker than Rountree. Rountree ain't young either. I think Roundtree is going to have to try to bully Pereira and make it a dirty boxing sort of match to have any chance.

 

[sonhow]

My prediction?

34-37 is one of the worst age gaps in mma statistically. ( i remember reading this in the build up to masvidal vs colby)

This is true. If you look at pretty much every combat sport, it is around 35-36 that fighters start getting out of prime at higher weight classes. There are some exceptions, but that's the norm. At lower weight classes, it happens a bit sooner though.
