Pettis v Barboza

[kappaz]

I have been calling for this fight on Sherdog/Twitter since 2013. It is finally happening and it's about fucking time.

This was my reaction when I first read the news.

this is gon be pettis' comeback party. Barboza has a weak chin, it'll be exposed

Something tells me it won't live up to the hype that Sherdog has thought of.

Barboza wins

 

[tommi462]

Looking forward to this one a lot.

I was on here yesterday and in the thread called is UFC 200 going to be a big disappointment I said this fight is the best thing the both fighters, it will be a good fight and at the moment I think it goes all 3 rounds and maybe Pettis win via decision.

 

[Henghist]

This bout stylistically leans towards Edson but I won't be surprised to see AP win it.

Barboza is never in boring fights,

and Pettis is never in boring stand up fights.

I don't think this one is possible to be boring.

 

[Walker Smith Jr]

I believe Pettis finishes him.

Showtime's kryptonite is strong, pressuring wrestler/boxer. Barboza is none of that. When Anthony finds his range no one can stop him.

 

[Andy Anderson]

Pettis should spend his time on tdd and fight a wrestler instead. I don't want to see him waste his on time on another striker.

 

[Steveston]

It's interesting because the cat is out of the bag on how to defeat Pettis and it's pressure.
Pettis has two loses in a row his confidence isn't going to be as high as normal coming into this fight.

LMFAO

 

[Mike JV]

Fuck yes. Should be an amazing fight.

 

[MCS]

Their styles can't make this boring. This will be awesome.

Thing is you could say exactly the same thing about Barboza. This fight is gonna be nuts. Honestly as a Pettis fan I hope he uses his grappling. Or Barboza decides to try an ill advised takedown again lol.

 

[frandie2b]

You beat Barboza by pressuring him. I don't think Pettis has that style.

 

[ApplesVild]

Where would a third loss leave Pettis?

 

[reigning terroe]

As Bart Scott would say, "Can't Wait!"

 

[BokaBokte]

Meh, Pettis will get injured.
