Romero is gonna KO Whittaker and become champion in Jun 9. Agree or Disagree?

[Kung Fu bb]

I like Whittaker very much and he´s a very tough guy. He is a bad match for all the grapplers in the division with his excellent tdd, footwork and striking.
But imo Romero lacked that killer instinct in the 1st fight and he spent too much energy trying to take Whittaker down (obviously he didn´t expect Whittaker's tdd to be that good and stop all the td). I think he´s gonna correct that mistake and try to pressure Bobby a little more to finish the fight on the feet this time before the 5th round.

Maybe.

So, now that he's gonna spend less energy by trying to take him down, is he gonna strike with him? Cuz I don't see him having the advantage there.

Agree to disagree.

 

[fiftywattmafia]

True or False. Yoel after beating Teh Reaper he gives him soft kisses as well.

 

[binny]

Hard to say. This is a very exciting rematch and both guys aren't far at all from cementing themselves as all time greats in the division.

I pick Bobby but Yoel can land shots that no one can recover from.

 

[Gabe]

Romero can shut the lights out on anyone but Whittaker is the better striker with a very good chin. I think he will finish Romero this time.

 

[lakersfan45]

U are half right. He will ko Whittaker but will miss weight and not be a title shot

 

[BenRichards]

Bobby with two legs finishes yoel

 

[beephin]

Whittaker with two knees is a monster and puts on another great performance.

Expect to hear, "ANNNNNNNND STILL!"

 

[DarkneT]

I think he will this time

Who knows how that injury has messed Rob up?

Can't be as bad as him fighting on one leg, which is how he beat Yoel the first time.

 

[MMAProfessional]

I think Romero could take this one. Not sure why he wasn't confident in his standup and tried taking him down the whole fight.

 

[90 50]

Opposite I think.

I see Bobby knuckles koing Yoel this time.

 

[theTKDguy]

Romero can shut anyone's lights out at any moment. I think rob is the better fighter but it's a close fight.

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

I haven't made up my mind yet, but I'm feeling like no, he won't. Whittaker retains.

Absolutely incorrect

 

[D'z]

Though this fight is tough to call. And is a good match-up. I find it difficult to get excited for. *shrugs*

 

[KingBeef]

Double KO sets up the trilogy. Luke gets saltier and Weidman waits longer while the division passes him up.

 

[binny]

I think he will this time

For sure the biggest question mark on this matchup. It's hard to know who'd win even if Rob is 100%. Really hoping we get this fight under the best circumstances.
