Marcus beat Schilling 2x, beat Levin, beat Verlinden, beat Kaoklai, beat Valent, beat Vakhitov.
Now what about Bogdan? Best win? Zeyada?
Kaoklai was finished (you"re the guy who still thinks that Kraus is still a top kickboxer? or was it a Thai? well Kaoklai wasn"t even semi-expired, he was totally expired for the past years), Valent couldn"t beat Romanian Nedelcu by KO, Bogdan is much better than Alex, and Vakhitov was very young, at the start of his professional career and on a losing streak (I think you weren"t reading my lines). I don"t know what to say about Schilling, he"s unpredictable. Props for the win against Levin.
Zeyada and Sikking, but we"re not comparing them. Because I was for Marcus since long time ago and I"m happy that he joined Glory. Generally a bit untested, Marcus, yes. But I have the feeling he could be very good. I"m talking about Glory level. I wonder how will he handle on kickboxing rules?
Throw away your eastern-european glasses and face fuckin reality, please.
Tell me one top Romanian glass in martial arts! One. All who were KOed have tried to come back. Polish fighters are glasses indeed unfortunately, but you can"t say that about Romanians, Ukrainians and Russians.
Andrei Stoica doesn"t have glass chin, he was KOed twice but was never laying on the floor. He recovered but couldn"t continue due to dizziness. He was also training in MMA. Then Bogdan never got KOed in his career. Adegbuyi"s chin is indeed questionable but it might be because of the African gene.
The car crashing doesn't have nothing to do with his bad performences in his last 2 fights.
Yes, it has. He didn"t fight like an amateur before. He didn"t protect his liver last time. Sorry Trevor but this time I can"t share your opinion! I saw them in trainings. Bogdan is very fast, don"t watch his punching bag because you"re underrating his jab. Watch his fights for the jab analysis. His biggest power is in his hands actually, even though he"s unpredictable kickboxer who holds low kicks, axe kicks and has that movement. His problem is psychological since the accident. He"ll become one of the best Romanian kickboxers. He"s indeed on a bad track but can recover even if he loses here. Because he"s young. You talk about his defense but in his good days you can"t catch him. He hits flat indeed but this isn"t a problem because he"s very natural and mobile and doesn"t need to go toe-to-toe. You"re understimating his boxing big.
Both brothers are explosive but Bogdan is always mobile. Andrei should learn to protect his head better (Adegbuyi also had this problem) by not leaving holes and to put pressure always, to be agressive because he has this ability. His body is stronger, not just the back but also the legs.
Note that I"ve said that Andrei has only 35% chance against Ilunga, and not because he is inconstant because I knew he had improved and will come well prepared and solidly consistent, but because Danyo is tall and very strong.
Now I would say that if Bogdan manages to avoid Levin and even Verlinden (I don"t know what to expect from the Belgian but I know he"s experienced), he"ll make at least semifinals. I personally think Levin is the favorite.
