Sherbro predicts the rise of Tom Aspinall, 2015

[Ares Black]

I stumbled across this thread over in the Worldwide Discussion and I thought it deserved some Heavies respect.

Props to @Wololo, he nailed it.

Thread 'This guy is the future of the HW division'

Mar 17, 2015

Tom Aspinall, 20 years old, 9-0 as an amateur, 2-0 as a pro so far, legit killer, remember the name. You'll be seeing him a lot in the future.

The Aspinall era is going to be special.

He is gonna do great things.


Right after he is the backup for Jones vs Stipe 2 at MSG in November 2025.

Relatively easy to spot heavyweight prospects compared to other divisions, they just have to be athletic and not morbidly obese.
People were also hyped about Gane when he only had 3 MMA fight.

As good a call as I've seen around here

I was on the Gane Train when he was 2-0 after he beat the hell out of a Canadian prospect I had been keeping an eye on. Adam Dyczka was the best Canadian HW prospect and after Gane destroyed him he never fought MMA again.

I had a different account at the time, but I made a similar prediction in 2022 after the first Volkov fight- I made a thread asking why there wasn't more hype around Tom because he looked dominant.

Of course the response on Sherdog was- WTF are you talking about, he's a nobody, he doesn't deserve hype because he will never be that good. I believe I was called delusional multiple times in that thread, lol

Rightfully so, he looked like an absolute anomaly.
Well done Wololo if you're not Tom, great call. I guess even better if you are Tom.

That Wololo is obviously a friend of Rogan, you won't fool me

 

[Cooliox]

Gotta give respect where respect is due

Well done Wololo

Jones is not getting the big December PPV this year?

Don’t people always say this kind of thing about prospects that look good getting off the bus with an undefeated record? There’s 100 such prophecies about Gane, Morales, Umar, etc. Occasionally, one of them will be correct.

Sure, but downplaying it only works if it's the SAME people hyping all the prospects up. If a poster doesn’t do it except for one guy and he hits a home run the one time he swings...that's pretty fucking impressive.

Not sure if this poster hyped other guys or not, seems to be a Brit that had specific insight into Aspinall.

Yes, but this one IS correct.

That's kinda the point TBH.

How did you "stumble" on a 10 year old thread though? Ya damn gravedigger

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Wololo was always my friend . Nice call
