Whys Jim Miller fighting Bobby Green?

[rjmbrd]

Jim is the better overall fighter with more skills and more ways to win.

Bobby is still more athletic and powerful. Neither of these guys can compete with top 10 opponents.

Its not really a mismatch.

I wanted some bum for Jim to starch but I dont think it's a mismatch. I do favor Green but not by a lot. I am a fan of both guys so I dont really think I am biased.

Miller could chop up the legs a bit and if he can get takedowns I think he has a good shot at cobtrolling or a sub. Bobby has bwtter boxing and if it stays at his range throughout I think he could box up Miller for a decision. I think that is the most likely scenario but not the only one.


Imo 60/40 or maybe 65/35 Green, far from a squash match even if I'd have preferred a gimme for Jim at 300.

If Bobby and Jim fought before Greens last knockout loss not many would be complaining. It was a bad knockout though, so I can see Green looking fragile in there

 

[Iroh]

Some people forget some fighters like to face a challenge and not necessarily face a lay up.

 

[Safton]

I initially gave Miller little more than a puncher's chance against a diminished Green on the assumption Bobby would outbox and school him... but the more I think about it, the more I think that his fight is somewhat competitive. I would even go so far as to say that I think this fight is more winnable for Miller on-paper than Matt Brown or Felder would have been (depending on what state Paul came back in).

 

[r-harper-1]

Miller vs Green is a good competitive fight imo

 

[KORNBR3AD]

Nah, this is a good fight and should be exciting.

 

[Van Daz]

One of the worse mismatches I've seen in a while

Seems a bit strange, but it's a last minute match up. Should be a win for Jim, which is great. Wonder if it's Jim's last fight?

I'd rather see him fight Matt Brown.

Yeah, I"m not sure why that's such a mismatch. Brown is even older than Miller. He may be bigger, but he got finished on his feet by a declining Cerrone years ago. Brown was also the last win for both Jake Ellenberger and Carlos Condit--two more fighters who were in clear decline when they beat him.

 

[mkt]

Who else can Miller fight? Maybe Ferguson? Paddy? He already beat Clay Guida a few years ago--they're about the same age.

It's great to see Miller still winning fights but his fights againt lower-level, no-name journeymen is getting old. Let's see him go out in a fight with someone who hasn't been on the prelims their entire career.

Green is a step up, but he's also past his best days and just got brutally finished. You never know how a fighter comes back after something like that.

hes gonna td and wrestlefuck bobby to oblivion and win a boring dec

Is Miller's wrestling that good? I think Green is probably the better wrestler of the two, though Miller is better as submission.

 

[LindyBrah]

This is a dumb argument, he was knocked out by Dober and Turner.

Now he's fighting 40 years old Jim Miller.

He was also very competitive with Dober, who has been a top 15 mainstay for a few years, until the KO. Grant Dawson may have been overranked, but Green completely knocking the number 10 guy riding a 9 fight unbeaten streak out of the rankings is very impressive given his age and mileage.

Yeah millet is old, it should’ve been tony

 

[mkt]

Yeah millet is old, it should’ve been tony

At 37, Bobby isn't exactly a spring chicken either.

 

[xn7]

It is as good of matchup as any.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

probably a combination of no one willing, and a win over either helps.

 

[Luckyme]

This would have a been a great fight had Bobby not gotten viciously KOed by Jalin Turner only a month ago and then afterwards pummelled while unconscious.

He needed to take at least a year off to let his brain heal before fighting again.

 

[Spath]

You don’t see Jim Miller handing a beating to Ferguson of today? It’s a great match up between two vets. A-10 deserved a bigger fight for 300 to close out a great career. Green has had one more peak in his long career, surprising everyone by knocking out Dawson and getting ranked. Then he got KO’d, yeah.


It’s a good fight and not a mismatch at all. Hespect to both guys, most of all to Jim ”F-king” Miller!

Why the fuck not?

Mismatch for which one?
