10 Thoughts on Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Masvidal

Posted in Boxing classes | December 18th, 2011

1. Shawn M. Smith – KJ Noons reacted good to his unequivocally initial two-fight losing streak. In fact, he looked like a male dynamic not to come out and scent a corner up, though something was missing. Gone was a boxing-focused warrior that we’d all come to know. After being ripped adult by Jorge Masvidal, he apparently indispensable to enhance his repertoire, that he did tonight. You could contend that he came by in a clutch, though really, it was a matter of Billy Evangelista carrying no answers. Honestly, overacting aside, Noons looked crook and deserved this win.

2. Shawn M. Smith – Cris Cyborg scares me. The ref could have finished that quarrel earlier and no one would have been upset. Also, as a pointer that a UFC announcers “get it” when Ranallo and Co. don’t? They pronounced a blocking was premature. Seriously? Look during Hiroko Yamanaka’s face. She was relieved not to die.

3. Chris Roberts – Now that Gilbert Melendez is Strikeforce’s climax jewel/indentured menial his need to win this quarrel was positively not as forked as it was a month ago when he suspicion he was on a verge of a UFC pretension shot. Still he came out and valid because he is a tip 10 bruise for bruise man winning Jorge Masvidal winning each turn solely for one on one judge’s scorecard.

4. Shawn M. Smith – Good quarrel by Melendez in a categorical event. we wouldn’t design anything reduction from him. He’s one of a best in a universe and what we unequivocally consider he needs is some-more competition. He done a good striker in Jorge Masvidal looks like an amateur. That stunk. we had Masvidal winning here during a Inside Fights HQ betting pool, notwithstanding what we pronounced on a uncover on Wednesday.

5. Chris Roberts – Then in an act of perfect futility he stopped his shameless corporate shilling to entice a UFC champ to step into his hexagon and urge his title. I’m all for some-more MMA on TV and so gripping Strikeforce alive isn’t a misfortune thing ever though if this kind of nauseous difficulty is going to be a by product of it all afterwards things could get genuine gnarled around here rather quickly.

6. Shawn M. Smith- Agreed, foolish pierce for Gil to call out UFC lightweights. Sure, a multiplication competence be built around a world, though do we unequivocally consider that violence on a bits of a UFC would make we demeanour good? Defend your “hexagon” and suffer your money. You’re a one who sealed adult for this new deal.

7. Chris Roberts – The uncover itself did substantially leave a small to be preferred as a 4 quarrel categorical label saw 3 blow outs and usually one finish. The finish, a 16 second plate of chagrin served adult by Cris Cyborg was a indeterminate one though my feeling is if we have to wish for a late-ish arbitrate blocking in a name of party afterwards we substantially aren’t examination a good show.

8. Chris Roberts – Interesting news entrance out of a prelims was a fact that rising star Justin Wilcox also suffered a lightning quick stoppage, this one during a hands of Caros Fodor in a camber of usually 13 seconds. Of march this is presumably a final label we will have to watch though entrance to a prelims as starting with a label in 3 weeks they will all be promote on Showtime Extreme.

9. Shawn M. Smith – Gegard Mousasi. Gegard Mousasi. If a announcers weren’t screwing adult a diction of Ovince St. Preux’s name (no matter how tough we try, he won’t unexpected apropos Georges St-Pierre even if we wish it), there wasn’t most to see. It wasn’t bad, though save for a occasional Strikeforce Challengers card, we had no reason to contend that we had seen a best from OSP. He has high intensity if he can get his kickboxing in line with his wrestling and increases his distinguished overall, now that we consider about it – he only needs to improve, he’ll be better. For now, keep him on Showtime’s smaller shows and get him prepared for Primetime.

10. Chris Roberts – If job Ovince St. Preux wasn’t inherently sore adequate we were treated to initial palm examples of because it is only an all around bad idea. One mixed occasions a announce group tripped over their difference referring to him as possibly “GSP” or “St. Pierre.” Plus all a references to one of a biggest fighters was frequency adequate to forestall Gegard Mousasi from mauling him here tonight.
