Strikforce - Props to Silva
« on: February 12, 2011, 09:24:12 PM »
Stop crying bitches ,give this man his props , he dominated.

5. Fedor Emelianenko vs Antonio Silva in a Quarterfinal Fight in the Strikeforce World Grand Prix Heavyweight Tournament

Round One: Fedor came out swinging for the fences in the opening twenty seconds of the fight throwing his famous overhand right. Silva seemed tentative in the opening minute and looked to counter strike. At 1:10 Silva clinched Fedor up against the cage and leaned on him, using his approximate fifty pound fight-time weight differential to his advantage. Referee Dan Miragliotta forced the fighters to separate due to a lack of action with 3:20 left in the fight.

Following the separation, Fedor began throwing wild punching combinations that he did not seem to set up, just a ready-set-throw type mentality. Very strange for a fighter who has been touted as the best in the world and very cerebral. Silva answered the combos by Fedor with some big counter punches to the head. Silva again pressed Fedor up against the cage with 2:25 remaining. Silva was more active so that the ref would not step in and break them up quickly like he did earlier in the round.

With 1:50 left in the round, Silva attempted to lift up Fedor and slam him down but was unable to due to Fedor having a standing guillotine choke applied. The submission hold led to Silva being the one to be taken down. Fedor immediately jumped to half guard on top of Silva. Silva attempted to lock in a heel lock from his back but was unable to cinch it in, but did cause Fedor to get back to his feet. Fedor again jumped to half guard.

With a minute left, Fedor landed a half a dozen punches before attempting a kimura that he was unable to lock in and both fighters were back on their feet with fifty-five seconds left. Silva again pressed Fedor back up against the cage and leaned on him. With twenty seconds left, Silva backed off, got the better of Fedor in a punching exchange, and scored a takedown with ten seconds left, closing out the round on top of Fedor.

do you think it was the the reach advantage which lead to silva keeping a good distance that saved him in the first? couldnt really see if anything connected

saved might be the wrong word but you understand, Potentially saved

Fedor was swinging away and Silva punched him right in the mug, Fedor stepped back and was like WTF? I think that was a changing point in the confidence.

His boxing  technique is better than Fedor's  ,Fedor is faster an unpredictable but wild and sloppy. I think if they fight again it could go the other way.

Im thinking it might have connected if silva wasn't so damn far away due to knowing that he could reach him even from a distance

I wish I had longer reach =(

do you know any boxers with normal if not even "bad" reach?

Yeah but when you're swinging away and a dude comes in between your shots and hits you in the face? LOL That's "shocking" to say the least.

calling it quits is probably a good thing now, there is no point in continueing and beating up lesser opponents (which im sure he still can without a problem)

fedor has been in the fighting game for a LONG ass time. People forget hes been competing and dominating in sambo since 1997.


...would be cool to se him at 202 just for the heck of it lol.

I agree we will never see another HW fighter win that many times in a row without losing...but unless he's made enough $ to last him and his kids the rest off there lives then he should fight for as long as he can still compete...
