Title: Wow, Karo vs. Diego
Post by: *ChuteBoxe* on August 17, 2006, 11:20:47 PM
What an effing war, I don't really like Diego all that much but damn, he made a fan out of me tonight. Hat's off to him and Karo for a damn entertaining fight, and a potential fight of the year.

Yeah he won.  I cant believe it.. its like this kid cant lose.  I did enjoy the few times Karo was able to use some judo throws on him.  Karo just didnt have diego's conditioning.

Not a big fan of either guys.  I will say that Karo has some slick judo throws, but he didn't capitalize on them really.  Diego was fast last night, he really countered those throws and actually got into more dominent positions.  He did a couple of submission attempts, got the better of gnp, and he did knock one of Karo's teeth out!

Like him or not,,,Diego has cat like reflexes,,it's instinct for him, to get out of any situation that might get him submitted!? 

 He's definitely a threat!

 He deserves to be where he is! Awesome fghter!

He has my respect after last night.... im actually looking forward to his title shot.  Has anyone gone undefeated with that many fights under thier belt gone strait up to win a title shot?

I never really liked him ... but he showed great skills with an impressive performance last night!

dont get me wrong, i still think he's a cocky guy ... a wannabe Tito trying to mad-dogg Karo at the weigh-in!  :P i think he scared my cat! haha

Yes folks just like in BB the hardest worker/thinker wins. simple formula but few follow it ;)
Deagos cocky, but hey what young guy isnt? You might as well hate Arnold he was cocky too.
Bad trait but after u get knocked down a few pegs, it gets fixed!

Gsp,Diego and Karo are all under 25 years old, which is pretty young considering they all easily make the top 5 in their weight class.  Hughes has a target on his head and I hope GSP pulls the trigger on hiss ass this time.  Plus, with Jon Fitch and Bj Penn in the mix, there are still some interesting match ups to be made.  I can't wait.

The whole fight is on youtube. It's in three parts.

Aside from those uchi-matas by Karo, Diego dominated every aspect of the fight. He outstruck and out grappled Karo, and his conditioning was sick. Very impressive.

After he watches the tape of the fight,  I'll bet Diego will be working on his uchi-mata counters. He landed flat on his head after one of them.

He's still a border jumping bean head but he showed he's made HUGE improvments in his overall game, especially stand up.

I was very impressed with Sanchez. His conditioning was on point and it was the difference in the fight, no question.

I don't think he's good enough to beat either Hughes, Penn, or GSP......yet.

I'm not much of a Diego fan, but I give him props for his performance.  Definately a great fight...plus I loved the knee to the grill in round 3  ;D

Fantastic fight!  Too bad someone had to lose.  I wish it were a five rounder.
