Elite XC (Shammy versus Baroni spoiler)
« on: June 23, 2007, 12:10:29 AM »
Frank's striking looked crisp.  He took it to Phil and got the easy win.  Too bad there isn't anyone out there that can give him a fight (outside of the UFC).  I can't wait to see the rematch with Renzo.  WTF happened to Bang?  Buentello might be headed back to the UFC.  Cung/Frank maybe the next big fight, but Cung needs a couple of tune up fights first.  Freak<Frank.  The Law versus Frank would be good.

Old Shammy looked decent, his punches were all down the pipe, and he was countering Baroni's jab beautifully.  That was the worst beating Ive ever seen baroni take.  Cung le, Im anxious to see how he does against an accomplished grappler, it's safe to say he has good stand up and take downs/take down defense (with his san shou, wrestling) but I want to see if he can carry himself on the ground.  It's good to have the old ninja back, he had me worried though with the way he would just charge straight in everytime he thought he tagged Joey.  Congrats to Buentello as well, I didn't think he would actually stand and bang with Carter.  Bang Ludwig, man this guy is the most un consistant fighter, he has all the tools but for some reason he just cant put them together.  I thought his switch to Jacksons submission would do him some good, hopefully he can bounce back and avoid becoming a journeyman- esque fighter.
Predictions
 40/61

I don't think Frank got an easy win,Frank took some damage also..He got caught several times,Phil was just to exhausted(and beaten) to finish..

It is being reported that Frank had a torn ACL, and tore his MCL sparring with Soku on 06/11.  He was riding a motorized cart around, and couldn't do cardio the last two weeks.  Baroni also came in with a hernia.  Two tough SOBs.  Frank dominated him.

Maybe the switch to Jackson's did help and Semtex is just as good as the brits say he is.
