Derek wants it to be MMA but Palumbo is calling for Boxing to make it somewhat even, I actually already did the science and it would take 20secs for DA to win in MMA and 45secs for Boxing. It's tooooo eazzy!
I don't know the skill level of either one of these guys but if I was gonna fight someone I knew nothing about, which is basically what's happening here, I don't know what type of training either one of these guys have I'd spend almost all of my free time working on my conditioning. I've heard-I don't remember where that derik is taking boxing lessons to get ready for this, I think it was in one of his rants, let's see, he's got what 2 months? I really don't know much about what's going on but that's a decent amount of time to get in some lessons, once he learns to punch and gets his conditioning down it should all be good, that goes for TA too, conditioning, conditioning, conditioning. If I were Derik I'd push for MMA cause that's where his advantage is, what does TA know about fighting? I honestly don't know.
That vid of derik shows he's pretty damn volitile, I don't know if he can harness that hate and use it to his advantage or not, they need to put a pic of TA on a heavy bag and have someone stand behind it and say "strike me down with all of your hate" like the evil sith lord said to Luke in Return of the Jedi...
