Title: Sanchez v. Stevenson
Post by: coltrane on February 17, 2009, 08:08:39 AM
WHo wins?

I give the edge to Sanchez due to aggression..  but Joe Daddy will be a tough foe imo.  I could see it either way actually..  Stevensons fought some tough dudes...  yes losing to a few, but the experience is there...

what do you guys think?

stevenson and diego are equal imo on the ground,i give the takedown edge to daddy,standing its fairly even also but daddys striking has gotten crisper.i think daddy is gonna catch him in a choke while deigos laying on top of him in his guard in the 3rd round.deigo is just to cocky for my taste,he needs a to take a chill pill,he acts like a street thug gang member.not the type of guy we need representing our great sport

my thoughts as well.  He acts as if something is owed to him.  And all the meditation hooplah?  Come on...

I hope stevenson nails him!

I appreciate Diego's intensity and how seriously he takes his fighting.  I think that often gets misinterpreted for cockiness.  As for the meditation, that's awesome.  You have to get into a right frame of mind and come to grips with what may or may not happen in that cage.  Meditation/visualization is a great way to do it.

This fight is a tough call.  Daddy is on a losing streak and this is do or die for him.  Diego needs to prove himself at 155.  Both are hungry.  Both have similar skill levels.
