Steve Cantwell is a great bet on 8/3

Here's a link to download the first fight if anyone wants to see it:

Cantwell will destroy Stann if it goes to the ground and Cantwell's striking is excellent as well. Stann is just a tough son of a bitch but he's not the overall fighter that Cantwell is. At 3-1 or better, Cantwell can hang here.

The first fight had an illegal punch by Stann to the back of Cantwell's head that the ref didn't notice. Shouldn't have ended so quick. Cantwell takes the rematch.

Thanks for the vid. I don't think enough people actually bother to watch tapes when capping fights. I know for sure some of people making the lines don't (at least for the smaller cards).

 

[JohnnieC]

I thought the first fight was stopped too soon. I do lean towards Cantwell here slightly, but the bad thing IMO is that he's pretty much going to have finish Stann because with Stann's popularity there is no way Cantwell is winning a decision here.

 

[sphincter]

i have no opinion here....but,all due respect,what makes you think cantwell destroys stann?...

i don`t particularly like stann....he seems totally one dimensional....and if cantwell`s stupid enough to stand with him,imo,he`ll get k.o.`ed again....

has there been an interview or some information or source that might indicate that cantwell`s smart enough to realize that?....

not being contrary...i`d love to grab some of that +310 meself...just need some rationale..


thanks...

 

[sphincter]

just saw that you said,"will destroy stann if it goes to the ground"...

my bad....:howdy:

i may hop a ride on cantwell and hope his mma i.q. is high enough to understand what`s necessary to give him the best chance at success...

I doubt Cantwell destroys him but he'll have chances to get the win. He's a good fighter who can strike with most guys and has a better ground game than Stann. Just a more rounded fighter and at 3-1, it's the easy bet.

i hear you....and it won`t cost much at 3-1 for me to tag along....

easy bet, huh? when have we eve seen Stann's ground game? I hope you're right because I'd like to see Cantwell get the win, I just don't see anything easy about it.

 

[JohnnieC]

wouldn't be too suprised to see Stann get poked in the eye at some point in this fight either.

Cantwell is good, and the better overall fighter, and he has improved alot from the first fight, but stanns power will proply result in the same outcome..

your betting on the fact you think cantwell can take stann down, your betting on an unproven commodity, have you ever seen Stann get taken down? from what I have seen it won't be that easy...

The improved Cantwell will be stanns tuffest fight to date no doubt, and 3-1 is great value, but there really isn't any value in a loser, becuase I believe Stann can keep this up right, and power will trump skill in this match.

if I HAD to bet, i would bet cantwell....I'm not betting, so I'll root on cantwell for ya'll.

Easy = logical. Easy choice is what I meant.

 

[terpkeg]

just watched an interview with cantwell and he said he plans to bang on the feet. however, i would think he isnt going to give any gameplan away in a pre-fight interview.

 

[JakeT.]

Just got home. 1-1 and some profit so far. Got Cantwell as a big dog left.

 

[JakeT.]

Cantwell was winning round one but that slip with 30 seconds left probably cost him the round thanks to Stann capitalizing with some ground and pound. First round goes to Stann. I have a feeling scorecards won't matter much. Cantwell looking good though.

 

[JoshKnows46]

I scored that round 10-9 cantwell...I believe he won that one.

 

[JakeT.]

Cantwell KO!!!!!!~

 

[JakeT.]

I scored that round 10-9 cantwell...I believe he won that one.

It was close and pretty hard to score considering it wasn't a takedown that got Cantwell down but Stann did pound on him pretty solid for 15 seconds or so.

Lol WINNER WINNER!

Stann loses by exhaustion. Cantwell looked awesome with the wide variety of striking. Great call and we all win

:toast:

Any chance you think Miura has any chance against Condit? I don't really see any way he wins. Has some good judo/sambo but Condit is so awesome off his back. He also punches pretty hard but Condit has never been KO'd... 5 rounds, you have to figure Condit can sink in something and get the sub. I don't think I'm playing it either way unless you have some info on this one.

Cantwell whooped the fuck out of him...congrats to Cantwell

Very nice prediction Jake :toast:
