Fedor v Rogers

[Nameless]

the only advantage Rogers has over Fedor is a bit more power on the knuckle but that is it.

Thats all he will need

I really doubt so, he survived Cro Cop devastating attacks and survived, we don't know how, the suplex of the suplex from K Randelmannnn, Roger will need that, luck and God on his side to earn anything at all as Fedor beats him fair and square in every other aspects of the game.

Someone who can basicly just box well, throw proper punches, someone whos actually got balance and is aggressive and put punches together well would wipe the floor with %99 of mma, Rogers has a very good boxing technique, he is supposed to have good wrestling, kicks and take down defence as well but I think he wins with his punches alone.

If someone as sloppy as Liddell could make a career out of just punching in mma, Rogers deffinitly will and Fedor cant handle boxing, he needed Arlovski to jump in the air and give him his glass chin on a plate, that didnt prove Fedors power, just how stupid Arlovski is, Andre was having a very comfortable with Fedor up to that point using basic boxing, Rogers walked through Arlovski like he wasnt there

I think we have the makings of sig bet going on here.

Ross there is no shortage of MMA fighters with reasonable boxing experience.

Yosuke Nishijima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This guy as you can see actually held some smaller cruiserweight belts and a decent record...5 MMA fights....5 Losses, 1 K1 fight.....1 K1 loss
Boxing is a part of MMA but great boxing does not equate to beating 99% of MMA fighters.

Well, shit boxing from Lidell kept him head and shoulders above a lot of second rate fighters like Ortiz and Silva, until someone with good boxing themsleves put him to sleep

Well thats one opinion. Boxing and MMA striking are apple and oranges. Being a great boxer does not in and of itself make one a great Striker and vice versa. You might as well be comparing a fast pitch softball pitcher and MLB pitcher. Same end result but completely different. Chuck much like Hughes, Tito, Coleman and others didn't continue to evolve as a fighter and he got old. His chin isn't as solid, his timing and reflexes are not as quick but more importantly he has simply been figured out. Rashad/Rampage/Shogun all pressed him but waited for him to throw first then countered. Chuck fights pretty well moving backwards but only as a counterpuncher. In his prime he is an MMA ATG and his resume of beaten foes speaks for its self. and Wanderlie as second rate? Seriously maybe you should check out some Pride footage. So do we have a sig bet? If Rogers doesn't KO Fedor I pick your sig for a month and vice versa.

That will be my prize for being right I was hoping there were going to be some big odds in this fight, seeing as though Fedor should be an overwhelming favourite, I wanted to put some cash on but only if its worth it, I think Rogers is like 5 to 1 which wont make me a fortune, I was hoping like 20 to 1 and up

That is just one example. In most cases people who come into mma fights with one skill end up loosing to the more experienced fighters with many skills.
