Bader KO3.

I hope. I mean, we all know the two outcomes: Either Rumble knocks him out early, or Bader survives and wipes the mat with an exhausted Johnson. Bader's improvements as a fighter over the past two years are looked at as A) nonexistent, or B) something to joke about. A lot of young stars burst onto the scene, and they are who they are (Erick SIlva, anyone?), without changing from the skillset that got them in the door. Bader has put in work, and we've seen it.

I'm excited.

Interesting fight. I think Johnson starches him too, but Bader continues to surprise.
i'll give him credit on stepping up his game, but the second rumble gets him to flinch, or worse, its blitzkrieg time. even dc felt it, but his chin is so much better.

I'll do a SN name bet on Josh over Big Ben for any takers, I don't have money so not betting any.

I think Big Ben is going to beat Josh but I'm not confident enough to do a SN bet.

And I really, really hope that AJ starches Bader.

Bader has been KO'd by heavy handed guys in the past and I certainly wouldn't put his wrestling at the level as DC's. Rumble does have very good TD defence and I think the big factor here between the two is SPEEEEEED! Rumble is much quicker in all areas, My pick Rumble by KO in the first two rounds. But if he doesn't get the KO I still says he wins even if ny dec.

Reis is a crafty vet no doubt about that but I think he's well past his prime.

Ortiz wins 30-27

you could be right but Ortiz isn't better at anything than Reis imho...If reis gasses is only way I see him losing..
