Trollsmasher Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Source: Tim Boetsch not underestimating Constantinos Philippou heading into UFC 155 Anybody giving Philippou a chance on this one? I don't see him having the TDD to stop Boetsch. Were does Boetsch go after a victory over Philippou? schedule against Weidman again? Lombard rematch? Belfort vs. Bisping winner?

NeckCrank Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 how is anyone counting costa out? he is one of the most under rated fighters in the division. so yeah, a win over costa does big things for boetsch. a win for boetsch puts him fighting for number one contender and a w for costa puts him against winner of bisping/belfort for number one.... or belcher of course.

Manho Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Man, Tim B. is way over his head on this one. C.P. is just gonna knock him out cold. Tim should have every reason not to underestimate him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaksame Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 This will be an identical crap fight as the Lombard one,Boestch should easily win. Phillapou is definitely a counter striker,he does not initialize or engage,Boestch when facing Lombard,showed he was afraid,so i see the same,maybe both fighters just stand and look at each other all fight. There is one difference Tim should know Phillapou will offer him no threat in the clinch,so he really should initiate but somehow i doubt it,might be a snooze fest until someone commits and makes a mistake.

Jbrahams Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Costa is going to prove that Boetsch is overrated and that he is underrated and win this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapped2strikes Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I like Costa, but he also irritates me with how hesitant he is sometimes. It's not that he should swing wildly and end up crapping to strikes like Canderlei, but he really needs to engage more often than he does. If he doesn't keep pressure on Boetsch, then he's gonna get smothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
