Manho Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Tod Duffee- What do you think of the guy?? the real deal?? a serious contender for the HW division title shot and give Brock a run for his money?? Or he's just another flash in the pan who just had a taste of his 15 min. of fame. Your thoughts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwillsubmit Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 he has the build to go with brock, but you can really get a guage on him on that fight other then he has cement in his fists. line him up against 2 top 10 HW over the next 6 months and see from there, i thought hague was gonna be a good test for his first UFC fight but i was dramatically wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavemanJesus Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Who knows Tim Hague was a gimme fight for Pat Barry, and Barry failed. Hague is just a big guy who couldn't take a shot. Maybe, after he beats someone with the caliber of Gabby(gonzaga). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerChamp Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 in my eyes, if he even wants to be on the ladder for contention, i expect to see more wins. i have not seen enough to believe this guy would have a chance, let alone even deserving to fight top 10 fighters. if it wasnt for that knockout, nobody would have heard of the guy, or would even consider giving him a shot at brock. guy needs to prove himself alot more. a quick 7 second knockout and being ****y about it against another bottom ranked fighter does not justify a title shot. i will wait till his next fight to comment. i bet he can't do it again.

Gojyo Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Too early to say probably. With a fight that lasts 7 seconds, you don't get to see very much of a fighter. How is Duffee's chin? can he take a punch well? How good is he on the ground? He's buffed, but can he fight on his back with a white gorilla laying ontop of him? Can he go the distance? Pretty obvious that there's far to many unanswered questions for a fighter with 5 fights. Offcource you can say the same about Lesner, but at least from him you got to see him wrestle against Couture, take on a black belt in Mir, and a slight stand up against Heath, so you got an indication at least. Not that there's much there. But when he get's his "lay on top off you" you DO know it's over. And using size and nullifieng an opponent is a viable tactic. On the other hand, you saw that Duffee can strike and strike hard (that or Hague's chin is butter). So what would a good solid punch of Duffee do to Lesner? We havn't seen much of those. When Mir did a flying knee to Lesner, Lesner just crumbled. So how good is Lesners chin? So i think we really should see more of both fighters. Although i would be immidiatly amped up for a Lesner vs Duffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStandard Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 id like to see him in some longer fights. he needs a good string of wins in the octogon before we really know what to expect from him. on paper he appears to be a knock out artist. the size of him alone is enough to warrant a little anticipation about his future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manho Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hmmm...Too many variables. He could be another Randy Couture or just another Mark Coleman, who knows. The former was not highly regarded when he started but now he holds the record for the most title won. The latter started very strongly but now...Well, his record speaks for itself- not to mention his performance. Guess will just have to wait and find out.

slam72 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 He coulld be a heavyweight Houston Alexander who knows. The hyperbole has been a bit silly in the scramble to find somone anyone to beat Brock. Match him sensibly and steadily increase the competition and see. 2 more fights then put him in with a Heath Herring type opponent then if he comes through match him top 10. 4 fights away from a proper judgement imo.

craigdcan1406050570 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Well....he has a good jab! haha. There's not really much else to say at this point. To even mention 'title shot' is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he's just another flash in the pan who just had a taste of his 15 min. of fame. Your thoughts... First off, we need to see at least 3-4 more fights with this guy to make any clear call. Certainly he looks gifted, and definitely mean. I would throw it out there that this guy is pretty jacked for a 260 lb man. This is a little suspect. I'm thinking HGH (which is literally untestable). Either way, he should make for some interesting fights. I'd like to see him fight the loser of CroCop/Dos Santos or possibly Gabe Gonzaga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rib Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 While entertaining that victory by Duffee really proves nothing other than he's got some massive power, which was to be expected by his massive build. Hopefully he continues to find success, any competition in the HW division is good competition. http://bumpyknuckle.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWW Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 He's stated he wants to fight Heath Herring next. If he wins that put against Napao and if he wins again. a top 5 fighter and then a shot. I would say 3 more maybe 4 fights if there quality fighters.

Whatever, I just want to see if he can hang with the best in the division before I say he is gonna be anything worth while. How about Herring? That would be a great test for him.

Billytk Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 He coulld be a heavyweight Houston Alexander who knows. This is what I was thinking as well, I hope he turns out to be the real deal because the HW's could use a fighter like this if he's for real but I'm not getting my hopes up just yet since Houston started out being labeled as potentially the next LHW champ ect. then got exposed in his next few fights and is basically a punchline now.
