170lbking Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hardy needed a few more fights before tangling with GSP. I think people are forgetting Hardy’s terrible performance against Swick…personally I wasn’t impressed at all. Hardy had Swick on weak legs standing up and was trying to constantly take him down. It was a huge error on his part. Swick whom is super overrated as it is, had him scared for no reason. GSP has already won the fight if the Dan Hardy who fought Swick shows up.

Martino231 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Dan Hardy impressed a lot of people in that fight. Almost everyone on this forum thought that Swick was gonna get a fairly routine first round (T)KO. As for the takedowns, I agree that that was a mistake on Dan's part. My only guess is that he was trying to demonstrate some sort of ground game by taking Swick down, or just trying to get him to the place where he thought him to be most vulnerable. Either way, IF (and thats a pretty big 'if') Dan manages to get GSP rocked on Saturday then I'd expect to see him dive in and show the kind of killer instinct that we saw in his pre-UFC days. He doesn't need to prove himself on the ground now, and taking GSP down is only gonna take the fight away from where Dan wants it. I don't think he can finish GSP, but his best chance at doing so is to dive in and go for broke if the opportunity arises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you dont like Hardy, so are unable to make a reasoned comment. how was he terrible against Swick? when was the last time Swick has ever been rocked? 2004 against Leben, thats when. And why did Swick have weak legs like you say? cos he got rocked by Hardy iron fists after underestimating his power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inferno33 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 After this fight on March 27th GSP will look up at all the fans cheering his name, look back at an exhausted Hardy and say.... I'm not impressed by your performance, then walk out the cage with the welterweight belt. If Dan Hardy wins I'm going to cry:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardy could have finished Swick and regrets not doing so in interviews i read he saw when he had swick rocked but didnt want to charge and finish the fight seeing that swick has K.O. power.

Why on earth would you be Anti-Hardy based on what some numbnuts says on a public forum? I would never ever change my opinion about a fighter based on their fans, thats truly pathetic. GSP, BJ and Brock all have some delusional tools for fans, but I have never lost an ounce of respect for any of those fighters. And while I will be cheering for Hardy, in any other fight I will always back GSP, maybe not against Daley, but virtually anyone else, he will have my support, and he has some of the most annoying n ut hugging fans in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean Hardy? The only time I cheer for someone to get beat up is when I have a genuine dislike of the fighter, it doesnt happen often and its normally based on them having a crappy attitude, or having cheated like Chris Leben or Koscheck. I am not a fan of Matt Hughes, dudesjust arrogant to me, but I do respect his ability. Frank Trigg is way too ****y and never had the talent to back up his mammoth ego, and dislking Tito really needs no explanation. But elaborate on your point, I didnt really get what you mean...

On_point Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 See it's this type of post that gets me anti-Hardy. Hardy couldn't even finish Swick what makes you so certain he can finish GSP? Because, "Dan Hardy's stand up is "perfect" (Dana White)!" Hahahaha, albeit his striking is not horrible, this remark is a gross overstatement of Dan's striking ability and clearly a poor tactic used by Dana to try and hype the possibility of him knocking out GSP. Pre fight arguments will do nothing to determine what goes down Saturday night, but I think any knowledgeable MMA fan knows that GSP has the overwhelming likelihood of taking this fight, it is his to lose.

Are you more likely go cheer for or against said fighter. More likely to cheer against him. Its rare that a fighter gets a hype train behind him without a big KO, or stunning performance. I would like to see Brock lose, mainly thats due to the fact that I cant stand him as a person, but his fans do seem to be a bit delusional as well. Basically, any fighter can have intelligent, reasonable fans and just as many nuthugging idiots who cant accept any criticism towards their hero. Case in point being alot of GSP's fans. Of course I think GSP is the favourite, with good reason. But for some reason, I just get the feeling that he will get beat against Hardy. I think GSPs recent opponents have been too gunshy and given him too much respect in the ring, I can see Hardy doing that and I can see the upset happening in the 2nd round. But hey, if GSP wins, I wont be shocked, not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
