vasile Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 can any experts weigh in here? as a guy that hasnt seen much of fitch's fights, im not sure what to make of this. i hear that he uses his wrestling alot. does he like to keep guys on their back? if so, i think ben will be able to use his long legs and arms to save him from most damage from fitch, maybe ben could work subs of his back? would ben be able to win a stand up battle? i really love his long jab and he uses his height and reach great, and his knees and even better. will fitch have any of bens clinch or just take him down in the clinch? how do you honestly see this fight going?

uaquin Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 I like Saunders skill set for this fight. He definitely has the edge over Fitch standing and he has proven in the past he can submit people, including a triangle from his back. Fitch also likes the clinch game, that will not pay off for him at all in this fight. Killa B has a very good Muay Thai clinch, just ask Marcus Davis. Fitch is a dominant wrestler, but for once he is going to be fighting a guy just as big as he is. Ellenberger is a wrestling base so I'm assuming Ben was already training his TD defence.

That's why i am excited about this fight. Usually last minute replacement fights are horrible, but here we have two guys that were training for the exact style of fighter they end up facing.

GoToGuy Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Sauders has really surprised me on how he has goten so good. I thought Davis would reck him for sure. But Fitch, he might not be able to handle. I think Fitch wins this one and if he manages to beat Tiago again then he should be the real top contender to GSP's belt. GSP would win but it would still be good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So_Amazing Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Ben has the stand up but Fitch has the ground game, and Swick already was able to hold him down for quite a while. But I think Ben has gotten better since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
