StephenColbert Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I think that they should have Alves fight either Ellenberger or the loser of Shields vs Kampmann but hey what do I know. anyway, I think that Thiago will knock him out early second. should be a pretty exciting fight though.

I_MC Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 yeah they both have good power but Alves seems to be more of the wrecking machine. Yeah he's coming to win, he's got 2 losses in a row. Both guys coming off losses. Should be an exciting fight!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnoTTonY Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hopefully Alves makes weight this time, Dana was getting pretty pissed about it with the FItch fight. Anyways I see the fight ending in the late second, early third TKO via strikes after Alves knocks Howard down with the Clinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martino231 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I think people are assuming that Alves will walk this fight just because Howard isn't a huge name. The guy has some great Muay Thai skills and the thing that's been holding him back in his career is his lack of ground game. I see this being a competitive fight although I do see Alves's striking eventually being too technical and diverse for Howard to handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 5 WW fights a guy who might be in the top 20? Jake Ellenberger beat John Howard yet I promise Jake Ellenberger won't get an opponent even close to Thiago Alves caliber and Thiago Alves deserves a higher ranked opponent. That being said it should be a great fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
