Sandman9000 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2003 Solid column guys. When I do up my previews for the big CZW shows, I try to provide as much background and insight as you guys do for your MMA columns. One thing that slightly annoyed me is that it looked like John was doing all the work, and Dave merely chimed in with his two cents. It would have been great if you guys could have disagreed on a fight and debated back and forth, but maybe that's something for the future. And Dave, hope you don't mind, but I'm jackin' your sig. From one sXe'er to another, true til' death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HungryJack Report post Posted August 9, 2003 so much for the sig crackdown.... But anyhow, yea, I dug the column. With the inclusion of RRR, can a Smartkmarks MMA Crossface be far behind??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2003 I can see your point, but you gotta understand that there really can't be a major disagreement on this card. It's competitive enough that there could be an upset, but across-the-board MMA writers and experts have the same winners and losers. There will have to be an upset, cause there always is, and I tried to hint at that in the Jackson, Overeem and Rodriguez previews; but there are only so many bases you can cover I think I picked Sakuraba over Silva on another board as well. There's a few fights (eps. the Jackson one) that, as Dave said, your mind changes at the blink of an eye. I'm a bit saddened that DD didn't have more to say as well, because his previews (Pride 25 in particular) are awesome. But then again, I don't mind the rub from the veteran Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2003 And to add to that... Pride wants a certain semi-final on their next show. It's no coincidence that they gave the easiest fight to Yoshida, put the two strikers together (who would then most likely face uber-grappler Yoshida), put Jackson in there with a BTT member (if Silva beats Sak, Silva vs. Jackson or Chute Boxe vs, BTT, if Sak beats Silva its a Jackson rematch or Sak vs. Brazil). While Pride is a shoot organization, there is a way to book the matches.... to a point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
