HFC 28: Tripplet vs Will Wester
another BIG night expected here...with a wonderfull card put in place only for you,the best fans in the world....the mma world will be with their eyes in St Petersbourg ,where some of Russia best talents will display their skills....
This proud nation allways had her say in the world of warfare and thats what they all about down there,tough fighters with tremendows mental toughness and amazing skills...their ranks are filled with former russian army officers and their level of competivity is something to be admired.....let me share a little poem that sums it all up:
We rose at dawn,
When night crept close to day.
The wind that blew was fresh and light
and fitful,
A little briny and a little bitter.
As on an open palm the sea before us lay,
With fishing boats its surface strewn,
the advent
Of morning marking....
Under foam-washed boulders
(Quite large they were and black and sleek
and shiny),
Beneath dark sea-weed, butter-soft and slimy,
The bullheads moved their bulky tops, and twisted
Their narrow tails.
The ship to the horizon
Was firmly glued.
The sparkle of the rising
Sun hurt the eyes.
The contours of the misty
Shores were a trifle vague and undefined.
We`ll not surrender you, Odessa, city mine!
Let death walk every street;
With hoarse and choking sound,
Let homes in flame go up and topple to the ground.
Let acrid smoke eat at our eyes, let bread
Give off the smell of powder and of lead -
Odessa, city mine,
My friend and comrade true,
Odessa, city mine,
We`ll not surrender you!
NOW LET ME BREAK THE FIGHTS DOWN FOR YOU:
145 lbs Bruce Tripplet vs Leon Will Westernfield
This is our main event of the evening, a featherweight title fight with two contrasting styles...in one side we have the chalanger a very experienced amateur wrestler champion ,with ever improving striking skills and amzing determination to come back from two devastating KO that could have finish many fighterscarreers....
but across the cage there is the champion and hes looking in great shape allways improving and expanding hes game,but everyone knows that is hes boxing that worrys hes oponents ....he has some of the most devastating counter combinations that i ever seen,and we can expect some of that here again...it would be a shock to me if the champion looses the belt and the odds in the bookies reflect that.....
Prediction:Bruce Tripplet KO
185 lbs Oleg Nemkov vs Terrance Glanville
In this midlleweight bout we have two very diferent fighters seperated by culture ,age and skill set...the favourite, Oleg is a veteran for the promotion , hes a loyal servent and a wonderfull professional, hes record stands at 9-5,but 3 of those 5 losses were against hes arch rival Klimov....he comes here on a back of a loss but he opens up has the favourite for these one,and i can see why...in front of him,however,he has a very dangerous oponent in this young Jamaican, hes a pretty well rounded fighter for hes age and he keeps improving with every fight...he has a chance here to make a name for himself,beating a HFC legend would be hes next step on the road to hes main goal of achiving gold....i fancy the underdog on this one i think this young man atlecticism and KO power will make the diference....
Prediction: Terrance Glanville KO
170 lbs Paljas Uneksija vs Brian Jensen
Paljas is clearly the better striker of the two, he uses balaced agression and couter acurate combinations, he possesses some nasty leg kicks that he uses to take the speed out of hes oponents making them an easy and estactic prey....hes work rate is second to none and he adjusts very well to the fight conditions too...the only downfall i see here is hes ground game realy, but hes takedown defense is something any fighter would be proud to have and i will expect him to score another win here,he needs to be on hes toes thoe,across the cage stands a very dangerous oponent specialy if this fight goes to the ground, he normaly finishes the fight whenever he manages to take it to the matt,but he canot get careless here doing that,otherwise it could be over very quick....
Prediction: Paljas Uneksija TKO
265+ lbs Stefan Groenveld vs Evandro Guedes
This fight is the biggest miss match on the card Evandro is by far the best fighter and will be looking to make quick work of this fight...hes clinchwork is superb and hes athleticism is something to admire...he expects nothing else but a quick win here and will be desapointed if he canot finish the fight in the first round....hes oponent one and only hoope will be to pull guard and try to work submissions from that position without trying to escape or advance position, i guess the young Australian has a gigantic task in front of him but hey,this is mma ,6oz gloves so anything can happend....
Prediction: Evandro Guedes TKO
265 lbs Andrey Arlovski vs Baruch Yehuda
I have a feeling Yehuda wining streak will come to an end here,and i think that will happend in spectacular fashion....hes up against a "veteran" compared with him,besides that he holds advantages in every aspect of the game and comes here determined to win as allways...i think he will be looking to take hes time and set the head kick whenever they standing....he will be countering with the clinch and probably try to pin hes oponent against the fence and work some elbows and knees....i can see this fight going to the distance but Andrey will probably get the nod based on hes experience.....
Prediction: Andrey Arlovski Decision
Rest of the card picks:
265 lbs Andwele Rashid Mposi- TKO
145 lbs Kid Cudi - Decision
185 lbs Myles Draiman - KO
145 lbs Ruslan Anara - Decision
265 lbs Ivan Drago - TKO
искусство войны
What an exiting card i cant wait for it to come around, Me , Markov and the rest of the crew wish you alll the best luck and preparation for this glorious event....
