 Sonny - Let’s dig in deep on the sole title fight on the card. Murska Mfer - the reigning, defending, and unbeaten champion of the Bellicose open weight division puts his perfect record on the line versus Arthur “The Hound” Douglas. Both of these men come into each fight with the pure intention of decapitation of their opponent. Equally matched in boxing and a very close give-and-take in the Mui Thai and wrestling departments, this fight is a pick-em of heavy hitters.
Outlaw - It should be noted that Mfer wanted this fight. He actually asked for a fight against some of the available top talent in the Heavyweight division as he's practically run through the best the Super Heavyweight has to offer. This man has been unstoppable, and he's hungry for more. Douglas did not hesitate in the challenge, so this should be an all out war and I'm very excited to see how it turns out.
Sonny - In what could be the deciding factor in an equally matched fight you have to notice that Murska will occasionally grab a takedown and submit his opponent. He will have the purple to blue advantage in the belt department so this seem a viable option again here.
Outlaw - No doubt, he definitely will want to throw out his full arsenal in this one as the longer you stay on your feet, anything could happen against another power hitter. But I expect Douglas to be prepared for that and look to keep this standing. Honestly, this should be one hell of a slobber knocker.
Sonny - However, it seems recently Murska would prefer a clinch beat down to takedowns lately so that is very well where we may see this fight go, stay, and be decided.
Outlaw - Good point. He Mfer may have the clinch advantage here, but I know the management team of Douglas and they are no stranger to the clinch game. Douglas has done well to avoid the clinch, but do not be surprised if he's fully prepared to go to war in the clinch.
Sonny - The challenger is the absolutely deadly Arthur “The Hound” Douglas. Arthur comes in solely focused on taking home a head as his trophy. Deadly KO power, and flexibility within his game plans will be his keys to victory as he looks to take over the largest throne and n the Bellicose stage. Some say Arthur has kept his true abilities somewhat mysterious. His gym mates claim the man has nasty clinch work but simply prefers to box because he is simply a warrior. Will he unleash the dirty boxing finally or is it a non-option for the boxing specialist? Secondly, and may be more important, can he stop the takedown and the oppressive smothering from the excessively large Mfer? Nobody wants 300 pounds of a sweaty Fin slathering him all night so let’s assume Arthur has been touching up on his takedown defense accordingly.
Outlaw - You mention the size advantage of Mfer. This is something he would be able to use in the clinch or on the ground. However, Douglas will have the speed advantage so look for him to dance around a bit and land big shots when they present themselves. I fully expect the first round to be more of a feeling out process as these guys test each others range and game plan, but as the round goes on, the action will pick up and this fight will be toe to toe until someone falls like a felled tree.
Sonny - Let’s get to my pick and make it official. Murska Mfer can and should take the fight to the clinch and lean for the TKO victory. this main event. Can Douglas claim the KO before Mfer has his way? He absolutely can but since I have to pick I’m going with the Mfer by KO in round 2.
Outlaw - I'm with you here. All the credit in the world to Douglas for stepping up for this one. And no doubt he's got a chance here, but I can't go against the proven 8-0 record of the champ here. The one thing I can say about this fight that I'm absolutely sure of is that it will not go the distance.
Sonny - One thing’s for sure - we will be treated to a hell of a fight with a probable KO finish so sit back and enjoy!
