aylib Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Should be interesting, as Romero is on a roll. Wonder if Kennedy thinks he deserves a higher profile opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Kennedy's cardio vs Romero's strength. Should be good if Romero can stop Kennedy from smothering him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCRaven Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Kennedy's cardio vs Romero's strength. Should be good if Romero can stop Kennedy from smothering him Romero has beaten Cael Sanderson 2 or 3 times he was an Olympic wrestler for Cuba, Kennedy has no advantanges in this fight he is gonna get destroyed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aylib Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Id put my money on Kennedy, in fact, I 'll take a bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I can see Kennedy eventually overwhelming Romero with a severe case of blanket hugging. Then again, it's only a three rounder, so maybe Romero has enough tank to put him in his place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyosullivan Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 The longer the fight lasts, the better chance Kennedy has in winning the fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Romero wins too but I can see Kennedy grinding him down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Romero has beaten Cael Sanderson 2 or 3 times he was an Olympic wrestler for Cuba, Kennedy has no advantanges in this fight he is gonna get destroyed Whilst that is likely, Romero has been taken down by lesser people, Brunson and i think Markes did as well, the thing is he is good at punching and wrestling but he has trouble mixing them up so when he's in punching mode he isnt as effective to stop TD's. It was only in his last fight vs Tavares where he mixed it up nicely but Tavares didnt really pose a threat for the takedowns. I want Romero to knock that smug look of Kennedy's face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramirez Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 hope Romero wins, Kennedys smug face winds me up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalifaxUndead Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Dont like Kennedy that much but Romero gave up a couple takedowns against Brunson which makes me nervous against a tough conditioned grinder like Kennedy. Romero is a beast and ill be pulling for him though he has huge power and crazy wrestling when he uses it like against Tavares he just has a tendency to not be worried about getting taken down because he likes to throw big shots and he knows he can get back up but against Tim that could be his downfall.
