ArtieBanks Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Yeah, I'll be happy if Diego Bustamante doesn't get KO'd before gassing and comes away with at least as many wins as losses. Stand up is where Giacomo is most dangerous but if he goes against an aggressive ground guy, I can see Giacomo losing by GnP or Submission. That is if the fight goes to the ground Giacomo's fights will last approximately 3 minutes per fight. The last time he fought an aggressive ground guy it got to the second round and he was taken down once at the end of the round, that just pissed him off and he decided to beat the living shite out of him for doing it.

Honestly though, if he's been taken down before, someone with a really good ground guy could take him down and punish him with GnP. His BJJ is suspect, a purple belt entering this tournament is a sign there's a weakness to be exploited there. I am interested in seeing how he does, if he gets the fights he wants or if nobody can score points after they get him to the ground, he could really be one of the favourites for the HW individuals. You haven't lost with him either, if he loses at the very start and he has terrible confidence, that could be him fucked the rest of the tournament.

Severn has a fully equipped ground game and despite my lack of chin. I have beaten Dinooo's granite chin/KO power guy w/ Lin before who also popped determined and had 0 KO power. Dinooo will fall to 1-9 against me and then go on to win the individual tournament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortfuse122829 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 By predicting we're going to finish last, we've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. I'm pretty sure my guy Diego Bustamante is the weakest fighter in the tournament so if anything my guy is the most likely one to lose all of his fights not potter09's fighter You will be well on your way to 0-10 after this first week. I am anxious to see who you get to lose too first if you guys ever make your picks. Don't think too hard, it's going to be pretty brutal for you guys either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think too hard, it's going to be pretty brutal for you guys either way I think you're underestimating some of our fighters, especially after your first two picks... Edit I could say first three picks because we don't even have a say in the final WW fight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poraan Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Perala looks underskilled but it is Jorma we are talking about so i'd assume his seconds are mostly at the elite level First secondaries, then primaries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBK16 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Fuck me that was a hell of a scouting report Dino. It does seem like Kicks is a big difference among some of the fighters, with those lacking them at an immediate disadvantage. Hopefully the majority will go with some of the advice you gave and make this competition even more competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit I could say first three picks because we don't even have a say in the final WW fight It's not about under-estimating anybody. Those picks were purely match-ups. I put a very developed striker with a great wrestling game (Gatsby) against a 1 dimensional striker. I put more of a grappling specialist in Hartlock against a fighter who has a big striking advantage and also a very complete ground game including submissions in Whitaker jr so he should be fine no matter where the fight takes place. The 3rd fight put Listerman's fighter who popped good confidence and already has 4 KO losses against a fighter who popped KO power. By making the picks I made I also secured the fact that we would decide the match-making in 5 fights compared to you only having a say in 2 fights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be a brown belt with sens dgrap, sens escapes and sens transtions by the time the tournament rolls around. His confidence could be awful, it still wouldn't help your poor guy once he gets his mits on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
