Souza vs. Boetsch

This is the official discussion thread for Souza vs. Boetsch. Let's see what you've got.

I don't see Boetsch having a style that will be tough for Souza at all. Boetsch could pull off the shocking upset, but it would be very shocking indeed. 

A late fight rally like in his upset win over Okami is unlikely.  Jacare is a better striker and if he takes Boetsch down, he'll have Boetsch tapping inside 2 minutes. 

If Boestch wins, it's cause he goes all barbarian early in the fight before Jacare gets anything going.  Just think about Boetsch's fight with Luke Rockhold. This won't be much different.

tim is on a nice little upswing, but jacare is a top dog. arm triangle like camozzi 1.

but I think Boetsch could win this fight if he is carefull.

He has power in both hands and decent takedown defense, so I think he can knock out the aging Souza Inside 2 rounds.

I think Tim is gonna surprise everyone, I could be wrong but I just got that feeling.

Boetsch has a chance because of his power, but still gotta take jacare, also tim isn't too good against submission fighters. 

hey you just copy m'I picture

I don't know man, i mean his picture is black and white, so im incline to believe you copy him  ;)

I agree with everyone. Jacare has absolutely no chance here. Honestly the worst match-up for Jacare. I mean Jacare is an alright fighter but Tim Boetsch is just on another level everywhere.

In the first two rounds, Tim Boetsch absolutely gets destroyed. 10-7s all around. He gets taken down, mounted, crucified, and KOed and submitted at the same time. On most days the referee would have stopped the fight at any point, but Herb Dean says the show must go on.

Round 3 is about to start. Jacare is all gassed out from beating the **** out of Boetsch and the ****-beaten Boetsch is nothing like that at all. Unbeknownst to Jacare and everyone watching, Boetsch was only pretending to be beat up.

Round 3 is where Tim Boetsch shows his true powers. He goes up to Jacare and just tosses/ragdolls him around over and over and over....









and eventualy finishes him off with a flying barbarplata.

"Honestly the worst matchup for Jacare."

Nah, that title belongs to Camozzi.

Some of you are being really silly.

Jacare gonna squeeze that head clean off

When Jacare fights anyone who isn't a very top level middleweight, they get finished(usually submitted).
When Boetsch fights top middleweights with high level ground games he gets submitted.

Seems obvious what should happen here unless Jacare gets stupid.
