Lombard vs. Boetsch

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

Lombard is an overrated can crusher who is about to be destroyed. Boetsch is not all that good, but he's still enough to beat Lombard

Only 13% taking Boetsch? That's amazing.

err, 17%... I have AM dyslexia. It's a real thing. Look it up.

Lombard is the new shinny UFC toy that hasn't been exposed yet like most other fighters that come in hyped up!!

dyslexia does not make 7's turn into 3's lol

Is Boetsch a better striker then Shlemenko? Not even close.

Can he outwrestle/judo Lombard? Most likely not.

Lombard will win this 9.5/10 times.

Okami thought the same thing.

gotta love your abc logic. To bad it not accurate of the outcome.  Ebersole who small welter weight went friggin 4 rounds with Lombard and lost via injurree.


9.5/10 out of 10 is likely wishful thinking on your part.  Just for the record Boetch would likely stomp ebersole. Watch size play much bigger factor then you might think. most middle weights would man handle Ebersole, interesting to note Lombard was not able to secure victory against a way smaller opponent until the forth round. Ebersole though entertaining is not even a top 10 fighter and undersize for his division let a lone middle weight.

My logic may not be solid, I am clearly a Lombard fan.

But is yours any better? Using a fight from 2008? And that is the only time Ebersole hasn't made it to a decision since 2005. Clearly he's tough to put away.

You don't need to see someone against good opposition to know there skill set and determine how they would do. Lombard is a Judo olympian, BJ blackbelt, has huge power in his hands, and has never been finished. Boetsch has the same puncher's chance he had against Okami, and that's about all I can see happening.

We'll just have to wait and see how it plays out, I can't wait for this main card, great fights.

EDIT: I didn't give you the downvote btw...

This is a debate between arguably one of the foremost knowledges of MMA anywhere that I've come across and another guy who can't pick 60% cherry picking.

And you are trying to poke holes in his logic?

Oh I am also of the opinion that Lombard will win. i jsut think Boetch have more then .5 percent chance out of 10 and would not be surprised if he size and strength ends up making an impact in this fight. But I agree Lombard is the favorite however I very much disagree that Boetch has merely a slight punchers chance. 


as for the votes down, I did not even realize that until you pointed it out. No worries. I dont really care about my votes down or up. I dont even know what the point of it is.

cherry picking? get a life dude. I sorry I dont spend my entire day every day picking fights on tapology. I have this thing call a life, maybe you have heard of it?




457 picks is far from cherry picking, but please feel free to go through my picks sherlock and see how much i "cherry pick"

I have no idea what a life is. Like everyone else who picks every fight I sit infront of the screen constantly re-checking my picks. I wake up at 7am, scream at my mum to bring me food and it just repeats. Its well worth the extra 4%.

lol

This is Life!

First off you don't have to quote someone every time you respond, a simple "@member" will suffice. 

Second of all you have been a member over 2 years, that's less than a pick per day, so yes, you cherry pick. And you aren't very good at it. 

As far as this "life" thing. There's 168 hours in a week, it takes me less than 2 to make my picks. Judging by your grammar I don't know if you can subtract that so allow me, that leaves the other 166 hours of the week free.

I enjoy doing the quotes, so I will keep doing them."


Because I beena  member for two years, that means I am cherry picking because I dont pick often?  Did you also realize sherlock that i not on often either?  hmmm, forgot about that one did yea?  Also cherry picking implies I pick easy fights, I don't. Please feel free to review my picks. I also could give to ****s about my pick percentage.


yes because  ones grammar is clearly the deciding factor and representatives of one intellect right? I have this thing call Dyslexia, ever heard of it Sherlock? Oh and did you also know Ben Franklin who one of the smartest people of his time had awful grammar?  So clearly I must be so stupid because my grammar is not very good.

Dyslexia is awfully hard to spell..

My brother has it. He isn't stupid, just can't spell for ****.

I'm sure Ben Franklin didn't think "alone" was two words, that you spelled "fourth" without the U or that "to" and the number 2 are spelled differently.

Also Dyslexia has nothing to do with those nor your myriad of grammar mistakes in each post of yours I have read. 

"So clearly I must be so stupid"


^ since you like quotes so much. You said it, not me.
