I´m not sure who will win the fight, but i am reasonably sure of who 2/3 judges will say won the fight.

Hope Thomson finishes this, because if it goes the distance, he'll get screwed.

Prediction: wrong Thomson   wrong Decision  

Yeah, because he has all the tools to win, the point was that Bendo wins fights he should have lost, so if it goes that way, he usually gets the nod, even if he was losing.

After the first Pettis loss, Bendo came out like an animal, destroying Jim Miller. Hopefully, we see another such performance from him.

I'm pretty sure the first guy he beat on after Pettis was Mark Bocek, which isn't NEARLY as impressive if I do say so myself.

I think it's stupid to pick Thomson because Henderson will win no matter what...even if he loses. Sigh.

yeah, no ****. So according to the things you yourself have said, if Thomson wins, it won´t be by decision. I realize there is probably something more to what you think, but dude, you haven´t said anything so far to explain your pick of thomson by decision.

Thomson deserved that win over Gil in the trilogy. People forget how good this cat is. We can say he beat Gilbert Melendez in  5 round war for  strikeforce title and knocked Nate out in his last 2 bouts coming into this.

@Anik Yet you pick Thomson. Lol. 

Henderson dominated Bocek & Miller back-to-back after losing to Pettis. I can see him coming out and putting in a statement performance. Ever since the first Frankie fight, Benson looks too lax in the cage. He doesn't press the action and take it to his opponent. It's been kind of a big problem considering so many people think his fights with Frankie and Gilbert were close, though he did utterly outclass Diaz.

Bendo is like a Super Saiyen, when he loses, he get's stronger and goes on huge streaks.

What the hell is worng with you @Buffalo?

 I PICKED THOMSON TO WIN BY DECISION BECAUSE I THINK HE CAN WIN BY DECISION, BUT IF IT GOES THE DISTANCE, HE MIGHT GET SCREWED. BUT THAT DOESN"T MEAN IM GOING TO CHANGE MY PICK, THOMSON IS THE BETTER FIGHTER (IMO).

I'll explain the rest to you after you finish your finger painting class

Prediction: wrong Thomson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

I take your AV bet all day. I think people are seriously sleeping on Thomson. I don't think benson has anything on Thomson when it comes to striking and I think this fight going to be a striking match. People say Benson more unpredictable, but I don't really agree. Thomson just more technical, and does not throw as much needless strikes. Thomson however does effectively use kick's much better then Benson does. Thomson has effectively utilized a front kick, something ive really never seen from Benson. Honestly I don't really get why people think Benson has the edge striking at all, or that he more unpredictable. I think Thomson is the more skilled and unpredictable striker as well as more effective striker. Benson can win, but in my opinion a prolonged striking match favors Thomson.

Prediction: correct Henderson   correct Decision  

To me this fight is primarily about pace. The faster the fight moves the better off Henderson is. If it's a slow developing fight like against Gilbert or Frankie, Thomson's gonna pick his shots wisely and probably outpoint Benson. If they fight at a furious pace, Benson is just too good in scrambles.

This is the first time you ever used the word ¨might¨, I´m not stupid just becuase you don´t know how to articulate a simple thought. It´s tough making other people understand your thoughts and opinions isn´t it? But its what big boys do, so pull up your diaper and start paying attention to yourself. 

Henderson is likely to rob the decision, but Thomson could still win the decision since he is the better fighter. IS this what you meant to say? 

Ok. Now write the words ¨likely¨ and ¨might¨ and ¨could¨ in your notebook so you don´t forget what they mean.
