I guess people are finally seeing Glover for what he really is, an overhyped boxer with  decent BJJ. OSP will put him to sleep in a couple of rounds, Glover tendency of over comitting and getting tagged are not a good trait to have but against OSP´spower and explosivness is death.

OSP is way too raw to offer Glover any issues on the feet IMO.

Glover looked like he aged 10 years in his last fight.OSP's performances have always been all over the place.Not sure who i'll go with yet.

I think OSP is slowly coming together while Glover is slowly becoming apart. I´ve never cared  much for wither one of them, But  OSP has been improving imo, he still doesn´t convience me entirely but I´ve seen him come from worse to better while Glover has done the opposite.

People are writing off Teixeira prematurely in my opinion. St. Pruex is not Jon Jones or Phil Davis, not even close.

I think Glover will win this.  He had a great run and then lost to two guys who could outwrestle him( he also lost to Ed Herman early on who is a wrestler as well).  OSP is not that kind of wrestler.

OSP TKO late.

If Vince can get through the first round he has a good chance of taking this one. OSP is hard to pressure on the fence and that's a big part of Glover game. I don't see anyway Glover wins this.

I see OSP rising and  Teixiera slowing down.  OSP by being the bigger and better athlete.

Prediction: correct Teixeira   wrong Decision  

Tough fight to call. Glover isn't easily finished and I have a feeling that if tested OSP's cardio won't hold while as Glover has gone 5 rounds with Jones and didn't look dead in the championship rounds. I have a feeling that might be the difference. That said, OSP's athletic advantage, both in speed and power cannot be overlooked. I can honestly see this fight going either way.

Glover is super one dimensional. OSP should take this pretty easily.

Glover's grappling credentials far surpass that of OSP. Some people seriously have no clue what they're talking about when they post.

Musta missed him subbing Kingsbu, and Te Huna.



Edit: I also find it funny that I was made fun of for saying OSP would beat Shogun, and now people are up OSP's ass and writing off Glover.

Glover's grappling didn't help him much against Phil Davis but OSP was outwrestled badly against Bader, so it will be a little surprising if this fight takes place outside of the striking, well, dimension.
