*** Herb is talking about??? Teymur has no obligation to engage first! Klose was taunting him and Herb fell for it?! Herb seems off tonight.

I have 20-18 Teymur. Klose is annoying to watch.

20-18 Teymur

Klose needs a finish bad, no matter how much he is trying to influence the judges to think otherwise with his shenanigans.

Smart gameplan

Predictions: 5 of 8 Winners, 1 Perfect, 290 Points   |   Tied for 1524th

I saw Klose's fight with Joshua Aveles a while back in TPF live. He has a hard time with fighters who have a competent, specific striking game. If he can't get them to zig to his zag (so-to-say) he gets flustered really easily. Smart fighting from Teymur thus far.

I'm mad at Herb, guys. 

Also, Klose can **** right off with his, "What, we head kicking now bro?" ********.

30-27 Teymur

If they give Klose a hometown decision, that will be so dumb.  Especially since Klose grabbed the shorts for that takedown in the 3rd round.

Klose couldn't fathom a fighter not running toward him in straight lines, apparently. 

And neither could Herb.

30-27 or 29-28 Teymur.

Herb was AWFUL in this fight. Klose got a takedown by almost ripping Teymur's short off.

I hope the judges don't gift Klose this fight due to his bully attitude and Herb being dumb.

Did anyone like it?  In my modest opinion this was a very poor fight.

Maybe Klose won it.  Takedowns will make the difference.
