@theproishiphop

Most Bellator cards are nowadays.  They keep going back to Ireland to try to find the next Conor(popularity wise) and have failed thus far.

You've been on a nutty streak my friend, but be careful you don't get too ****y. Nothing against how you been doing, you've been absolutely killing it, but overconfidence can definitely come back to bite you in the ass. Can't predict every card right even if you do 9 out of 10 right, there will still be that one. 

With that being said I agree that this card is really easy to predict. I don't think this will be the one.

The usually 2 events a year Bellator do in Ireland are the biggest fight shows in the country every year the last few years including boxing, there was a big stadium Cage Warriors show in Belfast in summer aswell, but its cool to have some big events for the locals, they dont happen too often and its a great buzz going to a big fight night, cant beat it.... Never went to a big boxing fight night only amateur ones, but the big MMA events I went to, UFC, Bellator and KSW have been epic, live for that ****

Manhoef grew up in Mikes Gym if I remember, aka The Brain Damage Room

Also Chakuriki Gym another legendary one

I definitly think sparring less, save your wear and tear for real fights can pay off and be the more logical option... just drill techniques 1000s of times and make your fitness conditioning as elite as you can.... Even when I was in Thailand for a month doing Muay Thai they kept saying chill in sparring.... The Dutch are known to brutalize each other in some gyms over there, Mikes Gym being maybe the most notable... Ive also been in a few amateur boxing/kickboxing/MT gyms that didnt mind ass whoopings being handed out in sparring, but not as bad as Mikes Gym where people are being koed or concussed in training like every day, and I think things have improved in recent years with awareness to health and wear and tear in combat sports like striking ones

Everyone is fading Manhoef via stoppage but I dunno... I kind of see a post round 1 sluggish decision and I hope im right, neither of them need anymore damage in their mid 40s especially Manhoef he has been through a meat grinder over the years

I agree first round ko is wishiful thinking.
Most yoel roids of god wins are later and he is old and against a superior striker.
Sure mel is wayy past it too such a bad match I expect nada.
