LFA 148: Leyva vs. Brown

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Leyva vs. Brown
Alfonso Leyva, DEC
Leyva is for sure a solid prospect based on his wrestling base alone but his striking looks pretty solid. I think Brown is tough enough to make it to the scorecards though as he himself is a good fighter

Horth Wessels vs. Mazo
Jamey-Lyn Horth Wessels, SUB, R2
Horth Wessels is a very interesting prospect at 125. I think she makes quick work of Mazo

Leyva vs. Brown
Alfonso Leyva, DEC
Leyva is gonna have to use his Olympic wrestling to win this one; brown is a problem on the feet. Very dynamic striker and incredibly difficult to outpoint. I get why everyone has ko but he’s not finishing brown. If he can impressively beat brown leyva should be a shoe in for the ufc

Horth Wessels vs. Mazo
Jamey-Lyn Horth Wessels, SUB, R3
Mazo will be a good test for horth weasels but she ultimately can’t grapple which is gonna be her downfall here. Horth wessels is a very good prospect and should be signed to the ufc with a wjn

Gibson vs. Martinez
Chase Gibson, SUB, R2
Not really sure why gibson is a massive underdog. Yeah he’s not great but he’s active and been fighting way better competition

Miranda vs. Wilson
Richie Miranda, TKO, R3
Richie is a really good prospect

Craig vs. Rodriguez
Jeffrey Craig, DEC
Really not sure about this one. I think Craig is actually really good but I also don’t think he won his last fight. This is a tough test for him too

Barbosa vs. Piccolo
Mariana Piccolo, DEC
Idk. Both suck

Dorado vs. Penha
Eduardo Penha, SUB, R1
I get why the odds are skewed this way but I wouldn’t count out penha. He was an all American wrestler and his father is the legendary Sergio penha. In his debut fight he kimura’d a guy using his legs while in a back crucifix; high level stuff right there

Ewing vs. Moreno
Ethyn Ewing, DEC
Damn no easy fights for Ewing

Leyva vs. Brown
Alfonso Leyva, TKO, R2
Chris Brown is ending a lot of prospects hype at LFA, but Leyva´s wrestling should topple him

Miranda vs. Wilson
Richie Miranda, SUB, R2
I think Miranda has the tools to deal with a good wrestler

Craig vs. Rodriguez
Jeffrey Craig, DEC
Craig had an even fight against a really good wrestler like Blair, he should do even better here

Silva vs. Kawaihae
Danny Silva, DEC
Silva is a really good boxer, but maybe Canaan has finally put it all together

Dorado vs. Penha
Eduardo Penha, SUB, R1
Penha is incredibly good on the ground I think he can pull off an upset

Davis vs. Prado
Cody Davis, SUB, R2
Davis is too good to favor an unknown bolivian prospect

Silva vs. Kawaihae
Danny Silva, DEC
Good step up for silva

Davis vs. Prado
Cody Davis, DEC
Interested to see what prado looks like; Bolivia is an mma scene on the rise but I think Cody Davis is just better at this point in time

Brown is going to pull off the upset here boys.  I have a feeling...

I could see that. I’m really on the fence for this one cuz leyva doesn’t use his wrestling as much as I’d like him too; especially since he’s an Olympian. Leyva has good striking but not on the level of brown 

Wooooow no way horth weasels vs mazo is off. Jamey always dealing with injuries

Secaida vs. Babakar Khil
Qudratullah Babakar Khil, DEC
Babakar khil is an afghan training at TAM, could be a total can but it’s clear they want him to win

Moreno vs. Silva
Xavier Moreno, SUB, R1
Mismatch

Leyva vs. Brown
Alfonso Leyva, TKO, R2
Leyva is high on my list of my favorite prospects

The bookies really made Alfonzo a -400 favorite?  Why? lol

Surely Brown has more of a chance than that

now he is -500

and haris was like -150


i have a feeling this line is off.

or maybe this leyva guy is really a level above everyone else

I’m starting to think the second choice. I rewatched tape on him and am super impressed with what I’m seeing 

Is Chris Brown a James Krause fighter? lol Maybe there is an injury we don't know about?

He trains at jackson wink 

Chris Brown vs. Alfonso Leyva
Chris Brown by TKO or Decision.
I don't understand why pepole say that Leyva will defeat to Brown. Yes, Leyva has a wrestling grecorroman background, but this tipe wrestling doesn't very good in MMA. Leyva has a boxing decent, but Brown's striking is in other level. Carlos Leal, a very good black belt in BJJ, never can takes to down or controled to Brown. Leyva doesn't can do it. Now seeing the competition of both: Brown fought againts the best of escene regional from USA and Leyva fought againts very bad opponents in the promotion UWC, of his gym Entram Gym. Brown should win.

3 of the best mexican prospects out there in the last 3 fights, Leyva, Silva & Miranda. Win or lose, they're very talented and wellrounded and i wanna see him fight tough competition in the ufc, or at least in the contender series. They're fighting tough matchups. 

In the main event, Chris Brown is unorthodox on the feet, with awkward timing, and excellent scrambling ability with solid takedown defense. I think if Alfonso beats that tough of a matchup, he's ready to sign with a big promotion.

Danny Silva has beautiful striking, specially his crisp boxing, and he's wellrounded and a very tough man. If he can avoid the kicks by Canaan, and uses some nice head movement and counters with long/straight punches, he can get the job done, and if he gets a finished he should get a contender series fight, or a title fight in a regional promotion, or why not a ufc call on short notice, because he's for real.

Richie Miranda is a very wellrounded and exciting fighter to watch, dangerous with his grappling as he is with his striking, at all times of the fight. If he gets a big win here, against a grappler of the caliber of James Wilson, i hope he gets a big opportunity as well, because his record is great and he's fighting top competition... so i don't care if it's bellator or ufc, if he gets a finish over Wilson, which i think he will because he's more wellrounded, Richie can clip him with his hands and choke him out

Hi guys, where can i watch prelims? I cannot find any informations...
