I would definitely not used the term "Straight worked". Johnson did fine on the ground in round 1. And in round two was exhausted and just held a dumb position trying to recover, and Clementi got him. He never really "worked" him.
I don't know. Clementi was a whole lot smaller than him in that fight, and still managed to easily when the ground game.

Rumble imo will knock Kos out big time. I think Kos is more suseptable to being ko'd now too, but that won't matter. I will be very suprised if it goes to a decision. I think Rumble gets a title shot in 2010 maybe as early as june.

Just in time for the expected/hopeful Toronto show.

I didn't realize Sadollah was a part of this card. Looking forward to actually seeing him fight.
He looked really strong, really quick, and had some good technique in his last fight... It just got all screwed up by the ref.

Damn you, Karo!!! I was really looking forward to that fight with Hazelett.
I know last year Karo talked about dealing with anxiety and panic attacks. This is the 2nd time now he's pulled out of a fight last-minute. As someone who deals with anxiety issues, I would lay good odds that he's not over those issues and that's what is causing him to act this way.
He stated that he didn't go to therapy and that's a big no-no when you're trying to get over anxiety/panic attacks. You have to figure out what the root cause of the anxiety/panic is, and only then will you start to understand what you need to do to get better.

Parisyan had contacted Kizer a few weeks ago to discuss a "nagging, lingering injury," Kizer said, and asked what proper medications he could take prior to the bout. Kizer said he instructed Parisyan that Tylenol and icing was the safest method, but encouraged the fighter to have his physician send in a letter stating his injuries and what medications he was taking for it, so the NSAC doctor could work with him.
