[ubcpower]

dunno who will be looked upon as a bigger flop Mariusz or Kimbo

[Talo]

Mariusz just lifts heavy shit and wanted to make the switch to fighting , where Kimbo has based his life on fighting , you tube style :) .

Maybe they can fight each other.

[vakker]

Mario tapped because he was tired and knew it was not worth his time to continue because he was tired. He quit.

What a lack of heart.

pudz was so exhausted, he simply fell over. lol
His stamina is worse than Bob Sapp. I hope he learns from this, though.

[tiramisu]

Yup, blew his loads and ran out of gas. He's going to have to enter the wonderful world of conditioning next if he wants to go further.

Pudz gave up against an extra fat and rusty Sylvia. Gave up. Quit.

Where are all the nut hugging armchair experts now? Please explain why his unquestionable endurance wasn't there? Why his superhuman strength didn't prevail? Why his karate training didn't make any difference?

Sylvia got one timed within 9 seconds by a 50yr old man in his last fight, why didn't the super athlete Pudz run through him with ease? I mean all Pudz had to do was get a hold of Sylvia and smash him right?

If Pudz knew how to fight he'd be a force, unfortunately he doesn't. He is a world class athlete, with a great attitude and a lot of courage but he wound up exactly where Sylvia would if he was to compete in a strongman contest.

The "give up" part is probably the biggest problem. 6 Months of serious conditioning and he should be able to take Sylvia in a rematch. BUT and it's a big BUT. If you can't take a beating you aren't going to be successful. These guys aren't afraid of pain and that's something that takes a lot of years to learn.

In points fighting I realized pretty quickly that a couple of hard blocks is usually all it takes to shut most young guys down. "Oh, it hurts when I hit you with my leg, I guess I won't try to kick you anymore". It's a natural response. The best fighters have worked through their emotional issues with pain and just keep kicking you till you fall down. If Pudz really "gave up" he is years away from the next step. If he was just gassed 6 months can take him to the next level.

What he does next will tell.

The "give up" part is probably the biggest problem... .

agreed, doesnt matter if he lives on the treadmill for the next 6 months, if the fighter's mentality and heart is not there than forget it

[cog]

He wasted his energy like Monson did.Timmy was extra large for this fight,Pudz's simple tactics just didn't cut it here.

Well said.'

I don't think he will go anywhere even if he does get properly conditioned, he doesn't have a fighters mentality.
Some guys will say " **** it, I know I'm going to lose but I'm still going to give this guy hell "...... and guys like Pud lie down and quit. He didn't even get knocked down, he laid down and quit... and he looked like shit in every second before he did.
Pretty much every sucessful fighter I've ever met would die before they quit.
And pretty much every trainer would not be training a guy who quit like that either.

if you dont have heart you should NOT be a fighter
