Are you expecting a finish for Rockhold or a hard fought decision?
Who knows, Rockhold is way too cocky and lets see if he still remains embarrassed by getting KO’d by a guy that cant bust a grape. If he has any sense he will take it 100% serious this time!
MR31 -What about rounds 4 & 5?I think this could be a trap fight. I get the feeling that rockhold is overlooking branch. I think branch will surprise him in Rd 1, then rockhold will buckle down and take Rd 2 and 3 in a close fight.
if he comes in looking bored and complacent I hope Branch beats the shit out of him
I’ve never flipped who I was rooting for so fast as when he was fought Bisping the second time
it will be a rock hard decision.
Branch has every tool to beat Rockhold so he better bring his A game. Branch knows it's a huge opportunity for him and is going to be firing on all cylinders... should be good.
Hadouken -If he fights like he did against Bisping then he'll get ko'd.
Sad reality is the guy very well may go ahead and do that again.
His ego is his worst enemy. His the talent, athleticism, and fight iq to go down as one of the greatest middleweights ever but he's just so fucking cocky.
I think he comes back in a big way. He’s a super talented dude his arrogance can just tend to get in the way. I think the embarasment of getting knocked out by Bisping may have lit a fire under his ass.
I hope he wins, but branch is no joke and has the tools to beat him.
I get the feeling that he is looking 2 opponents passed branch and that's a recipe for disaster after doing the same got you KO'd by someone who was way less dangerous in bisping
Can't go worse than this

Branch is going to start strong with the boxing .
as long as rock keeps his hands up to protect his chin, he wins

Hope it lit a fire under his ass.
If not, then the MW division will continue to be a clusterfuck.

How are his hands?

Branch has pretty good hands, much better than Rockholds…I recently saw a sparring clip where a lot was getting the better of Rockhold and Luke was going hard!

Wait, they used to train together?
Rockholds hands are meh. Which is a shame. If he could really tighten them up, nobody would be able to fuck with him standing.

They are good , better than Luke's. I expect him to try to be the aggressor early .

Probably will be a good start for Branch but once Rockhold gets him down it's over probably by round two.

No, I posted a vid a few minutes ago of Rockhold sparring at the Combat Club…he was going against a ltwt and was not winning…
Exactly, Luke’s hands honestly are weak…he was training at Mayweathers so hopefully his hands have improved but I doubt it…
Good hands in mma seems like speed or power, almost genetic…you either have it or you don’t
