This fight will determine where Stipe is really headed. Both Hunt and Stipe are really good people and I'm a fan of them, I grew up on Mark Hunt however. So for that reason... WAR HUNTO!!!!!!
Lupo can be very very on the money here. Hunt's striking when on point is very deceptive and of course his power is undeniable.
Kepler - People are crazy, not that Stipe's striking is bad but how anyone can watch them both and think Stipe surpasses Hunt with anything baffles me.As far as accuracy goes, Stipe has him beat. As far as stats go, he has better defense as well...which was a big knock on him.
@Mayhem13 I know I should keep it polite but wtf are you smoking? You telling me that Stipe has better accuracy? better footwork? that he can switch stances smoother? Hunts striking arsenal is so much bigger and more diverse.
Styles make fights and I think people are taking too much from the JDS/Stipe fight.

I'm not putting Hunt down. He's a beast. I just think Stipe has the edge in almost every area. And more ways to win...
we will find out Saturday though, should he a good fight.
SurgicalGloves - I think he does damn near everything better.
He doesn't have equal KO power but Stipe surpasses him everywhere else.

gotta agree
I think several of you underestimate how technical Mark Hunt's striking is, he's more than just power and a great chin. His timing and the way he sets up his power is pretty great....
Bobby Lupo - Stipe has zero head movement, and keeps his chin in the air...and he's fighting Mark Hunt.
That's the only thing you need to know about this fight
Loops you said the EXACT same thing so many times leading up to the JDS fight.
It isn't that simple and you should be aware of that by now.

That said, I think Stipe fights "smart" mañana.
Junto will be laying the smack down
I don't like this match up for Hunt.

Stipe better everywhere tonight as expected.
At some point you are going to have to set nostalgia aside when you are picking a fight.
