Why are people saying that Barnett

Barnett trained with R1 Camp (Formely known as RAW) for the last few weeks. If he wanted to stand, he would be working out with Maurice Smith and working on his stand-up, not his ground game.

He's been working on his ground game more with WORLD CLASS WRESTLERS, which means, he's going to take the fight to the ground.

The only thing Cro-Cop has is his left high kick. If Barnett avoids, his high kick, Barnett will win.

Don't compare this fight to Rizzo. Barnett choose to stand and trade the whole time. Barnett didn't train with world class wrestlers at that time he fought Rizzo, but this time he did.

Barnett won't stand and trade with Cro-Cop

"The only thing Cro-Cop has is his left high kick."

Yeah, the one that he KO'd Bob Sapp with.

"Yeah, the one that he KO'd Bob Sapp with."

A little lesson I learned a long time ago: before replying with a funny smart assed comment, make sure you're right :)

Oh yeah, he didn't KO Bob Sapp.. He BROKE HIS ORBITAL BONE..

Great distinction to make Link.

Allow me to clarify:

Driscoll made a clever little (sarcastic) comment because Crocop beat Sapp with a punch to the face, NOT a high kick.

Linkage missed the point.

Fightwatcher: He did both.

Sapp was down for the 10-count in a kickboxing match. That's a KO.

Edit: No need for more sarcasm. You've had enough.

Mo Smith is there as well ......

raw musta changed the name to distance itself more from "pro" wrestling heh

Crocop has very good hands and a great uppercut. That said barnett will win.

Agreed with Charles - Cro-Cop has other weapons, BUT his left high kick is certainly the deadliest. Barnett will still win. Either way, no matter who wins - they should fight the winner of Fedor/Mino 3. The loser should get Kharitonov.

Josh has great takedowns? SInce when? He struggled mightly trying to get Semmy down and keep him there in their second fight, and Semmy is terrible at defending takedonws.

Training with world class wrestlers for a few weeks won't make you a world class wrestler.

Hell, with that thinking, then, since Crocop has been training with world class wrestlers longer than Josh has, should we expect to see Crocop hit a double leg and drive Josh into the mat?
