@WillianTheLazy 3 года назад

For real, this is one of the hardest fights Nate could take - and at welterweight. As much as I struggle to see Nate beating Usman, if he gets past Edwards, he’d probably deserve a title shot. Edwards is one tough customer, but so is Nate. Honestly feel fights featuring Nick & Nate should exclusively be 5 round fights regardless of where the fight sits on the card, going to deep waters with these Diaz dons often says a lot about a fighter.

@garymarshstein8992 3 года назад

It's garbage that Colby is getting this title shot in every way possible. The worst has to be the generally accepted myth that Colby was Kamaru's toughest title defense. Usman's former training partner Gilbert Burns put him at way more risk and actually hurt him in the first round. Then there's Colby bringing Jorge's family into all of his interviews prior to the recent welterweight title fight, which itself should be disqualifying or at least bring some sanction. Kamaru's real enough to acknowledge Leon is the fight. He's been consistent on that.

It's good that Kamaru Usman knocked Jorge MOUTH-Vidal, the F-out! Before that, the casuals kept pretending that Edwards had already had a fight with Mouth-Vidal. It's clear the Mouth was scared. He is still scared and knows Edwards would handle him in the ring. I believe Edwards would put a worse beating on Mouth-Vidal than Kamaru Usman did.
