As he`s alot more positive than that usually.<BR/><BR/>I`m a GSP fan, but actuallt think the fight with BJ he should`ve lost and got a rather dubious win. WOuld love to see a rematch that would be on another level. And i think someone would definaely get submitted or knocked out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923842102063496674.post-18352891635048028692008-05-29T14:42:00.000-07:002008-05-29T14:42:00.000-07:00I expected a much rougher fight. A couple of observations: 1)If you watch the fight again, you'll notice Sherk never maximizes his reach while punching, he throws curves. Not only does this shorten his reach, it fails to bring that "snap" that brings the stars; 2)I understand Penn is perhaps the most dangerous BJJ guy out there (#4#), but Sherk didn't even attempt a double leg takedown (his bread and butter) which was disappointing. I actually thought he'd have a chance at it since he, unlike everyone else who sucks at double leg take downs, drives through his opponent and often times takes it across the ring. I'm sure Penn would've avoided going to his back, but the scramble would've been something to see :). Besides, now he may never know if it would've worked 'cuz he never tried.; 3)WHAT THE FUCK was Sherk thinking by not continuing to kick Penn's leg?? He was getting solid shots in and Penn (who was being generous with that leg) would have had to change his game plan. Instead, Sherk only threw a few kicks while continuing to let Penn tee off on his face w/ surgical jabs and straights.<BR/><BR/>THE GOOD: Penn steps up to the plate and doesn't disappoint. If he had Sherk's work ethic nobody would touch the guy and GSP would just be the guy who beats everyone EXCEPT Penn. <BR/><BR/>THE BAD: Sherk's rigid strategy (made for a slow fight). Whatever his game plan was, it didn't work. Actually, it failed miserably. There was no attempt to change his tactics (no, waiting for the 4th and 5th round was not a strategy since he wasn't forcing Penn to work). And the fence bounce, what the fuck was he thinking?? Amateurs bounce off of the fence, and usually stay amateurs.Zadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923842102063496674.post-40912049906316930412008-05-27T00:23:00.000-07:002008-05-27T00:23:00.000-07:00can u please find another link!

Had Sherk been saved by the bell he should have gotten up and gone to his corner. It would have shown that he's not battered to hell.
