    What do you think?

    Could Cungle outslick and outstrike Franklin for a decision? Does Bungle have enough power to stop Franklin?

    Does franklin have enough power to take advantage of Bungle's shaky chin?

    Rich Franklin would kill Cung Le at this point. Le is a tiny 185lber while Franklin is a giant at that weight. He would be too much for Le and he wouldn't fight a retarded fight like Shamrock did.

    Fuck, I was being kind by calling it shaky.

    If you think he DOESN'T have a shaky chin, you're the basehead. The first clean punch shamrock landed almost KO'd Cungle, and he's been hurt before.

    I have to say though, I think Cungle would decision franklin, who has a decent record, but has never looked anything special. Cungle is an excellent striker, he'd confused and strike the shit out of Franklin.

    The bigger guys at 185 are too big for Le. He should be fighting at 170, he can make it. He's short and he's not very ripped at all. He looks like he could lose the weight.

    Like everyone else said, Rich is just too big....The whole point of Shaw bringing Cung along at 185 was drawn out last Saturday night....There woulda been alot less hype in having him fight 170, and get taken down, and grounded into submission by Jake Sheilds.....Brilliant work by XC/Strikeforce, whatever the fuck they are today

    Fair point.

    I didn't notice on saturday, but I rewatched the fight this evening, and Cungle looked pretty fucking small actually.

    I thought they looked the same on saturday, and they were both listed as 5'10.

    Actually, Shamrock seems to be an inch or 2 taller, and just a bigger framed man.

    Cungle does indeed look small at 185.

    A couple of other observations.

    His defense is shit. He managed to come back from being hurt due to heart and determination. His defense was rubbish, he got clocked clean a good few more times after being hurt initially by that right hand.

    His chin is shaky like I said, but not glass. Shamrock clocked him a few more times, and cungle fought through it, and didn't go down.
