    not sure what you mean. i pretty much got yelled at because I said koschek was boring.

    it doesn't worry me much. i like mma, but like boxing, it's not always exciting and i'd be the first to admit, i'm somewhat shot as a fan.

    Yeah I have my 'I'm done' moments.

    In relation to Koscheck I think are are being a little harsh on the guy. I've seen Josh risk fights by insisting on standing/trading with guys.

    I think of Koscheck as a game fighter - someone who will always have a go..

    i dont like him, but i do admit he's a very good fighter. i'd only rank gsp, fitch, alvez, and silva ahead of him.

    I said before the fight, Koscheck is underrated. He seems to be quite hated, for whatever reason.

    To be fair too, most of his fights aren't boring at all. It was only this fight that was pathetic. And no it wasn't a great display of wrestling, it was an effective display of lay and pray. He wrestled Daley to the ground and was content with just keeping him there. A great display of wrestling would be non stop violent takedowns, slams, some ground and pound mixed in, pinning against the cage, another slam etc.

    It's all about opinions brother... IMO the Kos is at least on level par with all those guys with the exception of GSP.

    TKO - he's certainly not at least on par with Alves, Alves beat him decisively.

    he just might be. that and i thought he won the first round vs. gsp before he got dominated in rounds 2 and 3.

    koschek's been on a roll lately, but he still lost to alvez and got KOed by silva. fitch beat both guys and is clearly the #1 contender.

    i'll admit that koschek is as exciting as wanderlei silva compared to his teammate fitch. fitch is simply unwatchable imo.

    Yeah Alves did beat him up and probably did a better job on Josh than GSP did but in terms of levels I believe Josh is much closer to Alves than he is to George.

    I would accept Alves is a slightly better than Josh but its far from a mismatch.

    Joony - I would agree on Fitch, he's a poor mans welterweight Rich Franklin.
