 I feel Verhoeven will take it due to being a bit more sharpened through experience. However I'd welcome an upset by Benny and Gerasimchuk showed that Verhoeven can be surprised by an underdog. So, who do you have taking this and why? |

I'll go with my boy Benny. Rico is obviously the far more experienced guy but i hope Benny has enough speed and power to overcome Rico's experience advantage.
Benny should also be a lot more motivated for this, his kid is under way and should be born in some weeks.

This is potentially one of the biggest heavyweight fights in some years, I just hope it will not disappoint me. A win of Adegbuyi can produce big noise in Glory whilst a win of Verhoeven will extend his legacy. The Prince of Kickboxing is surely an underrated personage. I will go with the hungry Romanian Lion because this would mean we would have two great fighters and this can be the start of a trilogy.

As we've seen in the past, if you can hit Rico you can put Rico down. The problem is actually hitting Rico.
Was January a fluke? He had a lot on his mind and wanted to pull out of the fight but couldn't because his manager has a financial stake in Kunlun, so yeah, I think we might be able to say "fluke." On the other hand, he got tagged and Benny is a lot better than Gershimachuk.
I think that when it comes to raw skill I give the nod to Rico. If Benny doesn't find an opening and tag him he won't win, period. We've seen the same thing with Daniel Ghita, whom I'd say is better than Adegbuyi (or at least was during his prime a few years back). But Benny can still win, which is exciting.

RICO by TKO. I think Benny will come out banging looking to stop Rico as a result I think he will be susceptible to a short right hand. But, Ive been wrong before ; )

I doubt Benny will come out banging, never seen him do that. He is a smart fighter, he will pick his shots carefully.

Did Rico already lose the staredown?

I might be wrong but it is the first time when I see fear in the eyes of Rico.

Fear? Are you joking? How does one see fear in another's eyes? Personally i see an extremely relaxed Rico, like he has no worry in the world for this fight.

Uptight? What does that mean? I see him very relaxed. I actually see some doubt in the pictures against Errol, like in that first pic it looks like he has a forced smile on his face. With Benny i see only relaxation, no worries at all.

I feel like you are projecting your own wishes upon these still photographs.
