Glory 51 - Rotterdam [03-03] Results

[Fox]

Rico and Adegbuyi beat him, he beats Innocente and Plazibat, not sure about JBS and Brestovac.

I think Ben saddik and Rico beat him, but that's it. Benny is rated too high at the moment . Let's not forget he baiscally lost a decision with Anderson silva and lost to Guto. He caught Marshall in the first 30 seconds after marshal bum rushed him. Same happened to gerges who got caught by brestovac in the first 30 seconds after bum rushing. Those victories don't tell me anything really. Also Benny fought an already tired and beat up Tafa.

In my opinion Jamal is significantly better than Benny.

I would rank them like this:

1.Rico

2.Jamal

3.Badr

4.Guto/Benny/Gerges

5.Brestovac/Marshall/Londt/El bouni/Plazibat

Of course this ranking is about who I think is the better fighter not who has the best wins.

I don't like guto as a fighter at all... his fights are always ugly, but he gets too overlooked . He did lost against Gerges, but he beat pretty clearly benny. Had a close fight with jamal and also has a decision victory over Marshall. Anyway I would rather see someone else fight than guto to be honest LOL very very ugly style.


The problem with badr right now is that he lost too much weight. Losing too much weight took too much power away from him therefore he can't have people respect his power anymore making him more likely to get pressured and getting into dog fights. His best weight should be around 109 kg. At 115 kg he was too heavy against rico. But AT 109 kg he can  probably keep most of the speed and cardio  and also keeping most of the power .

Also he isn't young anymore, just because he was 101 in 2008 at 23 doesn't mean he should be now. You get heavier with age and cutting down to your past body weight when you were young doesn't mean that is the right thing to do for your body. In fact it could be bad for your body as it needs more mass to function well then it did back then.
Also look at Badr's face , he looks sick, he doesn't look well. He looked like he is cutting massive weight... similar to how some mma fighters look at weigh-ins after cutting massive weight to fight in a lower weight class. 

I mean look at him, he is 101 kg just like in 2008, but he fights the way he fought in 2005-2006 when he was 93 kg... that's not a good thing. The weight cut took away all his vitality and power.

It's funny, but as much as some people like to crap on my beloved K-1 HW tournament, I think El Bouni and Plazibat could actually give Badr a lot of trouble.

In fact, look at the WFL's Final 16 (or now Final 8) line up and I think there's a bunch of fighters in there that could do well against him. Maybe they're no threat to Rico right now, but some of them could definitely get there.

I think El bouni has a really great future. Possibly future number 1. He has the tools to get there. 

Also if Hari doesn't go up in weight a bit I don't even see him beating Jamal let alone Rico. How can he keep jamal off him coming this weak? he has good footwork, but he can't evade jamal forever using footwork if the power threat isn't there. What made badr very effective with his striking is that he had the threat to knock you out at any moment if you commit too much with strikes and offensive. As I said he might have the same body weight from 2008, but he doesn't have nowhere near the Power and vitality he had in 2008. He fights and looks more like when he was 93 kg in 2005-2006, which is not enough to beat fighters like jamal or rico.   It's clearly that 101 kg doesn't fit him anymore and that now his body needs more mass to function well. This happens to most people that are in their early 20's and get into their 30's. That's why weight cutting is getting harder and harder as you age and a lot more harmful to your body.
