[quote comment="203012"]i respect houston, however i really think the band wagon will be destroyed after his fight with silva, silva is a gansta mofo and i think we will see an early submission by silva, watch and see[/quote]

Idiot thought I would lose? Please I have a lot of gas in the tank but if you want to find out try and fight me. In the loop you need plenty of gas toward of the A.B. Dont mess with me or this Brotha will get dirty on your ass.

i agree benching 2x body weight proves nothing. big boys gas so fast if they are all muscle. Houston looks tight/lean. i think he has more desire as he has six kids to feed lol… hes not lookin for a ferrari but to help his kids survive thanks frank – http:/houston-alexander.com

[quote post="3760"]Your school didn’t even make the top 30 list for MBA’s so I will take your comments with a grain of salt as your as my education is far superior to your “Second Tier Program” according to Business Weekly. [/quote]

Way to show off your intelligence. Let’s hope you didn’t major in grammar.

[quote post="3760"]He’s put on great fights and I can’t wait to see him at 78, his fights are a pleasure to watch.
In regards to 450 lbs on the bench, I can prove that he’s lying. Ask yourself if you’ve ever seen a big guy push weight on the bench with a 2.5 lbs. on each side?? It doesn’t happen.[/quote]
If you want to see if you can bench 450 (which sounds better than 445) you put the 2 1/2 lbs on each side , just like the BIG GUYS do in competition. In fact, I’ve heard of guys putting washers on the bar, because your strenth doesn’t increase in 10 lb increments.

[quote post="3760"]Houston is a great fighter, but I think Keith Jardine exposed a suspect chin! I would like to see him with a banger in latter rounds! [/quote]
As hard as Jardine hits and as fast as he recovered, I don’t know if you can call that a suspect chin. His cardio does seem suspect though, he was breathing real hard after only 1 minute.

[quote comment="203080"][quote comment="202925"]so what ! Tank could lift big time weights – but he never lifted any belt[/quote]

Tank had no skill and spent most of his time most likely in the strip clubs sucking back brews.[/quote]

Hey, if you have the time and the money to do so, that’s not a bad life.

I don’t know if he can bench the weight or not, but it seems irrelevant to his fighting. I don’t buy into the talk about him being so strong that he’ll gas out, or that his ground game isn’t good enough either. His last fight was on the ground twice–the first time he was on his back and got up, the second time he was on top just brutally TKOing his opponent. I’m not saying he should get a title shot or anything, but he is an extremely entertaining fighter to watch and I do look forward to seeing him fight someone who can hang with him for more than a minute.

[quote comment="203588"][quote comment="203290"][quote comment="203147"]Benching twice his body weight?………….RRROOOOOOIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSS!!! lol[/quote]

That’s the kind of thing a guy who doesn’t lift writes. I can lift 2 x my body weight, and I know a lot of peole who do. It’s not a bid deal.[/quote]

Course you can Care to put it on youtube? Didn’t think so[/quote]

Yea what a big joke that guy is. It is somewhat of a big deal. Not many people can double there weight. IDIOT !!!!!!

[quote comment="202956"]Couple of things…
1. A lot of posts saying “he has no ground game and he has no ground game”…. Really? How do you know? From all those fights you went too? Or because you havent seen it, so you assume its not there.

Supose you are right, good for you… good guess, buts all that is, is a guess.

2. The dude is massive, his legs are huge.

It doesn’t suprise me that he benches 450, but this whole “he is too big to have good cardio” shit is annoying.

Randy is built like a tank, and guess what… has fucking awesome cardio.

Again, people talking out their ass.

They dont know, and again if he gasses out… good for you, good guess… again….

3. Got Rocked by Jardin… Didnt Forrest get KTFO by Jardin… Does Forrest have a suspect chin? I dont think so.

It showed he can take a shot, get up, and crush you.

Thats it, nothing more.

Hell, your beloved Fedor got Rocked, got up, and the dude out, but do you say he has a suspect chin OR did you say, “look at fucking Fedor, he is awesome, he can take a fucking shot and still fucking kill you”.

Here is the deal.

If you end your post in (My Opinion) that is one thing, but many of you state things as fact.

Like you fucking know the dude… I dont, hell I know shit about it, I have seen 7-8 of his local fights here and I cant tell you shit about the dude.

Except he knocks people out, but we all know that.

Get some facts, make a post, but dont generalize about something you know nothing about.

If its an opinion, say so…[/quote]
There are some clips of him fighting on youtube. One especially where he was mounted, then were stood up and he would not return to the fight becuase of claims that his opponent was greased up. that fight was indicative of a poor ground game. And everyone know when ppl post things here, unless you created the STORY that the comments are just ppls opinion, so try not to get too worked up about it

[quote comment="203704"][quote comment="203024"][quote comment="202926"][quote comment="202907"]O ver ra ted! O ver ra ted![/quote]
why do you say that (out of curiousity)?[/quote]

He got rocked by Jardine, who is not a powerful puncher. No one has seen anything else from him except against beating a low level opponent in Sakara. Like Brandon Vera, he doesnt deserve the hype yet.[/quote]
How can you say Jardine is not powerful? He rocked Chuck… and it’s a given, that just doesn’t happen much… and he knocked Forrest out… translation= powerful.[/quote]
…And as far as overrated goes, what he’s done so far… he deserves to be talked about… he knocked out Jardine (who beat Chuck and Forrest, 2 of the toughest 205ers out there) and he won after almost getting KO’d.. you know you’re witnessing a good fighter when he’s hurt and even more dangerous.
