tough call… going with Huerta by decision. Gonna be a great one.

I hope these guys don’t come out passive because they are the main draw. What makes their fights so good is the energy these guys have from beginning to end. Guida says he wants this fight to be fight of the year. Hope so.

Who do you think will win? And who do you want to win?

I REALLY want Clay Guida to win - a big fan. However, I think that Guida will have to finish Huerta in order to win the fight. I do not see Guida winning a decision. Just look back to his fight with Tyson Griffin and ESPECIALLY Marcus Aurelio. The fight with Aurelio was one of the more one sided fights I have seen in a while. Two judges gave it to Guida 30-27, and the third judge gave it to Aurelio 29-28. WTF??? Seeing that Roger Huerta is the UFC’s Mexican Golden Boy, I do not see Huerta losing a decision. Also, did you notice the commercials for the finale last night? I think the announcer puts waaaay too strong of a Mexican accent on when he says “Roger Huerta”. He sure can roll those R’s emphatically

Nothing against Guida, but I have to back a fellow Texan. Huerta by UD.

Guida by TKO Round 2

I honestly don’t have any idea who will win this one. My instinct says Guida, simply because he’s fought tougher competition. I’m pulling for Huerta, but I won’t be too disappointed if Guida wins. It will probably end up being a decision for one of them.

Guida decision in an all out war.

Yeah I noticed the announcer tryinmg to be a chicano. Also I herd them announce the day and time in spanish on one of those commercials.

VM: I agree with your assesment of the fight. Huerta, being the mexican golden boy, and having a very active fighting style will get the decision. Guida is gonna have to finish him. I am a fan of both guys, I dont really care which one wins and moves up the latter because they are both very talented, exciting fighters, with a ton of potential. I am gonna sit back and enjoy the fight. I wonder who is the fasvorite and what the odds are (probably Huerta).

this fight goes the distance for sure. can guida hold heurta down? can guida neutralize heurta’s kicks? the rest is dead even. a lot of action man.

Huerta win by UD.

I think this could be a last minute entry for fight of the year. Both of these guys are really tough.

Its their first time headlining. Not going to be fight of the year. Guida has too much experience for Huerta. UFC wants Huerta to win so they can explore the Latino market. We are going to get a good look at Huertas guard and half

I totally agree with everything in this post. Don’t get me wrong, Huerta is awesome. But I also feel Guida completely dominated that fight with Aurelio. That 29-28 score for Aurelio was embarrassing. I actually feel that Guida won the Tyson Griffin fight. It was much closer but I’d give the edge to Guida.

And that commercial is brutal!!!! hahaha

mania can really mesh some pictures huh!?

This is going to be a sweet matchup….. its weird though …. im from san antonio and im mexican , so i told my boy i was going for guida and was like WTF.. can go against your own.. haha i like both fighters and dont care what the outcome is as long as its a good fight.. i say guida will win. but that night i guess im rooting for huerta….

the odds have to be close..this fight is to close to call. either 1st or 2nd round tko/ko stoppage Clay/or Roger..or a 3round war..split decesion to..I don’t know.

If Huerta wins this one, it will legitamize some of the hype.

Agreed. A win for Huerta legitimizes some hype. Winner of this fight should fight Florian for contendership.

WARRRRRRRR GUIDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

[quote post=”4135″]Agreed. A win for Huerta legitimizes some hype. Winner of this fight should fight Florian for contendership. [/quote]

Agreed. Also, it may be the unpopular opinion but I call Huerta winning by ref stoppage/tko in the second round. HE has better hands, kicks, and can take a hit. Also, he has really just walked through everyone that he was up against. Sure it has not been the same level of competition as Guida, but he disposed of his fights easily. In the Doug Evans fight after the first round, he looked just upset with his performance and in the second, kicked it into another gear and just demolished him. I sincerely believe that Roger has more ability than Guida and simply has not needed to use it. It is as if he can just flip a switch and step it up.

Guida is as tough as they come, the best cardio, his submission defense is fantasticbut he does not possess knockout power or the strongest submission skills. I just don’t think he has the skillset to beat Roger, unless he outworks him and Huerta gasses. And it has been covered before, if it does go to a decision, it will probably go El Matador’s way, whether fair or not

UFC 90 Roger Huerta versus BJ Penn for lightwieght title

Great posts - I enjoyed reading them.

In the end Huerta may be too strong. Having said this, Huerta does leave himself open on occasion. Unless Clay catches him, I am thinking Huerta.

Both fighters have my absolute respect.

On a totally seperate note, why is Mike Goldberg such a flaming cheeseball? he really gets under my skin. with his stupid little fist pump when he says “ill see you next time inside the octagon” on UFC unleashed. he annoys me!

Maybe the weed and ’shrooms are the only way Rogan can stand to listen to him for four hours at a time.

Huerta wins by a hair(cut)!

I don’t know. Guida has been robbed by the judges before and it’s not like the UFC wanting their golden boy losing, much like the Bisping Hamill affair.

Let’s wait and see.

John, I am REALLY lookin forward to this finale!!!! If I didn’t just buy a new bed room set and a Samsung 4061F LCD TV over the last two weeks, I can’t afford to buy the Mayweather/Hatton fight. I would have loved to watch the TUF finale, then switch channels to Mayweather/Hatton. I watching the finale at home, so I guess I’ll call a few bars and see if they will be showing the PPV.

P.S. Pretty Boy Floyd / Money Mayweather is the only boxer I have paid to watch in a looooooooong time. I have been a fan of his for 10 years. I’ve been watching him fight since 1998.

good fight, can’t wait for this war, hope huerta wins, either one will have a hard time against ken flo hopefully for title shot

Floyd used the prize money from his first pro fight to buy a bicycle, which he has used in the ring to escape from all of his subsequent opponents.

I pick Guida by upset stoppage. If it goes to ground Guida is way too good for him.

I predict Huerta win,though I wish that this fight does not go the distance, because decisions always elave room for doubt. I want to see a fellow Texican get the win he deserves. Huerta is great in everything, the only real weaknes i see is him becoming too confident and losing on the ground in round 2 when they both start to gas a little.

as for Floyd Mayweather Jr. VS. Hatton, Hatton´s the better boxer personality, but Mayweather is little short of a boxing-wonder. It will be a bloody war, and I´m sure Pretty Boy will get the first cuts to his face in his life handed to him by Hatton, lose his super-confident cool when he sees his blood drip on the canvas and get KO´d by a body shot uppercut-combo by Hatton. We will see, it´s definetly the only match I would watch besides any Klitschko matches, there´s nobody else truly good left except for them and Hopkins (maybe) in boxing.

and besides, Mayweather getting KO´d just might set his personality straight, and it would do the boxing world more good, if he stopped mouthing and showing off like that. Muhammad Ali did the same, yes, buzt back then there were more great fighters to distract yourself with.

Man I hope Guida can beat Huerta. Huerta is ALL hype. I’ve never seen anybody been built up, and believed to be so good when there is no real evidance behind it except hype.

Guida should win, he has the tools and proven himself to be dominent in LW div. Huerta Will win if it goes the distance, simply because he is the little UFC poster boy now. Guida got robbed of the Tyson Griffin fight, and I really like the way he handled it, he is a great sport, however I see the judges calling this one already. Huerta is not all that good, but he has staying power and that will get him the decision. I hope for Guida to win by KO. probably won’t happen, but I’d be very happy if it did….

I think this is the fight where we find out of Huerta is for real. I’d like to see Guida win amd think it will be a dominant performance for Guida.

That said, my predictions have pretty much sucked in the past so noone bet based on my opinion! I doubt the UFC would give their future poster boy this test if he wasn’t up to it though.

I did not like the way he fought Oscar. The last time that Mayweather fought an opponent that likes to simply bang and move forward was against Arturo Gatti. Gatti took the beating of his life. Well, one of em, because he has taken many beatings over his career. I think that Ricky Hatton will force the action which will make for a much more exciting fight than the De La Hoya fight.

huerta is stronger than guida so the takedowns will not be as easy as guida expects and also the few times that huerta has been taken down he hasnt stood back up immediatly becuz he didnt want to i highly doubt that guida can hold him down , i think huerta should come out and finish guida in the first by TKO that way all the haters can stop dissing huerta, although i think it would be hard to finish him in the first, i really dont see guida winning this one

all i have to say is that vitali Klitshko is the shit, damn injuries and stripping of titles he would of made history by having the belt at same time as his bro

Huerta is definately the real deal, but I think this fight is too close to call. Guida does tend to leave himself open but I don’t think Huerta has the power to knock him out (or anyone else in the lightweight division for that matter). You saw how well Guida did against Tyson and I expect a similiar fight with Huerta. Huerta will probably take the decision unless guida, with his superior wrestling, can hold him down.

huerta via split decision.

I have enjoyed a few Mayweather fights too… he is hands down the most gifted fighter since early Roy Jones jr…. But it is so frustating, as a fan… to watch a guy so talented he can run in.. 3-4 punches.. run out. and never be in any danger what so ever.. he can do that because of his talent, and he can put us to sleep because of it.. love to see some Hatton bodyshots wear him down, make for some great later rounds… I’ll be watching TUF finale.

the simple fact that Hatton likes to stay close gives away his strategy: don´t let mayweather back off, but invite him in and once he´s in,which even this defensive striker will do due to his overdose of confidence, get him good up close and work him progressively to one side of that gigantic ring.
that´s among the best things in UFC: the cage gives such close proximity that no one can chicken out and bicycle distances to stay away from defeat, you just have to see Silva vs. Ortiz, Silva catches Ortiz badly with a hook to the head and Ortiz scrambles to get away from him only to find himself muscled more by teh Axe Murderer.

Huerta has to prove himself against Clay by KO or tapping him out, because the judges´scoring,even if he should win, should do him and the UFC more harm than good.
Guida on the other hand has the task of shredding UFC´s poster boy to pieces,a task that wont come easy, since Huerta is made of some damn tough paper
