Ill go ahead and take lebanner in this one.
beautiful stand up fight. i think it will be good, but lebanner will be more explosive and quick. Sylvia is more well rounded, lebanner just being a kickboxer. sylvia has far more experience. but Sylvia will stay on the feet and eventually get taken out in a highlight real.

sylvia cant get his head in the game.
if hes tested with a good shot, he rolls over and waits for a sub and taps.
did nog even really apply anything to tim? i think he was just getting position to really do something when tim tapped.
fedor kicked his ass, but rolling around like a jackass waiting for the opportunity to tap doesnt really further the image of a solid fighter.
he is halfhearted in his trade.

My prediction here is that Sylvia will be swingin’ for the fences and try to come out aggressive, just to shut his critics up. But still, I ain’t a fan of Sylvia, so nothin’ wrong with seein’ him lose!

Me too. Sylvia = 1 dimensional striker. Lebanner = even better striker.

Sorry tim its gonna be another tough night for ya mate.

LeBanner would eat Sylvia alive, only hope timmy has is to get the take down and lay n pray, theres no cage this time to do what he did to brandon vera

Sylvia is gonna try to strike against a guy with far more experience and technique than him (when it comes to the stand up part of the game). It’s a very dangerous fight for Timmy. I think LeBanner takes it just because he can easily outstrike Tim Sylvia

LeBanner would have destroyed CroCop had they fought at one of the previous DREAM events. I’ll give LeBanner the nod to win this math-up. I read CroCop was offered Semmy Schilt for DREAM.6, but declined the fight, maybe he didn’t want to be annihilated by the best heavy/superheavyweight kickboxer on the planet.
