are sperry & kerr still set for the superfight?

if so, what are your predictions?

if not, who is fighting, and what are your predictions?

Kerr will probably win by points or advantages.

The matchup I am looking forward to is a possible B.J. Penn and Royler showdown!!!!

Chop Wisby · 12-27-2000, 10:04 PM

ej;

royler & penn would be a good one.

re: kerr v. sperry; i'll go with sperry. he's a canny point-player.

i agree kerr will probably win by points because of his sizeand great takedowns. unfortunately it would be to sperry's advantage if you'd get more points from working the guard but you don't. the only points you get are if you sweep. sperry will spend most of his time on his back and kerr on top.

i've heard that sperry has a good command of grips/tie-ups; it will interesting to see his standing game vs. kerr; as kerr seems widely expected to get the t/d.

no other opinions?

Sperry is a smart fella and will not play the standup game with Kerr IMO, even though he does have some legit wrestling skill. The smart move would be to pull guard right before the 5-minute mark (before which no points can be scored), and open guard shortly thereafter. A sweep or submission from the guard is Sperry's only real chance of winning.
