couture will crush vera
yeah I dont think vera has a chance. Randy just fought brock at 280, nog at 230 and now he is going to fight vera at 205. Vera has not looked good at all at 205, he beat reese andy in a very boring decision, he lost to Jardene and he beat krystoph in another boring decision.
I’m a pretty big fan of Vera’s and I was trying think of a way that he could win this fight, but dammit, I just don’t see it happening!!!! While youth and quickness is on his side, sooner or later Randy is going to get a hold of him and will most likely pound out a decision. You have to give Vera a pardon with his fight against Reese Andy, simply because it was his first go around at 205, but as for his subsequent fights, I have no idea what happened to that guy who was so leathal and dynamic at heavyweight. He seems to have lost power and certainly momentum since dropping down.
Of course, you can’t completely count out Vera, I still believe he has it in him to make a big statement and becoming a force in the division. However, unless he beats Randy by devastating fashion (strikes or submission), it’ll be more of a question as to whether or not Randy was old, as opposed to how great Vera was.
The bottom line is that Vera has to win this fight!!!!
