Official: Stefan Struve vs. Dave Herman

[Masterino]

Struve will come away the winner provided he doesnt let Herman bongo his head in lol

[GUNNER2010]

Big KO for Herman

yup

[kendamac]

Struve by amazing comback ko!!!!

[Asso]

Struve will suprise everyone with his striking ability. Struve by submission round 2.

I think this is highly likely too. I think as long as Struve isn't fighting a premier striker (barring an accident) he should be good.

[ccc]

Struve have to much skills and is a better fighter Struve have to much skills and is a better fighter
Herman,Barry,Morecraft,Gormley,Buentello,Neto,McCorkle,Stojnic that
Are tuf oponents but not the same level as Struve

And wenn Struve is in his full potencial about 2 ore 3 years
Than he will be more a force against the top level top 10 fighters
And than he will not make the same mistakes like against Browne
Struve was bettet in that fight he did a flying knee in the sky and
His defence was open,but he learnt from that,against Nelson
We al know now Nelson is a tuf oponent,Schaub also lost big against him
Against JDS is not a shame,Cain lost quicker than Struve in that fight

After his win i want to see him fight against
Schaub,Kongo,Russow ore Gonzaga

If he win that also than a rematch against Browne ore Nelson
Ore a Other Top 10 fighter

The loss to JDS is not a shame indeed, taking to regard the boy had just turned 21, weighed only 235 pounds=nothing for his frame. Now he actually cuts down to 265.

vs struve =54 sec
vs cain =1:5

[Edgardo]

I got Struwe on this one, but Pewee (cool that he got that nickname and quite amusing to call a fighter that) is no joke.
I think Struwe will outstrike him, and possible get the submission. I don't think pewee want's to test his chin against this fighter.

I'm pretty sure he wieghed in at 256 not 265, but ive been wrong before. I dont have much faith in struve at this point but i do like his heart.

Im Hawaiian so it was quite a treat to see Browne kick his ass!

[FEAR]

Struve will suprise everyone with his striking ability. Struve by submission round 2.

Dave Herman wouldn't lose by submission, he doesn't believe jiu-jitsu works ...
but seriously Struve might win this if he keeps the fight standing and Dave Herman tries to swing. However I believe Dave Herman has the better ground game.

[rush2389]

Couldn't Herman cut down to LHW, he weighed in at 234 pounds so making 205 is not out of the question if he just watched what he ate and cut 20 pounds like all the other guys do. He'd be a much different fighter and I think a lot more dangerous at LHW then at HW. Dudes like Cain, JDS, Steriod (I mean Overeem) and now Mir would eat him alive just on pure size alone

i got $30 on Struve at the +110 line I think he takes this by fighting it smart and using his height/reach to his advantage and avoiding the brawl style Herman will try to impose. If this goes to the ground I also think Struve has some of the best snearky submissions in the heavywiehgt divisions. He just slaps on those triangles so fast, even when transitioning from other submisissons; the skyscraper is serious. He's also fought WAY better guys than Herman and those losses build you as a fighter a lot; espcially such a young guy.

It is heavy weight though so anything can happen and Struve has been known to get KOed by guys with Dave's style. But I still got my money on Struve. The heart he showed in some of his old fights where i remember him being beaten to a pulp and still slapping a choke for the win. I think he can wather the early storm and comeback for the win. WAR SKYSCRAPER!!!!

Struve will suprise everyone with his striking ability. Struve by submission round 2.

Haha this is a total contradiction.

Yo, what part is hard to understand? Well, He will suprise with improved striking and will get the dominant positions on the ground therefore getting the sub win. Comprende?

Yo, you could have elaborated the first time. Lighten up amigo. Your prediction just looked funny to the casual thread passerby.

Why elaborate when it is clear. If you are a thread passerby why are you even commenting??

on topic: Struve is being fairly written off already whats up with that. I think his improved striking will suprise everyone. Plus this is a big step up in comp for Herman, struve has fought has fought some of the best in the octagon and will be more relaxed than Herman possibaly. Could see herman gas in the 1st and struve pickhim apart from the outside.

This^^ as long as he can keep calm and keep out of harms way in the beginning, letting Herman punch
himself out.. he can win.
