This talk of Penn gassing is interesting. This has not always been the case. It was when he moved up in weight his cardio was suspect. How about this. Does anyone remember a fight at 155 that he came out of shape? Bj can't get down to 155 without working his ass of.
What's funny about this cardio theory is that it will be an excuse for Sherk advocates if Penn finishes him early. They'll say "if it went into later rounds penn was in trouble." This isn't a marathon it's an MMA fight. Who is the better all around MMA fighter? Can we take cardio into consideration? Of course, however it seems there is just too much stock put into only that.
BJ's skill set is superior to Sherks overall. I gave my prediction before, and I stand by it. But hey i'd love for this to go into later rounds so i get more for my money. But it won't.
