Cung Le vs Chris Leben

[ninjastix]

Not going to say much more than already has been said... Leban is too sloppy and Cung is too smart... I don't know if it's a TKO cause Chris can take a ton of punishment... but easily a UD or a possible TKO in mid-later round III

Leban will get KO'd in the first IMO, he's too wild and has no defense.

i'm not saying that Chris is as good of a striker as Frank, I never did

but Chris does have alot of power (more than frank) so if he would be able to push cung to the fence like Frank did, he always has the chance of landing that 1 big punch, which is sometimes all that it takes..

a blind kid could tell that frank is the better striker than leben...lol...but sometimes good power with a good chin is enough to win you a fight...

but like i said earlier i would still put my money on cung

i was going to say the same thing. frank looked pretty good when he muscled cung up against the fence, but looked like shit just standing and trading. could be cung's achilles heel being backed up by a stronger guy. leben could pull off and upset.... but probably would be another a.silva fight.

I think Leben wouldn't stay on the outside and be as hesitant. If Leben could get the take down then it would be a better fight than what Frank presented. I think entirely too much distance was given by Frank - I know he tried for the takedown, but that was the deciding factor, IMO. So if Leben could offer that other possibility, the fight would be more equal; granted that may be a big if. But I'd like to see the fight, nonetheless.

Leben might have a chance. shit we know the dude can take a punch and Cung's power isnt that great. I think Leben could rush him eat a few punches take him down and possibly submit him....only thing is he might eat a "boot to da head"nstead of a punch and that would be bad...

To say Cung has no power doesn't make sense. He has had like 11 or 12 KO's in K1 and he just broke Franks arm. Why do you guys think he has now power.

Im not sayin he has no power i just think he lacks that one punch KO power....his kicks however are brutal, thats what broke Franks arm.

Le by KO.

It could work with a good striker but Leban isn't one. Frank used great technique to set those right hands up.

Dude I've seen Cung knock people the fuck out with punches, where the hell are you getting this from?

i think that if randy could come up with a good game plan for leben and beat the idea into his brain that he has to close the distance and stay inside to set up some take downs and push le onto the fence, so that he doesnt try to stay on the outside and exchange, then i would say leben has a pretty decent chance of winning
