GSP vs. Alves

[dan the man 67]

Who takes it?

[Palma]

GSP would take him down and control him at will... Alves is the current hype at 170...

[AJL416AZ]

take him down and lay on him maybe


i think Thiago can beat GSP by 09. by KO.

he just needs to get his wrestling and escape game up a little more, he easily got up when Karo took him down, and defended Karo inside the clinch. i already know he can outstrike GSP, and i doubt GSP can sub him.

or take him down and wear him out and submit him...somewhat easily.

Shouldn't this thread be Serra and Alves?

tko maybe sub easily? i dunno his escape / defense on the ground is getting better every day and gsp isn't exactly a bjj blackbelt or something..

gsp by tko in the 5th if it's a title fight. dec otherwise.

[leedogg900]

gsp by easy domination, tko or sub in the 2nd or 3rd.

not knockling alves but he got destroyed by fitch. and gsp can easily take alves down and pound him.

This is a much closer fight then most figure. GSP has been KO'd before and Serra isn't the striker that Alves is. I still think that GSP will win but he could get caught and would that really surprise any of us?

yeah it would be suprising. its funny how since gsp lost to serra ppl think that he can get knocked out so easily. if u watch the replay gsp took mad shots to the chin and the head, back of the head, and he wasnt even KO'd, he was tkod. im not saying it was lucky but come on, that couldnt have gone any more perfectly for serra.

matt serra might not be the striker that alves is, but he has way more power in his hands then alves does. alves is a good striker because of his kicks, his boxing is only slightly above average and i think its not much better or any better then gsps personally. alves was getting destroyed by chris lytle before the cut and i know he would have lost if the fight continued. people are giving alves WAY to much credit here. GSP would just take him down and destroy him worse then we've ever seen.

IMO alves would take the worst beating of his life.

At this stage, GSP wins.
