Arlovski vs Silvia
- Thread starter Andrew Green
- Start date
As Former Boxers say, Power is the last thing to go! The Pit Bull got what he deserved in my opinion. Trying to punch with a puncher, a definite no no.
I see him landing his shot, knocking him down, going in for the finish and leaving himself open cause he was thinking he had the win before he did.
Yup! assumption is the Mutha.... Either way, Arlovski is a much more talented fighter. Tim is pretty one dimensional, punching for the most part. Arlovski played Tim's game and lost, serves him right.

and a valuable learning experience.
Man I wish that had played out differently. Having won your last 6 fights or so all in the first round puts pressure on you to go for the kill....stupid mistake. Arlovski is the better fighter, but as they say, anything can happen.

Leading with the chin is never a good idea.
Arlovski is the better fighter but at any given time things unexpected happen

hmmmm, I saw a guy get hit and go down, and keep enough of himself together to keep his feet inbetween him and the other guy. I also saw Silvia stand up as soon as possible even though he was partial exposed. It is not the easiest to hit a moving target as spectators and watchers think. I also saw Silvia hit with I though a nice shot to the chin and then hit Arlovski again before he could get up. He did not place his head away from the other guy. The second shot slowed Arlovski even more and then Silvia fell on him and just punched until he won.
Lots of lessons to learn in there, for me at least.

I was wondering if that was the case. As it has not been released to video or public viewing yet.

if you do a search on google you can see the fight.
If you watch the slow-mo replays closely, especially the birds eye view.....you can see that silvia hits arlovski on the neck, right around the carotid sinus.....sleepy time.

Whatever the outcome it sure sounds like an interesting fight!
Hopefully the rematch will be even better!

This was the first time that I'd seen Arlovski fight. He sure is fast, for a heavy weight. I agree with the previous sentiments - he tried to fight Sylvia's game, and that turned out to be a mistake. I don't think standing is a reasonable way to try and beat Sylvia - it's far too likely he'll hit you, hard. And with Sylvia, it just takes one.
I hope he didn't swallow his fangs!
