Struve vs. Hunt on all heavy weight fight card

http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news;_ylt=AiaF7cDuG6hQjy72hKzv5NKxEo14?slug=mmaweekly-78b443befb408a706bf7bb504dd34563


I see hunt working the slip and unloading on struve. round 1 maybe round 2 ko win for hunt.

I say Hunt wins in under 3 mins by savage KO; the kind where Struve gets KO'd, but instead of falling straight to the ground, he leans back and hangs there for about a half-second like he's howling at the moon, then his knees buckle and he awkwardly falls backward into a weird, lanky heap on the ground (and in typical Struve fashion, it's takes him like 7 seconds to actually hit the ground).

Hunt will be a win away from a title shot after this one.

The Australian-Samoan has really turned his career around. He lacks the ground game big time though.

My father, his cousin is from Australia and he met Mark Hunt through a friend many years ago.

Pretty much this.

Struve is a great fighter, but he is such a slow starter and always takes a beating in that first round. Hunt was really sharp in his last fight and I see him KO'ing struve within 3 min.

Agreed...I see Hunt with a nice first round KO

Marr-Khunt

i think the height and reach advantage will be an issue.
struve is working hard on establishing his jab.
if he has his jab going for him i see struve easily outworking hunt getting hunt down and subbing him with ease.

True enough. Submissions is Hunt's Achilles heel.
