Which is correct? is this another case of that cursed new england area trying to usurp sports? So I thought Matt Boestch was from Subury PA, not Maine.

Most of the times I've seen two top tier wrestlers or BJJ fighters tangle, they have too much respect for each other and it turns into a striking contest. Boetsch's striking looks better to me, and I can't imagine why he'd want to play to Hamill's strength by going to the ground. Sprawl and brawl. I don’t think this fight will depend on wrestling.

I didn't know this fight was even happening till now. (Boetsch vs. Hamill) Boetsch is a monster and I predict him moving up fast in his division. I can only hope that he doesn't crumble like Houston did. Holy shit. I didn’t know this fight was even happening till now. (Boetsch vs. Hamill)

I was loving Tim's fight against Heath but I think Hamill will GnP his way to a 2nd rd TKO .... I do think that both of these fighters have a ton of potential and won't be going anywhere but up from here funny thing is Hamill is the better wrestler .. has competed on a international level and won… I was loving Tim’s fight against Heath but I think Hamill will GnP his way to a 2nd rd TKO ….

I'm really excited about this fight, and although I'm not sure his wrestling is better than Hamill, it's the areas where the game overlaps that I think will win Boetsch the fight. Hamill's last fight was lost, I believe, in his sloppy transitions between takedowns attempts and striking. I still thinnk he beat Bisping, but i feel that's where the judges took points away.

I agree as well when I think Boetsch will win too. I think his all around game will be utilized in a 3 round unanimous decision victory to make him 2-0 in the Octagon and ready to take on a A level fighter to prove his worth.

This will be a real test for him. Tim showed no 1st timers "Octagon Shock" and if he comes in with the same mindset that he had for the David Heath fight then I think Boetsch via decision.

Hamill has a great wrestling resume, but his striking is suspect at best. He still drops his hands after a few minutes, and a good chin won't save him against a powerful striker. If Hamill wins, he has increased credibility and proves he isn't just an overhyped TUF alumnus. On the other hand, if Boetsch wins, he proves he isn't a "flash in the pan" and his win against Heath, whose conditioning and readiness seemed suspect, wasn't a fluke. I like what I've seen from Boetsch, and think he'll prevail. This will be a turning point for the winner. Hamill has a great wrestling resume, but his striking is suspect at best.
