Wrong vid adam, hat was good as well though
“that was good i mean”….typing in a cast………….
Whoops!
Did Rich have a black eye perminantly tatooed on?
I’m with you, Jeremy - I always double check a video interview with Rich by date to figure out if this is a post or pre - fight interview. Otherwise, I’d never know. He’s usually carrying a prominent dent on his face.
This is a tough call because I like both fighters so much, and I know that a purist is able to root for a good fight without rooting against anybody, but nonetheless, tough fight. Hamill’s strength and weight are factors - as Rich said, will Hamill be able to keep him (Franklin) on his back?
Matt Hamill believes he can do anything. Stand-up and trade or ground and pound. If he is arrogant enough to think he can stand and exchange with Rich Franklin than he is in for a rude awakening. If he can mix in occasional strikes with consistent takedowns and punishing gnp he could get a decision victory. I don’t see him doing that with Rich. Matt Hamill gnp is average at best, so i see Rich picking him apart on the feet and avoiding significant damage on the ground. Rich 3rd round Tko.
