GOD DAMN IT!

I dropped $400 on two front row tickets and I wanted to see this fight. I think Bowles is a great fighter and that would be a guarenteed war.

I’m not sure about this Mizugaki I have never seen him, so I can’t say for sure but I don’t want to risk it.

Although I had never heard of Yoshira Maeda until his fight of the century with Torres as well, so maybe I’ll get lucky.

Torres is a warrior. Torres doesn’t sleep, he waits.

Just read elsewhere that Bowles suffered a back injury, and had to withdraw. It’s really a shame, as this was going to be a great match up. Saw Bowles last two victories over Page and Ribeiro, and Miguel Torres is a major stud. His knockout victory over Manny Tapia was really strong.

Not familiar with Mizugaki, but he better bring the “A” game against Miguel Torres. With an official record of 35-1, Torres claims 48 victories against one defeat. I’ve read some discussion of Torres as one of the top P4P fighters active today, and with a record like that, I don’t think you could argue against that.

Wish quick healing to Bowles, and continued dominance to Torres.

What a shame. Was looking forward to Bowles v Torres. Seems more and more fighters receive injuries leading up to their respective fights than ever before.

Bringing someone in to fight for the title? There is already plenty of talent in the WEC to take Bowles’ place. Hopefully they considered their current roster of fighters first before going out and recruiting someone for a title shot.
