Nobody is going to take four or five Brian Bowles punches to the chin at 135 pounds, nobody. Thanks metalmulisha! :-)

I've been known to be at times. I just think people are looking past Bowles, but he has a lot of tools to give Torres problems. Mizugaki vs. Torres was fairly competetive and I think Bowles is very similar to Mizugaki stylistically, just better. We'll see, it's gonna be good one way or the other. HaHa.

Even with these i don't really see bowles being able to beat torres with the exception of a punchers chance. i'm not hating on bowles i just don't think it's his time yet. Is the winner of benevidaz/cruz suppose to be the next in line for a title shot? the only thing bowles has over torress is strength,power,and wrestling.

He is a dominant champion, and has never been stopped in almost forty fights. I've seen Brian Bowles fight, and for 135, he's unusually strong. He's a strong stand up striker, and maintains his composure on the ground. While Bowles doesn't have near the experience Torres does, from what I've seen, his style will match up well against Torres, and these guys should put on an entertaining contest. Torres has to be favored, with his excellent record and previous title defenses, but if Bowles proves to be as well conditioned as Torres has shown he can be, we could be looking at another classic matchup.

I believe he will finish the fight by KO or SUB. I do not see it going to the judges. Brian does bring a good all round game into the cage but I think Miguel will catch him and end it inside of 25 minutes. Of all of Brian Bowles's fights in the WEC I've only picked him to lose two times. This time agaist Torres and when he fought Demacio Page. Brian showed tremendous heart against Page. All of his fight's, like Miguel's, have been nothing short of fantastic and I expect more of the same come Sunday. This weekend I have a local show on Friday night, UFC 101 on Saturday & WEC 42 on Sunday. Looking forward to an awesome weekend. BAM! My money is on Miguel Torres this Sunday.

Yes he has some real power but not against the types of fighters Torres has fought. I see this fight going like the fight with Tapia, Torres will be to much.

Oh wait, that was on another post. LOL. It's cool. Bowles is a talented guy, but IMO Miguel dominates him. I can't wait to see this fight.
