    Hardy’s legit, no doubt. Hyun-Kim’s got some serious striking too though. This fight is gonna be exciting as all hell

    Definitely a good matchup between two good prospects. Hyun-Kim is a good fighter but i think he’s gonna be up against it facing Hardy in England. I’d look for Hardy to take a decision.

    I’m thinking the stun gun will pull this one off. I really like both fighters, but I just have a feeling he’ll eke out a decision. Is is just me or does Hardy look like a small welterweight? Looks like he could easily drop to 155. Just a thought.

    Kim’s “loss” was barely that…

    Nobody thought Pariysan won that lackluster fight….

    I did.

    However, I also thought it was one of the most boring fights Ive ever seen.
