horwich is a fuckin juggernaut, but he was increasingly predictable, he also got a good shot in the first round, blinding watson in one eye for the rest of the fight, watsons a fucking warrior tho for busting out of those sleepers.
Matt won this fight. Tom landed cleaner shots in the 3rd and may have stolen the 5th but Matt scored takedowns every round, landed big head kicks & devastating knees & totally dominated rounds 1, 2 & 4. When he wasn't stalling against the cage, the undefeated Watson spent the entire fight back peddling from the advancing Horwich. After the fight Watson headed to the Hospital with what GSP described to me in the elevator as a "broken face." Matt was in the bar taking pictures with his fans.
tom rocked big time,matt horwich had him in 2 massive rear naked chokes and still couldnt finish it,tom out smashed him big time it was awesome cant wait to see tom fight again
@therage001- I was at the fight in the second row on the floor. Tom didn't dominate anything. He almost got put to sleep in the first round. His face was literally turning purple. I personally think Matt should have won, but Tom did score cleaner shots
@87IlDuce yeah i saw the replay last week. kong was getting dominated on the ground early on, kept giving him his back if i recall correctly. he was good enough standing to take it though which was good. matt is very experienced. i think there will be good things from kong, especially with the camp hes in. just read a comment above, can't believe that guy has matt winning it.
