Inocente vs Dennis was a complete mismatch. Glory should be investigated for that match-up.
Dabs what are you talking about? The two guys have almost the same height and weight with Dennis just a little bit heavier and taller. On the other hand this is a heavyweight fight where size and weight could be substantial different but always above the 210 pounds. However, in this case was a perfect match between such dimensions but with a Brazilian much more seasoned and with better resources than Dennis. I hope he is OK because the kick was brutal.
Look at the records and skill sets!! A fight is about much more than size…
A fight easily won by timely connecting excellent and several low kicks that chopped down the big tree. A mismatch in terms of experience and also sizes which in fact was a kind of compensation. As expected Silva took the lead early winning the fight with no problems.
Morales was robbed in his fight against Kasey Green who should dedicate his pseudo efforts to fight in another field than kickboxing since he is useless, just look at his miserable record. Shame to the judges of Glory that are all American or pro American. Morales was technicall far superior connecting very precise punches and body kicks.
Second fight was a nice one and quite active. An easy win for the American Abraham who was very aggressive and quite precise with his hands, kicks and knees. Abraham is technically sound and may be the best suited and with more resources from these group of Americans that are just getting involved in kick boxing thanks to Glory championships.
Dabs, I will agree with you in this area since all the Americans participating in Glory are all newcomers or have very poor records. However, all enter in the ring in search of glory. Unfortunately, they don’t have the experience of all the other kick boxers around the world who were practising this sport for long. Per your argument Glory championships should be canceled for good and you know this would be almost impossible.
You complaint about this fight because Dennis received a brutal high kick that I fully agree may be very bad for his future health/career. However, please check the records/experience of all the other Americans participating in the other fights carried on in this championship and you will find the same problem (e.g. Abraham’s fight, Grenne’s fight, etc), however these guys were more lucky than Dennis. If you take this into consideration I fully agree with you Glory shouldn’t exist at all.
You are making light of it Tango. The record he had was horrible, he almost has as many losses as wins. He hasn’t fought the same calibre of opponent. It was the worst matchup on the card by far.
Worst record in this event Kasey Green
