I kind of Enjoyed Silva/Leites

I loved it. I could watch Anderson all night. He's completely unbeatable. I love watching a guy on such a ridiculously high level. Same with Mayweather, though the huge difference is that Anderson can and looks for the finish at any moment.

Silva is just ridiculous, i have no idea why Leites was in the same ring as him.

48-47?!

Anderson Silva don't deserve to be argued against Fedor for the number 1 spot. He could have go for the kill. I hated that fight, Silva seems bored or I don't know, put him vs Marquartd at least, we will have a fight. Not a fuckin circus act.

I downloaded the fight today.it was awesome.He was calm n cool

and he was even unfazed on the ground.


Im sick of all the flat footed brawlers of mma.

I enjoyed watching Anderson Silva work for 5 rounds. So what if he doesn't blow out every fighter in the first round. It's still a treat to watch him fight.

I hated the fight. I still feel better watching fedor, penn, gsp or maia than him.

I just hate when Silva is arms length in front of his opponent and starts pawing or waving his hands when he could be drilling Leites at will. He said he will have a better preformance next time but he said the same thing after the cote fight.

but as much as people have been complaining he hasn't been even close to losing in yrs so he's obviously doing something right.

I can't blame it all on silva cuz he tried to fight but leites is a lil biatch and didnt want no part of silva. He kept going on the ground when silva didn't even attempt for a takedown. I would like to see silva fight someone who is aggressive so we can see a knockout.

Im a huge fan of Silva, read my posts. But Im also a very objective fan of MMA.

I was watching the fight last night but maybe its just me who saw Leites flopping exhausted, badly beaten in the 4th round. MAybe it was my eyes deceiving me but thats what I saw on TV. I could be wrong.

Now, take this to the next level.

I think during the first round when Leites was FRESH he took Silva down. He was on top of Silva if I remember correctly with plenty of energy to spare.

Leites if youre familiar with is a Mundial caliber top of the food chain JJ guy whos top game is absurd. He was able to do shit, nill to Silva while on top. This is what I saw.

Then in the 4th round, Silva seems still relatively fresh, was standing over a beaten man for almost two rounds who had no chance to submit him. I swear this is what happened.

Whats the moral of the story?
Honestly, I love Silva but last night both him and Leites stank up the joint.

What amazes me is the physical advantages Silva has against other Middleweights, while not even being a big weight cutter. He is not a big framed, massive guy, but his reach and speed and timing are so much better its almost...unfair. If he really was 182lbs last night, he couldlikely make 170, scary thought.

This is exactly what I observed after rewatching the fight. Rounds 1-3 were a fight in where Leitas had something left, but Silva wore Leitas down in round 3, and in rounds 4/5, Leitas was gassed yet Silva looked bored and no longer interested in the fight.
