Because of that, it's probably hard to find guys willing to risk getting their asses kicked versus guys who pose legitimate threats.<br /><br />Andre has been looking great. In my opinion, he's in line behind Arce and Jenkins in terms of getting called up to the big show.Jim Geniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12353993336021805497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467711302186081904.post-71251537937971133682014-04-06T17:25:07.294-04:002014-04-06T17:25:07.294-04:00I think Arce is very talented.

I was shocked when he lost to serment, but hey anything can happen. I think there's a good chance he'll catch Hobbs in a rnc or guillotine. I don't necessarily believe that will be the fight that gets him a call to the show. But I define think it's a strong probabilty after a few more wins.<br /><br />I've seen some of Wood's fights, out of the 5 amateur fights, 3 of them never fought again. He's only gone the distance once - on paper he looks great, and I'm not discounting that he's got power, you don't win almost all of us fights in the 1st rnd without it. I was just surprised that it's who the ROC decided to give him the nod right out of the gate. I would have expected Barrett to face someone that would help propel him to the next level, I don't see a victory over woods doing that. (although losing to woods could prove catastrophic) <br /><br />Also, what do you think about Andre Harrison? His last few fights have looks really good <br /><br /> Mike Morrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467711302186081904.post-88359544945160254542014-03-27T19:54:56.012-04:002014-03-27T19:54:56.012-04:00I have no problem with the Woods match-up - he'...I have no problem with the Woods match-up - he's got four pro fights and five amateur fights, he's undefeated in all of them, and most of his wins are KOs or TKOs. He could be a tough fight for Brendan.<br /><br />No love for James Jenkins? I have him and Julio Arce as the next fighters to get the call to the big leagues.Jim Geniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12353993336021805497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467711302186081904.post-86232450825855213102014-03-27T14:11:50.187-04:002014-03-27T14:11:50.187-04:00That card looks sick!

I am a little surprised about the heavyweight title fight though, Woods only has 3 professional fights (to Barrett's 15) I know ROC has a thin heavyweight division, but really? Woods' first fight in the promotion is a title fight against someone with literally 5 times the professional experience? What are your thoughts? Mike Morrisnoreply@blogger.com
