Pat Barry vs. Hardonk at 104

I'm super hyped about this fight. I'll admit I haven't always been a follower of Barry, but I've been looking at some of his clips in K1 and his mma fights and DAMN this guy's striking is unbelievable. I mean even in his loss to Hague his striking was so accurate and damaging, it's just unfortunate he got a little hasty. Hopefully he can work on his take down defense and submission defense because his striking is so nasty.
As for the fight.. I'm sure you can tell who I think is going to be winning after reading the paragraph above. Yeah.. Barry by TKO in the 1st. Hardonk's kicks are good, but they are NO where near as explosive as Barry's and not to mention Barry's hands are considerably better then Hardonk's. However, there is the threat of submission by Hardonk, but I doubt that'll happen. Barry is going to be patient and outstrike him and damage him with his hands. Hardonk is more a "wear-down" kind of striker wear his kicks will hurt you over the fight such that you'll lose speed and power then he can move in... but that's not going to happen.
Go Barry!

  1. Hardonk doesn't have much of a chin either, watch his fight with Eddie Sanchez, got dropped multiple times. This is on the prelims right ? - Aviator

  2. Yeah bro.. I saw that fight, Sanchez MESSED him up and it wasn't until those leg kicks broke him down that he finally capitalized. Yeah apparently this is on the prelims along with the Bader fight. I'm really looking forward to this one though.
