    He was 273!
    Great first round for Big Tim! I think Mariuz realises he's in with a legit MMA fighter right now

    To his credit, Marius looked better than I expected.
    Tim looked about as bad as I expected.

    Rd 1 : Mario used his power at the start and was dominating. He he looked to tire quickly and tim had him on the back foot avoid strikes for the latter half.
    Tim took him down and the round end with some ground and pound. Marius tried a triangle, it was terrible.

    10-9 Sylvia

    The highlight of the fight was Herb Dean as the ref.
    Marius taps due to strikes early in rd 2

    The best part was the Polska chick singing the national anthem

    I seriously thought she gonna start singing how other countries have inferior potasium!
    Tim: IWhat's up now? I'm back!"

    Yeah Tim, you beat a guy with 2 Pro Fights, YOU THE MAN!

    wow.... why did i watch that. It was like watching two of the Tellytubbies fight, particularly the one with the handbag...

    Im almost afraid to watch this fight.
    It wont be a technical fight or a slug fest or even a hugging match.
    I just see it being a big lump of bleh
    I was right!!

    God that second round was bad.
    His arsenal just seemed to consist of low kicks which didn't appear to be doing any damage at all. Plus he looked gassed after about a minute. Seems destined to be one of those guys that floats around the 'Tank Abbot and Butterbean' circuit.

    Good lord thats a contender for worst fight of the decade. Gas fest '10.
    I think Mariusz gassed after about a minute. And Sylvia by the end of the round.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,720 ✭✭✭Sid_Justice


    decent fight, tim using his BJJ skills to pass guard couple of times (he's a blue belt now!). Was impressed with Marius's take downs and leg kicks but ultimately he gassed and couldn't defend himself. If Jeff Monson couldn't beat Tim Syliva this Marius guy had no chance.

    does that commentator say he likes the look of tim Sylvia at the start of the fight?

    I think I also heard the phrase "flashes of brilliance".

    Yeah Tim, you beat a guy with 2 Pro Fights, YOU THE MAN!
    If he couldn't beat a guy with 2 Pro MMA fights it would have destroyed Tim's career.

    He's already failed to beat a guy in his MMA debut recently

    Mariusz was bad, but in particular his movement is terrible.

    Yeah but theres a big difference in losing to a former world champion boxer who was known for knocking people out and someone whos only skill before entering mma was lifting heavy things and moving them from one place to the other.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,387 ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    lol.....


    To be fair to him though, he looked like if he wetn away and got some decent training he could be a serious fighter. He just looked out-sized and ultimately unprepared.


    Now, where's that glass of wine gone...

    There was no way Tim was in shape for 3 rounds let alone 5 @ 305lbs
    A fitter more experienced opponent would have destroyed him, really would love to see the guy get back to the top though :(

    roy nelson has nearly always sported that belly in fairness.

    It was never going to be a classic... a freak show featuring one washed up fighter vs one wannabe.

    Silvia looks in terrible shape!

    I must be one of the few that enjoyed it.

    Must be nice to say you beat the strongest man in the world ever
