Damn Struve's reach is almost as wide as Jon Jones?
I was going to pick Struve to submit Buentello in round 1, but I let my confidants convince me that Buentello would take it.
Of course I was kicking myself in round 1.
Struve has so much potential (read: a lot to learn). If he could just learn to use his jab and front kick and keep his hands up, it would make a huge difference.
Overall a pretty pathetic fight. They both should a lack of high caliber skill and gassed in the second round. I was mildly disgusted by the cheers when they started playing rock'em sock'em robots.
I scored the rounds:
1: 10-9 Struve (not enough damage to score it 10-8)
2: 10-9 Buentello (very close round)
3: 10-9 Struve (due to the leg kick dominance)
R:2 A:2 S:2 T:2
