[Ubermensch]

I have noticed something I got from when I use to fight myself. We make Jokes about it all the time but it seems that it is true. Its the Eye of the Tiger. Days before a fight I will make predictions on fighter skill of some kind of biased favoritism, however when the fight is about to start and the fighters are in the ring I KNOW exactly who is going to win by the look in there eye and a lot of the times it is not what I WANT. It is never wrong I saw it tonight in every fighter that won and called them before they touvhed gloves. I see it almost every fight night and the fighter that has it always WINS. I get a little lost if neither fighter has it or they both have it. Sometimes if they both have it one will usually have it stronger than the other then I can still tell. I find it funny though that it always comes out right and I really wont know until i see the fighters get into that ring.

Eye of the Tiger my friends Eye of the Tiger

OK now you may make your Rocky jokes....

No jokes here. I know what you mean. I had a bad feeling for Wandy from when he got in the ring. You could see it with GSP and Hughes too. You could see it with GSP when he fought Serra and in Cro Cop's fights (sadly enough) but the CC that looked at Wandy wasn't the same CC that looked at GG or Kongo.

This is a very valid observation and I've noticed it too. Hughes looked resigned to his fate before the fight began and both Silva and Soko looked really nervous. GSP looked really confident as did Chuck. I couldn't really read Lyoto though.

ive noticed it to,but sometimes my picks are wrong.but you can tell when they are confident and ready to go.i saw it in chuck last night for sure.

Dude... Uber ur brilliant and I know EXACTLY what you mean. One step after that: say it wasn't exactly in the eyes, but all of a sudden you can see how much faster a fighter is than the other just as the bout begins (which you did not expect!!!!), and ur thinking about the pick u made (fantasy, money, etc.) and ur stomach just fuckin sinks.

Ach, that Eye of the Tiger!!!

[TheDirtySis]

Ive seen the fights but this thread is FULL OF SPOILERS!!!!! MODS FIX IT PLEASE!!!!

[playuntiltheskyisblack]

I dont think I've seen GSP look that intense before a fight. I'd be trying to swim in the little yellow puddle I made if a man like him stared me down like that.

Very true! Probably the most obvious would be Franklin Silva the first time round.

I agree 100%. I definitely saw it in GSP when they were introducing the fighters. Almost a cold hatred. I knew Hughes was going to get hurt.

When i saw the look in Chuck's eyes i was like WHOA !!!! Chuck was ready 2 fight & i was just thought 2 myself this Fight is gonna be Awesome.

Chuck was so Focused, If he comes in the same way 2 the rest of his Fights, there is gonna be Trouble.
