i say Karo wins...dont think kos could LNP this one

[Dan0]

With what I think is an improved Karo with his improved striking/boxing, I think Karo.

BUT

I think it would be a very good fight as long as Kos doesn't make it boring by just laying on Karo the whole time.

I don't really think Karo is capable of having a boring fight. Even if Kos tries to LnP (which to be honest he really doesn't do that much of anymore) I think Karo could somehow make it exciting.

I'm picking Karo here.

Kos would try to lay and pray once Karo started tossing him around and hittin him....Koscheck sucks plain and simple...i could do what he does

[Salvy_Mic]

Strong wrestlers give Karo a hard time, but unlike the ones in the past who beat Karo (Sherk, St. Pierre, and Sanchez), they all had other things to work with: Sherk was already a veteran and I believe, then undefeated welterweight monster, St. Pierre has great stand-up and incredible athleticism, while Sanchez is very formidable on his back and with his submissions. Koscheck is, for the time being, strictly a wrestler, but one with incredible upside.

If Karo is able to improve his conditioning, his strength, and his takedown defense, then Koscheck is in for a rough night, because Karo is a talented, experienced veteran who has more tools to work with. His striking is better than Koscheck's and on the ground, even on his back, Karo is still a threat to submit Koscheck with something like an armbar or a triangle. And if Karo gets top position on Koscheck on the ground, I don't think Koscheck has enough experience or ability to handle Karo's GnP and submission game. I'll take Karo by exciting decision (or late round armbar).

karo(he had a nasty cut last fight) would destroy that ugly guy...whats his name again..kos...koscheck

[LefthookStcrook]

after re-wathing the karo/ diego fight i think karo would take him, karos got decent wrestling and he's not a fish out of water on the ground, kos might be able to take him down a couple times trough-out the whole fight but i see karo winning a decision

same thoughts here

[Soul_Edge]

Koscheck could definately take Karo down but I don't believe he could control him. Karo is so elusive and is good at reversals and submissions. Even off his back I think he would still be more active and gain points that way. His standup was much improved against Fickett and his cardio was better as well. Koscheck is an amazing wrestler but at the moment he doesn't possess the overall tools to finish Karo. Karo by unanimous decision.
