With all those trash talk few months ago that turned into repulsive and homoerotic threats, finally Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Rashad “Suga” Evans will face it off on the grounds of the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. In addition to the flavor is the light heavyweight title shot over Mauricio Rua, looking forward for the winner of this fight.
The fight purely depends on what strategies will Evans show and if Jackson is in a really good shape. Jackson’s focus on fighting has been really a big question to many especially because he has inconsistent performances and distractions coming along his way. While all the speculations are on Evans, no one dares questioning Evans’ commitment to the sport, an undersized light heavyweight who has shown several lack of strategy inside the cage. Evans’ previous fights prove that he doesn’t seem to have a game plan at all.
Well with Jackson, he’s one of the top counterpunchers and a far more fundamentally sound boxer. Jackson is far more accurate than Evans and has the power to take Evans’ punches. The only way Evans can this performance is to whiplash leg kicks at Jackson’s leg and making his movement by staying outside the pocket. Although attacking with kicks has been a problem from Evans game, he has to have strategic ways.
In summary it’s still not quite sure that Evans has the victory over Jackson. It’s hard to imagine each fighter showing less than an alpha game. The picture doesn’t only favors Jackson but still it guarantees Evans will be put down.
