[Boss]

BJ Penn has only been finished by only one person, Matt Hughes in his entire career. Some folks say it was a rightful beatdown, other people say that Penn got hurt which allowed Hughes to finish him.

People make fun of Sherk and call him the "Muscle Blanket" or other names, however he has 32 wins, 9 which are TKO's, 12 submissions, and 11 decisions, which means 21 of his wins are fights which he finished. (Who his opponents were might come under questions to some people.) But his finishes are greater then his decisions.


This fight is so great because it is so hard to call. If it goes 3 rounds or less, I see Penn taking it. But 3 or more rounds, I see Sherk winning it.

Sherk has two ways to win, one is grinding out a 5 round decision (I don't like his plan of grinding on people for 5 rounds, why doesn't he just try to finish people earlier?) or tire Penn out (which is realistically something he might be able to do) and finish BJ while Penn is exhausted.


I think this board would go nuts if Sherk finished Penn.

I believe that the longer it goes, the worse it will be for Penn. I think if it is 3 rounds or less, Penn will win, I think he will stun Sherk with strike and then get a submission on him. I don't see him catching Sherk in a submission otherwise. Sherk also has a great chin. If it goes 3 rounds or more, I see Sherk taking it. More then likely by decision. I don't see him finishing Penn, but you never know, I never thought Gonzaga would KO Cro Cop either.

I think he'll tire Penn out until the 4th. Then if he feels its appropriate he'll finish him... I also see Sherk beating the hell outta Penn for his comments and not finishing.

It's just really tough to finish BJ, and Sherk doesn't really have any power in his shots...

Let me be the first to bring this up: anyone who says "anything is possible" in this thread is a stupid dumb face and a captain obvious.


Furthermore, how does anyone feel Sherk would realistically finish BJ?

I could see Sherk GnP an exhausted Penn in the fifth round, if it goes to the fifth.

He couldn't even finish Kenflo or Franca on roids ...

I think Sherk has a good chance to finsih BJ if it goes to late rounds.

P.S.
That bitch on your picture is hot.

What if Sherk finishes Penn?

Well, that just means that he wins. What kind of stupid questions is that?

[duckdown]

I wish Sherk finished Penn, just to shut his face up and maybe stop him from being so disrespectful and whiney next time before a fight

Nobody has ever GnP'd an exhausted Penn before, he's fought better fighters...so why is Sherk likely to?

I really can't wait for this fight, should retire allot of bj fans.
