Out of curiousity, how do you guys rank couture’s chin? (No am not sayin that Nog is gonna KO him so stop with the assumptions.)

i think his chin is only ok, but against nog i believe it to be a moot point. nog talking about his better boxing is rediculous. regarless of what condition he was in he made both mir and timmay look like pro boxers. couture just needs to keep it standing or against the fence, or even just gnp and avoid the sub attempts and hes got this by decision or or even tko. nog is further past his prime then couture.

I should say that Randy’s chin is above average. It only takes a Chuck Liddell to knock him out…

Im picking Randy for this one, as much as i dont’ want too, i think he will have a UD win by pushing Big nog up against the fence and using his dirty boxing to sqeeze out the victory

I’d say his chin is obviously not as solid as it used to be, but, Nog’s isn’t either. Mir isn’t known for his power and he handed Nog a good @ss whoopin’(regaurdless of staph, or not). I’d say the chances are better for Randy to stop Nog with strikes than the other way around. I’m picking Randy by ref. stoppage in the 2nd.

Both fighters maybe be a little past there primes, but that being said they are still great fighters and this should be a good fight. I like both Randy and Nog so I won’t really be upset no matter who wins but im picking Nog by sub.
