Quick question: Are you a MMA fan, or just a boxing fan?
As a BJJ / Wrestling fan, that was one hell of a match to watch. Complete clowning from start to finish.
As for gucci's comments re: "peaking" I call total, unabashed bullshit. GSP did, in fact, toy with Hardy for much of the fight. If you were watching, during one of the breaks his corner was telling him to stop trying to submit and go for some G & P to mix it up. Next round comes up and he promptly takes Hardy down and the ground and pound ensued. It looked like a practice sparring match rather than a title fight.
As for not finishing the submissions, yes, there were technical errors in the armbar (knees not tight together, didn't pull the arm at an angle). But quite frankly, I think GSP thought he would seriously injure Hardy had he pulled any harder (heh). I don't think GSP is the type of fighter to want to end someone's career over a submission... Particularly when he was not being provided any meaningful opposition up to that point.
GSP owns the WW division right now. Any talk of a GSP vs BJP 3 is worthless, until BJ proves he can win at that weight, as was said previously.
