  1. He doesn't need to prove anything at all. It's like his corner said before the fight. It's not about the belt....it's about beating the guy who beat him. If anything he probably would just want to prove to himself that he can beat Weidman.
  2. I really wish the fight could have continued also with that not happening. Apparently his leg fractured on the very first kick, then broke on the final one. Seemed like Silva was just starting to gain some momentum.
  3. I love all the doubters. I'm a huge Silva fan and have been for a long time....but you can't be blind like that. So many people I talk to with hard ons for Silva still don't believe in Weidman. They think both losses were Silva beating himself. The first one I can understand the argument......but the 2nd one Weidman was just checking the kicks. Silva didn't know what to do. I don't think anyone would throw a fight by swinging your leg that hard into someone's knee.
  4. I'm a huge Anderson fan and love the guy and what he's done for the sport. You can't doubt Weidman though. He prevented Silva on his game and checked all of his kicks, or most of them. That was one of the big things he worked on in camp, was checking kicks. With him checking Anderson's kicks all the time it takes a lot of his leg power away, which takes much of his hands away. Weidman was clearly winning up until that point, and even dropped him in the 1st round. Obviously what happened was a freak accident....but Anderson's leg fractured on the first kick apparently. I should add, in a full fight who knows what could have happened. I think Anderson would have won and pulled it off had his leg not broken in half, but it is what it is. This doesn't taint his reputation at all. He has nothing left to prove. He's dominated in devastating fashion for a long long time.
  5. I can see it now..... First fight, Silva was playing around and knocked himself out. No credit to Weidman. Second fight, Silva was fighting angry and Weidman got lucky with Silva breaking his leg. Already hearing numerous excuses. Weidman is legit. I'm so sad for Anderson....and all of Ariel Helwani's tweets after saying Anderson has been screaming backstage and how haunting it is to hear it. Career ending kind of injury. I wonder if he comes back like how Big Nog came back after Mir breaking his arm. If Silva does indeed return, he definitely will not be the same. That was brutal. You could hear the screams through the TV. What a perfect kick check by Weidman.
  6. Not looking forward to the gym population rising in a big way once the New Year's resolution people hit. Always happens every year....packed for January then dies down.
  7. Why in the hell is this thread bumped. Solid game, and best CoD game to date, but man....this thread was started when I was in Grade 11.
  8. I get the feeling that Torts gave it to the boys after tonight's game. They should be prepared for the game against Chicago tomorrow. Emphasis on should.
  9. Started playing Zelda: Skyward Sword again. I only got through the first few temples and stopped playing for a long time. Some random Zelda tune popped into my head out of nowhere and I thought I might as well try and finish Skyward Sword.
  10. I find it funny how people say so much about the Bruins' fans but then are blinded by what is said by our side. Obviously most Canucks fans hate the Bruins and their fanbase, and in overall history the Bruins are far worse. As of right now though, both sides say some pretty shameful things.
  11. Great game. Awesome play lately. This game had it's downs though, but Torts fired the boys right back up.
  12. That's some better play, boys!! Damn, Torts...you're the man. AV would have just chewed his gum and quietly talked logic into the guys.
  13. Wow are the Bruins ever passing and walking in our zone with ease. Good job on Booth there with the go ahead. Canucks still need to play better though.
  14. So far in this game, Canucks have been crap. Only reason this game is remotely close is because of Luongo. Canucks haven't been playing elite against an elite team.
  15. I wish I had a good enough computer to play SKYWIND. The Skyrim modded version of Morrowind. My god that game is expansive and to think people modded it to be like Skyrim is amazing. The trailer looks beautiful.
  16. Original 4? Why does our record against the other teams even matter? Any game can be won by any team.
  17. The popcorn distracts you from the movie's horrid nature. Mmm....this popcorn is good. The movie must be, too.
  18. Game summary? Good players? Bad players? Just got home from work...
  19. I would say both console fanboys have their bad representatives. I seem to experience a lot of XB1 annoyances though. Go with what you like. I prefer the PS4 over the XB1, as I preferred the PS3 over the 360. The Xbox exclusives just don't apply to me really. I like Playstation's exclusives a ton more. I have more friends on the Playstation. It seems like in my area almost everyone was eventually carried over to the PS3 from the 360 by the end of the era. I like what they're doing with the Playstation Live stuff also. I have to be able to play games like Uncharted, The Last of Us, inFAMOUS, God of War, Metal Gear Solid, Killzone, Heavy Rain/Beyond, ICO Team games, Little Big Planet, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and more. I just have to. I don't care about Halo. I don't care about Gears. I could care less about Forza. Played it quite a bit at a buddy's house. Wasn't in to it. Ryse I've seen at a buddy's house and it's not my thing either. I'm not going to carry on about PS in a Xbox thread though. If you like what the One brings and the games that are incoming then dive into it. If you have a lot of friends on that console then get it. It's all what you prefer. One thing I'm sure, is that the PC side is the most annoying. I hear the words "superior" and "master race" far too often.
  20. My brother wasn't even impacted by it either. He uses the same PS4 that I do and plays FIFA14 way more than me. FUT way more than me also.
  21. Measurement game. One of the top teams so far against our beloved Canucks. I hope our boys can bring it!! Man.....Landeskog/Duchene/MacKinnon.......nasty.
  22. Shogun was a nut in that fight! Pat Barry....dummied again. Too many hits to the head, that guy. Bigfoot/Hunt. Omg that was intense. They can BOTH take a hit to the head for sure! Crazy how drained they were in rounds 4+5. Man, nobody has the cardio and endurance that Velasquez does.
