Who wins the Lorenz Larkin vs. Paul Daley fight, and why?

I’m rolling the dice and going with Daley here. I think his striking puts him in position for the victory by second round TKO. Larkin is a good fighter, but I think Semtex turns the lights out.

If you’re a fan of strikers this is your kind of fight.  This is looking to be the most entertaining bout on the entire card and possibly the best chance for a knock out.  Both men have lost to Douglas Lima and both are looking for an impressive win here.  Lorenz Larkin will win this one by establishing his leg kicks early and finding Daley’s chin.  Knock out in the third round.

I am going with Larkin by third round TKO. This is a fight you cannot miss. I really think this could be fight of the weekend and possibly fight of the year. Both guys are totally fearless in the cage and no afraid to get into an all-out brawl. Both fighters have the 1 shot knock out power most fighters dream of having. The reason I am going with Larkin because he is just a more well-rounded fighter. He throws more punches in combinations, has better kicks and can hold his own on the ground. I’m thinking Larkin will be able to handle the hard shots from Daley early in the fight then be able to finish the fight in the clinch with combination of knees and punches.
