258 pound Alex P hitting mitts

258 is too much. But he fought close to 235 at 205. So 240-245 would have been fine. 258 might be too heavy. Though here, the nimble dude is Gane. Alex likes to square up.

I think all these guys going to heavyweight gain too much weight, same for Jon Jones. Pereira should be fighting at whatever weight he was after a training camp and before he started cutting weight for 205, probably 235. 230-240 is plenty big enough to fight any heavyweight that can make 265.

Looks slow and awkward.

He should have stayed at LHW so he didnt have to kill himself making MW.

Me three. If Alex manages to pull it off, Iā€™ll be his #1 fan. Balls of steel going up like this to fight someone who is absolutely not a pushover (to anyone not names Jones LOL). I think he loses convincingly though, Iā€™ve got a 67% change Gane KOā€™s him.

He doesnā€™t imo

Yeah for sure. Alex is definitely the highest level guy Gane has fought. Alex is tricky too

The thing that worries me is Francis landed good shots on Gane and didnt really hurt him. Alex might not have that same touch of death he is used to having.

Yeah Francis was in trouble that night and Gane bailed him out by having zero wrestling or scrambling ability

For once Francis had a guy standing in front of him that wasnā€™t phased, he could barely touch, and could touch him whenever he wanted

Bingo

He gained too much weight if hes pushing 260 and probably gonna be slow.

Iā€™ve never been impressed with anything Gane has done in the cage though (and his netflix movie sucked), and Alex is simply the more talented fighter.

Spot on. Slow and Awkward. He wonā€™t be able to land flush on Gane.

Itā€™s sparring. I want to see it in a fight.

Yes, but weā€™ve seen both of them fight

I doubt Alex has got faster after gaining weight

Gane moves quick for a massive guy

True.. but Alex seems like a guy that can carry that weight and it not cause much of a drop off.

This fight is so interesting to me at this point.

Still, his chin worries me if he heā€™s no able to move far enough for Gane. He gets clipped and itā€™s over.

Again, the bookmakers and hard core fans seem to be the only ones questioning him winning this fight with ease.

Iā€™m genuinely curious how much stuff you guys watch. Did any of you watch him spinning back kick the soccer ball into the net that the hot reporter threw? Heā€™s moving quite well. When he hits pads and spars heā€™s practicing technique. Heā€™s always looked slow doing it and he always looks perfectly fine in fights. He hasnā€™t lost a fight yet because of a speed disadvantage. This exact same conversation was had when he went to 205 and he decimated the division. Maybe Gane is too fast, weā€™ll see, but if thatā€™s the case he will just use it to run.
