Fitch will have to take the fight to Karo. He wouldn't stall his way to a win like he did with Sanchez. He'll actually have to fight him. I'm kind of surprised to read all the guys that think Fitch will destroy Karo. I don't see Fitch beating Karo at all. But, I guess none of us will no for sure until they fight. If they fight...

To answer Karo's question.....

Fitch is the guy you ducked!

Taken from a recent article,
"And while Parisyan stood firm in his denial of any knowledge of an offer to fight Fitch, he did admit to requesting an opponent other than Fitch."

Alves is a safer fight than fight than Fitch but it is still not a very safe fight IMO. He claims that Alves is a great striker and all that but he is very crafty on the ground as well. If Karo underestimates at all in this match he could very well end up losing.....

Hah...Karo really should've known better. Now people are thinking he's a "pooosy".

I am a Karo fan i do believe he has the skills and the fact that he is only young to one day be a champion in the sport.....However that said i do not think he deserves a title shot right now or in the near future he hasnt beaten the top competition thrown in front of him. he needs a win at fight night and then maybe a win of Kos or Fitch or Hughes to put himself in title contention

I agree, I see Karo winning this one as well.

And I don't really mind Karo not finishing most of his fights, because as long as they are exciting (which they always are), then I ain't complaining. I'm not really sure who deserves the title shot more, I will wait and see what they both do in their next fights to judge who deserves it more.

Huh, I find that interesting, CP...that you would pick Parisyan over Fitch.

How do you feel the fight would play out between Fitch and Parisyan?

I think this is all that needs to be said here. In fact I belive Karo was mis quoted here, it should be "Does Fitch know who I am?"

All I know is it'd be a good fight. I'm not Karo's biggest fan, but he's got game and so does Fitch.

It'd be a helluva fight.

Round 1:They would both come out and have a couple striking exchanges, and then they would clinch up against the cage. Karo would then use a nice judo throw to get Fitch down. Karo would gnp Fitch while avoiding subs throughout the round. 10-9 Karo

Round 2: Fitch would be careful not to clinch up, and would strike from the outside,and eventually go for a shot or two to try and get Karo down. While he has Karo down he would go for numerous subs but wouldn't do any damage as karo would avoid them. 10-9 Fitch

Round 3: Repeat of Round 1

That's my take on the fight anyway.
