I have a hard time seeing how Sherk could win this one.
All true, but don't forget that Sherk does have an advantage and that is his superior cardio. If the fight goes into a fourth and fifth round Penn might be in trouble. Sherk is a machine, he'll keep the same pace for an entire 5 rounds - the question is if the fight goes the distance will Penn be able to keep up?
