BGL is still the top dog. Those who unfairly criticized him does not know that fighting is more than just throwing punches then fall on your face. It is about strength, balance and agility and it is not possible to always end it with a KO. It wasn''t like he just hugged. He did try to take McGratten head off or atleast knock is sideway but McGratten who is taller yet less interested in standing straight and exchange. BLG won but boring match and rematch is a must though I think McGratten injured his elbow.

Not even ok show by either.
MCgrattan landed two against Laraque 1, which was a weak one.
Laraque with the takedown(surprise!).
Edge McGrattan.

not much here. mcgrattan can hang with anyone, but laraque is still the strongest guy in the league. this one ends abruptly, a draw.

Laraque is just too strong

Posted by tleahey on Mar 18, 2009 at 8:46 PM agree

Bunny swings and misses...McGrattan countered well...winner on points...Laraque gets the takedown in mma. But, never landed a punch. McGrattan with the win.

It was good to see these two super heayweights square off. Not a big fan of the featherweights inturupting a big bout like that, have some respect for big georges and McGrattan!

Solid draw, no one throwing much-typical take down by Laraque at the end.

Posted by Viper on Jan 4, 2008 at 5:23 PM agree

Mcgrattan landed the only good punches of the fight one which knocked Laraque off balance.

Posted by TheHammer24 on Dec 15, 2007 at 6:23 PM agree

I think the laraque just wrestles critiques are getting fairly old. Laraque landed several short punches and was not punched once by McGratton. He regained his balance several times, and as they were going into the boards - where the fight was likely to stop as they stayed against the board - he spun and took McGratton down. But all of you will then say he doesn't fight that often and that's why he isn't HW champion. He has 5 fights this year, all of which are victories. Middle of the line fighters, guys like Chris Neil, aren't going to step up. He only fights the top guys and this results in less competion then a guy like Carcillo would be able to go against.
