I wouldn't say you were looking at it through rose-colored glasses. That's about what I thought. Kenny is all heart. That guy impressed the hell out of me last night, being able to withstand the punishment he did. He's got a stone chin and a pair of brass ones. And he's a good fighter, to boot.I could be watching through rose-colored glasses, but I thought it was a decent fight for Kenny. Kenny is a natural 155'er and was giving up a lot of weight and power. Leben was throwing a lot but cleanly landing very little and Kenny landed some quality shots in the process. Obviously I'd have to say Leben won Round 1 and was on his way to win Round 2, but as that round wore on Kenny was looking stronger while is looked like Chris was looking weaker. It seemed Chris was running out of gas and Kenny was just picking his shots in between Leben flurries. It would have been interesting to see what would have happenned in Round 3, but it's anybody's guess now. Leben has knocked out some real good guys, so props to Kenny for weathering that storm.
That I don't know about. Diego is a beast, and nuts. I think it'll be tough for Kenny to keep the fight standing from what I've seen of Diego so far. Kenny looks like an excellent fighter, and tough as nails, but I still have to give Diego the edge because he's crazy. Especially in the ring.I think he'll win the MW division. He matches up well with Kosh and Diego. Neither of them have anything resembling stand-up for that level and while they can take Kenny down, he's comfortable working from his back. I think Diego would give him more trouble since he's good at submissions too, so if he muscles Kenny to the ground, his size and strength may negate Kenny's skill. I'd imagine Kenny may try to keep it standing against him. I dunno though. The guy is a monster on the ground.
