I saw the CBS show and the Cotto fight. I liked both.

Elite show was good but for the first time in a while i really enjoyed the boxing.
Coleman vs. Shogun does not really strike me as a dream match but it would be nice for Shogun to avenge what shouldn’t have been a loss.
Glad to see Gomi back in action, I wish he would sign with UFC so he could fight BJ Penn again.
Silva vs. Cote? dont get me wrong i like Patrick Cote but this will certanly be a bad night for him, I think this is evidence that the middleweight contenders are way out of Andersons league and that the light heavyweight division seems the best thing for him to expand his legacy.

i agree with everthing you said luke, the only reason i am not pissed about shogun vs coleman is shogun needs a tune up fight after 2 surgeries and a long layoff and he does owe coleman one. and cote vs silva won’t be a fight but who else is there at 185 that will be, except maybe a rematch with dan but that won’t be for a while if ever.

I think Okami might give Anderson Silva a good fight. I agree with you Roy about the tune-up fight for Shogun, he needs it.

i agree morey at this point okami is the best match up for silva, i see it going into the 2nd round and thats more than most of the other mw will do
