Robbie Lawler wins the SuperFight title!
Despite being outweighed by nearly 80 lbs, Lawler would not let the odds bother him. He rushed in to make sure the epic reach of Tim Sylvia played no factor in this fight then simply lit him up with punches. All performance in this one, since I don't think there is any area physically where Lawler would have the edge over Tim. I mean, maybe power, but how do you argue a natural welterweight has more power than a 6'8" pure heavyweight (who has also fought at Super Heavyweight)?
