Video: Todd Duffee vs. Alistair Overeem for the Dream Interim Heavyweight Title

KJ Gould - Overeem KO/TKO in the first round

It’s still too early to say how good Duffee is or could be but I think he’s a classic case of an imposing physique getting hype after a big impact performance. With that in mind I think he’s completely out of his depth and his punching power may have been exaggerated because of said physique and how good it looked when Tim Hague ran into his fist but how he had trouble with Mike Russow who I’m pretty sure isn’t the second coming of Mark Hunt in the Iron Chin department. I just have a feeling Duffee is in the James Thompson vein: might have heart, but his chin will fail him against a more technical and powerful striker who can make his size work for him. Overeem will land a very audible right cross or left hook sending Duffman to sleep while making men feel emasculated the world over.

Which is another way of saying ‘vanity belt’ in this instance.
