1. Stan
2. decison or late round stoppage
3. he has the hardest leg kicks in the buisness and i think his power in his hands and boxing skills will be to much for ozkan. stan has to much to loose on this fight.

[QUPNCY]

1.ozkan
2.ko early in the 3rd
3.he's there for business and will show it with a big punchin ko
stan is a great fighter, great legs but wont take the barrage of ozkans punchin power

[da GhOsT]

1. Stan
2. Tko in the late rounds
3. Stan has to much leg power for Gurkan, he wouldnt last to those leg kicks

[Pitbull-Qld]

1. Stan The Man
2.4R KO
3. Stan has too much experience, he will chop Gurkan's legs to pieces.

[Sucuk]

1. Stan
2. TKO end of the 5th round
3. Gurkan cannot take a barrage of stans leg kicks. and will be stopped by the ref as Ozkan cant continue after the 5th round.

[DICKHEAD]

1.tarik solak
2.Drawn decision Disqualification
3.Im only being a ****head but can you imagine if it happens
We then need to have a rematch which say ozkan wins then we have to have a third fight so stan can have the chance to square the ledger and retire.
Stan did sign up for three fights didnt he?<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

[D_Head]

sorry michael i couldnt help me self<img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>

1. neither
2. drawn points decision
3. gurkan is fighting smarter nowdays he will check most of stans kicks while stan will run out of puff late in the fight.

[woodchip]

Why wouldn't ozkan fight Adam Watt with kicks to the legs when he will fight a harder leg kicker with leg kicks doesn't make sense.

[Roddy]

1. Stan
2. Decision
3. Cos I've got $500 on Stan!

[newblokes_au]

Here's my tip:

1. Stan
2. Round 5
3. As Stan's biggest strength is Ozkan's current weakness - LEG KICKS (not to mention natural weight difference!).. this is kickboxing guys remember incl. leg kicks

Cant wait for the show!



"what you do is what you deserve"...

[sethridge]

stan the man 3rdko Stans leg kicks will be toooooooo hard for poor gurks to cope with. also does anyone know if fox is covering the show?? or is tarik to hollywood now.

[paul c]

Woodchip,

I don't know why Gurkan would go on to fight a harder kicker with leg kicks, but I'm guessing it's for the same reason he has now said that he would fight Paul Slowinski in a full Thai fight.

A bigger challenge I guess.
Ozkan seems to thrive on them.
Hehe, I reckon if it was allowed and if they challenged him that Gurkan would have a go at fighting Elephants and Lions in the ring.

Damn, I'm having visions of Roman Gladiators.

[paul c]

I didn't want to break Michael's format,

1. Controversial Draw
2. Distance
3. Both guys are much loved in Melbourne. I can't see either one knocking the other out cold because both have great chins. Stan has the killer lowkicks, but I don't see Gurkan playing along by keeping that suitable distance. I imagine Gurkan is going to get in nice and close and bomb away, and think Stan will be happy to Box with him. I think we're going to be taken back to to that crazy Sefo Vs Hunt style action. Two tough guys going all out, and dozens of those sweat explosions we see on tele when a big hook or an overhand right connects. It's going to be BIG with lots of damage I think.

[tylerdurden]

1.Stan
2.Decision
3.Stan will put on a show like he did with the Chief. Stan can box aswell as Gurkan & kick alot better, with a 10kg+ weight advantage we all know whoses the Man.


or just for fun

1.General Public
2.Stan & Ozkan are showmen/entertainers and thats exactly what they'll do
3.We a fortunate enough to see a sporting legend Stan the Man fighting in OZ at the end of his career, a fitting fairytale ending.

[krama]

1.Stan
2.3rd round TKO - legs
3.Stan is too smart for OZkan - too many weapons, will either draw him in for a mad overhand right KO or punish him and break his legs for a few rounds to ensure the crowd gets value for money. Remember what Stan did to Peter Graham - forget the **** that Graham went the distance, Stan actually severly buckled in the 2nd!! round, but let him go after that - OZKAN I respect you heaps buddy but this is not favoratism - even though I idolised Stan and trained under Dana - but as the Great Dana used to say - never write off a champ - they may be getting old but they NEVER lose their power!!

[SPADA]

Stan
4th Rd KO
Ozkan will try to finish it early...but Stan will smash his weak legs
and finish it with a big leaping left hook.

[SPADA]

I hope it doesn't end up like Greco vs Stan at the crowning a few years back,a messy brawl.

[allanf]

1. Gurkan Ozkan
2. 3rd round ko
3. Gurkan will be too smart and to strong for stan on the night.

e.g I am definetly confident he is going to finish stan easily.

[KOSTA]

1. STAN 100%
2. 6th round coz he will be reckd after that i say
3. coz hes a fkn champion and ozkan wont b able to survive wif stans powerfull kicks

CAN ANY ONE TELL ME WOT OTHER FIGHTS R ONE APART FROM ZAMBIDIS VS NEZI AND STAN VZ OZKAN PLZZZ

QWERTYUIOP

[harls]

1. Stan
2. KO - 5th round
3. Leg kicks - even if Ozkan checks them they will still hurt him ie. Alexio.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I think Mark Mullen is fighting on th show.

[QUPNCY]

well not long to go guys!!!!!who's it gonna be?

[HaLfCaST]

hey harls mark mullan is not fighting on the show anymore he has ruptured his lower back L5 disc

[skeptic]

1 THE GREEK WARRIOR IN 1

[lex]

1. stan
2. ozkan will eather get K.O or will fake an injury by the 3rd round an cant go on. then they will set a rematch to draw in the big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
3. people say that stans rusty from the time off. but its just like riding a bike, it will come back to him real quick. the kicking power is still there an every one knows it, just ask the Alexio ,his leg has never been the same from 10 years ago.

[Axekick157]

1. Stan "The Man"

2. Third round KO

3. The Greek Warrior will show all his might on the night and
be way to strong for the eager Ozkan.

[HHH]

1) Stan The Man!
2) 4th or 5th round K.O from a punch or T.K.O from
a leg kick.
3) Gurkan has fought heavy guys before, but Stan
has alot more experience, skill and POWER then most
of these guys!

GO STAN!!!!!
