Who seeded this tournament.

I’d pick these two over everyone so far.

I guess to me it depends what they are fighting over....

On most areas I would give it to the man with the better career fighting record, but if they where fighting over say a Twinkie, Big Z might ramp it up a notch…

I cannot believe the Dukes voters

He strikes me as a classic all-talk motherfucker. Don’t get me wrong, he could kick my ass, but I weight 150. Zambrano has a few pounds on Dukes, and strikes me as way, way more insane. Dukes is just a lackwit who has listened to one too many bad gangsta songs. Zambrano seems like the kind of guy who would cut off your and your family’s heads and bring them in a sack into a bar, then roll them across the sawdust for everyone to admire.

I could be wrong here, but note: I have lived in or near “bad” neighborhoods for the last two decades and I have not been beat up, assaulted, or anything near the same. That is mostly luck, yes, but I think I do have sense with whom not to mess on the Muni.

Man I wanted to vote Dukes

But Z’s got 4 inches and 20lbs on him. I can’t ignore that.

How is this even close?

Z is bigger and taller. did you see what he did to that water cooler? no-brainer

Dukes has a big enough army of children

and baby mommas to take out all of Venezuela including Big Z. Though 1-1 it’s probably Zambrano in any contest except sperm count.

I bet Dukes would fight really dirty.

by PWHjort on Apr 24, 2010 2:50 PM EDT reply actions  

Wow.

one vote separates the two right now..

Forget about Britney, LEAVE BRANDON ALONE!!!!

Dukes is more dense, is faster and has explosive power.

He is also shorter which gives him an advantage in a 1-on-1 IMO. Just because Zambrano is a bigger target and beat up a Gatorade cooler doesn’t mean he knows how to fight. Look at Derrek Lee, dude fought like a pansy and he’s a giant. I also would bet that Dukes knows how to fight better because of his background. I don’t see anyone wanting to fight Zambano because of his size.

You guys win. You can keep your little marked-out piece of internet territory. Spend your days communicating via keyboard with people too ugly for the real world and too nerdy for anyone to care, anyway. Your piece of land is here. Do the rest of civilization a favor and stay within its limits. You bore me.

lol

best bracket so far.

I guess I go with the gun touting one, though dunno maybe big Z have a pretty good collection too.

Too many innings on Big Z's arm
