Wandy is an absolute shell of himself and if you breath on him he goes down. I can't see anyway he wins this fight short of Vitor showing up grossly out of shape... and even then Vitor will probably still ko him.
If it was the old Silva fighting amongst todays guys he wouldn't have the same success. The old hack n slash style doesn't really work today. I'm saying Silva has adjusted and isn't going to go out and swing from the get go or try to walk through Vitors punches. I think Silva stands a bigger chance today than he did in the old days, that's what I'm saying, first bc Vitor is going to have worse conditioning and bc his main strong side has weakened, and that's his speed. Also Silva is going to respect his punches a lot more this 2nd time around and will therefor have a completely different gameplan than he did last time. Those are the favors that are on his side.
With that said, Silva always tends to get hit, careful or not, in his fights. So I think he's going to get KO'd again prolly, just saying he stands a better chance today than he did before.
