WEC 37 Tonight: Torres vs. Tapia

Posted by Garv | WEC | Wednesday 3 December 2008 10:38 am

The WEC is in Vegas tonight for their final show of the year. And they are pulling out all the stops by offering up some amazing fights. The headliner is a title fight between Miguel Torres and Manny Tapia.

Tapia is undefeated with a 10-0-1 record and he brings some good hands into the fight. He’ll want to keep it standing, but of course Torres will have other ideas. Still, Tapia does pose a threat to the 135 pound champion and the fight should be a barn burner while it lasts. I think in the end, however, Torres will be able to submit the hard hitting Tapia and hand him his first loss.

Also on the card is Brian Bowles vs. Will Ribeiro. Ribeiro is a former boxing champion from Brazil, so we know he has great hands, and he’s fresh off a victory over highly regarded Chase Beebe. But Bowles has been phenomenal in his burgeoning career and all six of his fights have been inside the distance. This one is going to be crazy.

After the jump you can check out the complete card.
