UFC 130 fight card proves a huge task for Travis Browne
Thought Travis Browne has been hot as of late, the experts all agree that the upper hand in this fight has to be with Stefan Struve.
Take a look at what ESPN.com’s Frank McNeil has to say about Struve’s chances in the UFC 130 bout.
McNeil says:
Struve by KO — His two most recent outings prove that everything is coming together for Struve, especially as a puncher. He utilizes his long reach better and is getting more leverage on his strikes. This has increased his power output. Browne possesses good boxing skills, but he is more slugger than elusive defender. He will be available for Struve to hit.

Doesn’t sound like a ringing endorsement for Browne but there is a chance her. This will, like so many fights, come down to position. If Struve can bring the fight to the ground he’s going to win. He’s much more skilled there. However, if he has to stay on his feet to win then I don’t think he can trade punches with a powerful boxer in Browne.
It’s true that Struve might be coming up but I think looking past Browne would be a huge mistake.
