Do you think older age is all it takes to get someone to the ground? Really?

You and MEM don't know a great deal about grappling do you?


Zimmerman also weighed more than Martin. You like to just go by height for some reason but if you compare builds it looks to me like Martin was basically a stick while Zimmerman was beefier.


This is another bone of contention with how the media reported this. Seems like the weight of 250 for Zimmerman was a six year old stat. Martin's own family puts him at 6'2" instead of the 6' reported. Turns out that both were about the same size with Martin having the height advantage and Zimmerman the weight (about a ten to twenty pound difference). So, it could have been anyone's game.

I was looking at the more recent pictures of Martin and the footage of Zimmerman just after he killed Martin. Martin's arms look like pipe cleaners, while Zimmerman has a more burly build.

Fair play!
