Alright, so most of us watched Serius v Jimz.
I want to let Serius first round marinate for a few weeks before I start figuring out if it can go up there in a top 30 or 40 of greatest first rounds.
What I will say is this was the perfect approach for a veteran to take vs an up and comer. He showed Jimz that he wasn't on his level from the gate. No matter what Jimz did in rounds 2 and 3, I just felt like Serius had already accomplished his goal. I knew he was hands down better than Jimz, and I immediately wanted to see him vs a stronger opponent. Jimz couldn't really WIN unless his 2nd or 3rd matched the skill shown in Serius 1st. Jimz just had to do something to make fans want to see him again. Serius 2nd and 3rd rounds were good too, but he almost didn't need them.
When vets like DNA, Verb, Big T, Cortez etc. take battles vs up and comers, we should expect this from them. At least come out and smoke your opponent in the 1st. It creates a perception that heavily colors rounds 2 and 3. We know they can't fukk with you, so whatever happens after that is kinda whatever.
First round knockout? In a situation like this, is it fair to say?
