UFC 278 On ESPN+ PPV [8/20] “Summer Of Sequels” (Kamaru Usman/Leon Edwards II)

[firemanBk]

Its really the worst thing about the UFC and why boxing is the more popular sport. Boxing legends are legends forever and ufc/mma it depends on fickle fans and Dana white.

Boxing fans are way worse
Act like people are trash and their careers are over after a single loss

There's no way you'd have people like the Diaz Bros and Masvidal drawing in boxing with damn double digit losses on their record

 

[Roid Jones]

I know what you mean breh, but Leon set that up perfectly. It wasn't a hail Mary. He didn't just throw it hoping for it to land.

Yeah I'm a big Usman fan but I hope the narrative does not become Edwards got lucky, he planned that especially given the way Usman tries to catch kicks

 

[TheSuperkick!]

The Spider keeps his title defense's record.

 

[Vaselclean]

People are going to rewrite history based on the result, but Edwards looked defeated prior to the ko, which was quite surprising considering the first round he had.

With that said, I'm not sure the Usman beats him the next fight. It seems like he lost confidence for some reason and I think he will likely stand his ground more in the next fight add that to Usman being more cautious about the return fire

 

[Curtis Nightfish]

Hope people aint sleeping on Leon. Dude is sneaky good and one of the reasons why I think this will be an interesting fight.

 

[ALonelyDad]

Usman went from having somewhat of an advantage over Dana to Dana having full leverage again

Yes because the top quality boxers are at the top of their class. That's what makes boxing better competition is much fiercer. But former champs get respect and always get respect from the fans. Example a clown like Adrian Broner will always be remembered as three division world champion . But he's still a clown. If he was in the ufc he would be forgotten.

Name a 3 division ufc champ? I argue its harder to achieve that feat in boxing than it is in the UFC.

They put a mismatch main event with nobody else on it, they shouldn't be surprised shyt not selling well. The corpse of Tony Ferguson not changing anything

Only McGregor has any sort of leverage over Dana

When was this? I would still take Usman in the rematch ironically using the same game plan, I know Usman is sick right now

 

[James Gordon]

Wow Leon

 

[((ReFleXioN)) EteRNaL]

Eyes wide shut


Reminiscent of that Sergio Martinez-Paul Williams KO

I'm referring to Edwards.
