Nah we just expected better. We didn’t expect him to fight on his heels the whole fight backing up losing to a dude who just throw 75% jabs and 25% hooks not a single kick. Champion round you expect him to lay it all there. Look like he was coasting for a paycheck.

He didn't expect to be hurt that 1st round, I think his chin might be compromised, he's coming off a rough trilogy.

:stopitslime:

nikkas itt need to calm tf down, Izzy lost a fight to someone who had a solid strategy, it's a clean loss that he took gracefully. No reason to shyt on him or say he should retire, he's an all time great despite being a huge c00n who I don't respect.
Dude is a good fighter and one of the best middleweights in this modern era but nah

Hes been exposed since fat pudgy kelvin gastleum had him on the ropes

Even Anderson had more killer instinct to comeback and win against chael sonnen

Naw. I've been a pretty big Izzy fan. that was a despicable display. Solid strategy that would get torn apart by your average mid-high level amateur boxer (if they were athletic)

nikkas come in the gym all the time thinking they Floyd and get popped with Overhands and crowding cuz we train to know how to deal with that shyt :scusthov: You are not going to break a philly shell being on the backfoot all day what was their gameplan :scusthov:

"eventually Sean will knock himself out after being mesmerized by your feints :mjlit: "


shyt fukked up my mood watching that lmfao

Yea that possum shyt started to look more and more like :duck:

If the opp is willing to walk forward and bang they got a high chance of beating him

It’s not even just that it’s the fact that these guys are within his elbow space that means going for takedowns or even clinches (as a kickboxer he should be using those to dig knees into the body and allow space for power punches that can KO on the disengage) shows how much of a fraud he is

He was a height bully that’s why he was winning early but even then he was on dumb shyt with sloppy defense

MMA man...so unpredictable.
Anderson had a lower level of competition of course he racked up wins:comeon:
izzy always been a poor mans Anderson silva

Anderson was a much more dynamic and talented fighter all around.

Silva could break you down in many ways.

All Strickland had to do was stay in izzy face and not overextend, once he took away the kicks izzy had nothing.
I was shocked how bad his boxing was in this fight..he couldn't land anything. Ah..let me stop. I like Izzy, this was just a really, really bad performance...it happens.

I don't know. Dricus is full on bum rush with no cardio.

Sean went full pressure defense. And surprise surprise, he had 5 rounds of cardio because of that defense.

Two entirely different fights. Strickland stayed in there and was inpenetrable with the shell.
U right that shell was a advantage but drucis would of ate up Izzy body:dame:

He probably would of attacked him to the body early too
