JMMs different tactic in the 4th fight..

[Youngblood]

lol cognitive dissonance on display itt.

I don't think it is funny or silly at all to examine. It would be in a thread about kudos for a fighter, where if by design it is to take away from the message. This is about strategy so more apt to discuss technical issues. Important to separate the two.

If you look at what happens to Pacs hands mid way, they go from the usual delivering a jab reaction, with possibly a followup left, to one of natural reaction to falling. Think about the human reaction to falling. Both hands tend to pull up almost 100% of the time to protect the head for when it hits the ground. It's not something someone chooses to do, it just happens.

Like I mentioned, when I watched it that night I only had real time footage of the waist and up and from a stream, a good one mind, but not taped, or in HD. It bothered me as something seemed off. Mostly the heads speed and angle driving in. Next morning had all the information, DL'd HD version, gifs, and so analyzed it and it made sense and had the aha moment to what didn't seem correct in the body mechanics of a typical KO.
