You either get in the pocket and need to utilize that defense in which case you need to tighten up your attack OR you're fighting from the outside and don't need that specific defense. I can understand wanting to change it up and confuse your opponent going inside and outside, but ffs he just tried doing waaaaay too much waaaay too often. He should have learned to fight within himself instead of being the Jack of All Trades but Master of none.
Yeah. Personally, I think he has so much talent AND....skill.
Not sure what happened to him. My best guess is what you've stated.
Well said.
Indeed, he had tremendous talent but kind of like Meldrick Taylor he just wanted so badly to fight in a style that didn't give him the best shot at fully realizing his potential
