actually you did say Chuck wasn't a wrestler right there. I don't know why you are getting so worked up. I agree that Rampage won the fight soundly. What I was pointing out was that it wasn't a KO. I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in Mayweather's coaching making a huge differnce in an MMA fight. There are several holes in basic boxing technique that dont translate directly to MMA. Regardless four months of training with Mayweather does not make a amateur or pro career nor would I call Rampage's punching in the fight the refined product of a professional boxing coach. He didn't win that fight b/c he was hands down a better striker he won it b/c he was in better shape and is a better athelete. He was able to impose his will on Chuck with a pressure offense that kept chuck off balance and unable to counter.
