Chuck, Kenn Florian, even GSP are examples of guys who aren't massive, but still effective. (although GSP is pretty ripped, but you can tell that's not the focus of his training.) Another example is how machida killed sok. Sok is massive yet he came up short against the less physically dominating guy. Anyway...

Chuck fought a perfect fight against Wandy. He fought tall and stayed outside. Wandy wasn't even connecting because Chuck used his height and reach advantage perfectly. Wandy is not done... he just needs new philosophies in his corner.
I agree with your analysis that they were killing him BUT,it's not just that. As I said,the fire has gone. The intensity isn't there. When was the last time the words Wandy and nervous/apprehensive were in the same sentence?Yet that would describe perfectly his performance in the first round. He just seemed to lack the fire he once had.
