I'm sort of thinking that if Slyvia is the antithesis of what a fighting human being should look like. His gangly, awkward posture is something that is made even worse looking by his one dimensional fighting style and his excessively primitive facial expressions -- all of which are superbly enhanced by his 'make my look at stupid as you can' haircut and facial hair. This unfortunate combination has to cause any normal person to want him to lose, which naturally is something that is frustrating, since he is winning. One wonders why? What about him makes him a good fighter? I really cannot tell. I do know that being shoulderless seems to give him a more precise punching range -- its also possible that certain primitive elements give him an edge over more civilized individuals: this situation naturally doesn't augur well for those who think technique and skill will serve them well in an event that seems to be replacing professional boxing as a combative spectator sport. When you think of how he defends himself you surely don't see anything that resembles a skilled technician at work. Its almost mind boggling. Just watch him stand -- its a wonder his legs work! Yet he doesn't have bad kicks. Its the kind of situation that just makes you wonder. Is this really the best there is, and if so, why? Such a huge deal has been made out of Arlovsky, yet he was unable to answer a real challenge. Obviously, no matter what he does to remedy this, it most likely won't succeed, because he just isn't isn't that capable when confronted with the elongated 'thing'.
