I've read many posts claiming Lewis doesn't have any skill, is sloppy, is not UFC calibur.
6 fight winning streak at HW.. That's impressive.. Hard to imagine he can pull that off without any skill
Why is he winning?
I think he has good hands. His boxing fundamentals are good. He isn't going to go down as a great boxer, even for mma standards... But he is good in this aspect.
Power-- off the fuckin charts here.. If he hits you, you're gonna have a bad time
Offensive wrestling-- I was really impressed how he was ragdolling Browne, he had a few really good takedowns last night, even a nice hip toss into mount
Toughness-- nuff said? Hes H-town gangster tough, the dude doesn't quit when the fight isn't going his way
Imo, his skills are pretty damn solid. His fight IQ is questionable to say the least.. Why is he constantly throwing those spinning head kicks at an opponent 6 inches taller than him ( or more..). His cardio is bad, but he seems to be working on it.. To come out that strong after so many huge body shots in round one.. He's gotta be decent at least.
I dunno, this guy might be the best HW prospect I've see in a while. I like guys with grit like he has.. I take that over someone who has all the skill on paper but folds.
