Why does Cowboy's boxing suck so bad?

[13Seconds]

You know, for a high level striker?

Is it a camp thing or a genetic thing?

Holly Holm, a former pro boxer with a great record never really showed great hands in MMA. Her fight with Bethe was all standup and she couldn't even get off a punching combo.

Jon Jones. The genetic freak, longest reach in the UFC, can't throw a jab to save his life. Reem is running for his life whenever a punch is thrown at him.

What's up with the Jackson's camp and decent boxing fundementals?

He is more Muay Thai based.

More kick and knee centered.

roids disable your boxing ability

Muay Thai fighters practice some kind of headmovement too!

And Cowboy's been training MMA at a high level for a long time now.

It gotta be genetic or his camp just sucks at the art of boxing.

Condit has solid striking. So does Dodson. So I doubt it's a camp thing.

Some people are good at certain things

Others are good at others

Explain more.

The sweet science does not take kindly to D level bums

Getting out-boxed by Diaz and Masvidal doesn't mean you have horrible boxing.

Yeah it just so happens that everyone in that camp has mediocre boxing yet great everything else(kicks,knees,grappling) look at jones and Donald their biggest weakness is their hands and it has cost them a lot of pain and hospital visits

It's definitely not great just from watching them(jones,cerrone)

No it doesn't. It's about the way he got out boxed by those guys. He was litterally a punching bag in those fights.

Also in alot of his wins he was tagged up by punches before taking the W.

Jackson-WInk's version of the jab is an oblique kick.

Imagine if he doesnt "suck" at boxing.

Yes. That shit isn't working out too well.

Just imagine Jon Jones or Cowboy with a jab. I know Bones is out but let him develop that shit during the suspension

 

[Amerikuracana]

He just has bad defense.

He would have a better record today. Duh.

 

[dontlaugh]

Cowboy's punches are almost always used to set up kicks, maybe that is his comfort zone.

If you watch the Masvidal fight, you'll notice Masvidal almost always expecting it and countering right before Cowboy begins to transition his 1-2's into the kick, knocked his ass out twice in the fight bcz that pattern is sooo overused by now xD.
