Power beats precision. Speed beats timing. Examples?

[superpunch]

What are some examples of this?

Off the top of my head:

Lesnar vs Couture
Randleman vs Cro Cop

 

[Kinosis]

Wanderlei Silva vs Guy Mezger.

 

[Summoning]

"Speed beats timing" doesn't make any sense, unless you consider it blitzes like Sage Northcutt or young Vitor, but it requires also timing.


Power beating speed you see it all the time, in boxing Golovkin is a perfect example, but it's more "power and precision beats speed".

 

[Reign009]

Did you misquote on purpose?

 

[Dacoda]

Man I thought timing beats speed

 

[Shaddows]

I think it is speed & precision beats power...

 

[JayPettryMMA]

First thing that comes to mind.


Also:

 

[Shadowthrone]

Rumble's powerful headbutt was able to overcome Gus' precise boxing

 

[Shadowthrone]

Look at that lazy kick and hands down, glad that bum got KO'd by an incidental headbutt

 

[TheChance]

Off the top of my head:

Lesnar vs Couture
Randleman vs Cro Cop

Lesnar vs Couture YES
Randleman vs Cro Cop NO
Randleman set him up to sprawl for his TD then threw a punch, it was a great gameplan and worked perfectly

 

[Dankoz]

 

[TheChance]

I think it is speed & precision beats power...

generally speed>power

 

[Ideanudge]

Yoel KOed Luke by a left that went quicker than Luke's patented left hook, it also hit the hard part of the dome but still managed to KO Luke due the sheer power it was carrying.

Speed cannot theoretically beat better timing, because to have better timing you would anticipate your opponents speed and overcome it with timing.

It could make sense but it depends what you take "timing" to mean. It could just mean how a shot is timed to cause maximum damage. For example as a fighter is coming forward. But that could be trumped by a fighter whose speed ensures his shot comes quickly and powerfully.

Michael Johnson vs Dustin Poirier
Aldo catching Holloway in their first fight
Woodley catching Wonderboy
Yoel catching Whittaker

Every fight that prime Melvin Guillard won.

Randleman/Cro-Cop is a strange example.

His timing and precision were surgical in that fight.

He was also faster and stronger than Murko on top of everything.
