Say what you want about Kelvin (that he is a bloated WW or whatever), but last night Weidman proved he is still a very dangerous fighter by finishing him in dominant fashion. Besides that one punch in the end of the 1st round, Kelvin wasn´t able to do anything to the former champ.
I thought that Weidman wouldn´t be able to compete on the feet against Kelvin and that Kelvin was gonna stop the takedowns and keep the fight on the feet using his defensive wrestling.... Well, to my surprise, Weidman was being competitive on the feet and landing some good punches and strong kicks....
and he completely dominated Kelvin in the grappling, it wasn´t even close.
Kicking a man while he´s down after 3 consecutive losses is easy, but we also need to give credit where credit's due. And despite the hatred some people might feel towards Weidman, we have to admit that what he said is true: that losing to 3 beasts like Luke, Yoel and Moose is no demerit, it´s just part of the fight game.
So, congratulations to Weidman for a very important win.
