So Daley has good hand position while his ribs are being blasted? And Diaz' left hand is in good position? Or his right shoulder/bicep?
JDS is looking at the fucking floor and hitting with his thumb while his left hand is by his stomach but thank god his shoulder is up!!!!
So it IS ok to drop your hands when throwing a combo or when slipping? Because that's Edgar slipping then throwing a right to the body, and I don't see either his shoulder or his hand up.
Here's the thing. This basically started because you said Lawler isn't polished for reasons like footwork, head movement, dropping his hands etc. You've been given examples of him slipping then countering, moving his feet then countering and dropping his hands but miraculously not getting hit while hitting the other guy to counter these claims. Other posters made comparisons to greats like Joe Louis to prove that the things you believe are flaws aren't necessarily flaws. They're choices. Lawler doesn't need to bounce around, he has a ton of power and works better when he's always right there in your face. He doesn't need his hands up when he slips, he's avoiding punches with movement. He can move his feet when he needs to. He uses his jab for set ups better than any southpaw, can hook off it or throw his left off it and does an excellent job mixing up the timing.
Here are a few things for you to consider: there are advantages to having your hands lower besides baiting. Like A LOT of advantages, especially in MMA which is why so many fighters do it. There are advantages to being more flat footed.
