He hasn't fought in like 6 months! Give him a break! Being shredded 365 days of the year ain't healthy for the mind bro either bro.
Oh im not trying to knock the guy. I mean i didnt really care for him cuz iv read some assole stories about him but in his coupla posts here he seems kinda apolegetic (to himself) n just seems to want to make one last push for the top. Maturity will do that to you. He's like 33+ i think ? I can relate, im gonna hit 30 this year n there are things that i want to achieve as a fighter before its too late.
As to the weight thing, i didnt mean like he should get shredded. He should get smaller (IMO). Maybe that'll make a difference in his speed/cardio/fluidity. Areas that have been a problem for him.
I know hes like 220(?) i think right now n is trying to slim down but even at MW hes always looked a lil beefy(?) just his genetics i guess (n past mistakes). Maybe WW is where its at for him. When was the last if ever he was at that weight ? I mean a nice SLOW healthy weight loss. Hes got lots of power n his techniques is as good as its gonna get (maybe some tweaks) but running etc will help your cardio only so much. If he hits a wall n his cardio's not improving then maybe thats the answer ?
Bar that i think everything else, at his stage in his career, is mental. His pacing,state of mind,strategy,clarity of mind,application, thats what has to improve to get on top.
Anyway like i said this is just my armchair analysis
and it is what is.
Phil ,if you're reading this, I wont lie n say im a fan (or have been) but i'll definitely be taking interest in your career for a bit.
Hey at least im being honest :icon_chee
P.S- Please please dont take that easy way out. You risk damaging your future in more ways than u can think and its easy as hell in Thailand.
I think most true fans will admit its not the win or lose but HOW a man fights is what counts. (lol....Korean Zombie anyone ?)
Peace out !
