CM PUNK
The one he had w John Wayne Parr was eye opening for me. For somebody who's had kickboxing experience his hands looked shitty. I mean it was super light sparring especially on JWP's end but Joe's boxing mechanics were just awful. And he gassed like right away. Aside from CM Punk, I just can't give him an edge over anybody else. Even a 0-0 figther if they have been training MMA for a while and fought amateur.There was a video of Rogan sparring on youtube, but it was taken down. He gasses in like < 10s
I couldn't agree more. I didn't even post with the intention of insulting anyone. It's sad because I know of someone who was denied an opportunity to go to college because of his comfortability with the use of slang and inability to know when to stop using it. Most of these people are way smarter than their grammar or spelling would suggest, but since you are tested on what you put on paper if this becomes the comfort zone it could make it's way onto a college equivalency test.I hear ya.
I can live with spelling errors and bad grammar.
But "could of" is just such a misunderstanding of what the word "of" means.
It doesn't have any business being in the same context as "could".
But an easy mistake. In speech "could've" sometimes REALLY sounds like "could of", to the untrained non-native english speaker.
(Especially with a British accent)
Non-native english speakers are also a bit unused to short form terms (except the most common ones like "it's" and "I'm".)
When I was younger I remember being confused by it myself while listening to some brits, thinking "Why are they saying COULD OF?...is that a thing"
Took a while, and after I'd read more in English I realized they had to be saying "could've"
