That had nothing to do with the leg kicks, Henderson went high with a kick, that Donald ate *then* caught, and it looked as though he had to shake some cobwebs away quickly.
Weve seen some stanky leg dance moves before and I ve seen Cerrone shaken AND Ive seen him dropped. Jamie Varner dropped him here and there and Cerrone popped back up. In other words, if you watch certain fighters enough, you know when theyre wobbled. He looked more or less fine.
Don't know how you can down-talk the value of the kicks, then talk up the absolutely meaningless take-downs.
Because I said the kicks looked like he was establishing range. Someone compared them to jabs, but Id compare them to the "patty caking" arm throws fighters exchange to determine how close they are to strike effectively. As an audience member, I dont see how his kicks were useful beyond range hunting and they sure as shit werent entertaining.
Benson pretty clearly won the second and third rounds, via having the all-around more efficient output, imo.
Wouldn't call it a robbery, at all, but the result felt obvious to me.
I dont feel like either fighter won to call it obvious. Personally, I find more interest in this fight because of the alleged robbery and obvious winner accusations.
