Decent fight, didn’t expect Anderson to look so good against Adesanya.
Anytime Silva led he tagged Izzy.Would have loved to see prime Silva vs Adesanya.
I don't think the fight plays out a whole lot differently but SIlva's speed and reflexes are not what they were at this point.
2 counter strikers that seemingly have a harder time looking good when their opponents aren't engaging them for them to counter.
I was just happy that Anderson didnt get finished, and tbh, he looked serviceable all things considered
I wanna say that isreal carried him a little. Not intentionally, but the idea that isreals style gives anderson space and opportunity to do his thing and look decent as well. cardio and physicality (what anderson is losing with age) aren't as big of a factor when they fight at that pace.I was just happy that Anderson didnt get finished, and tbh, he looked serviceable all things considered
Adesanya beats any version of Silva; if you think otherwise, you're a moron.
What about Prime Silva v . Cannonier? Does he make it to the second round?Good fight. 44 year old Silva did better vs Izzy (lost 29-28) than prime Whittaker (KOd in 2).
Prime Silva finishes Izzy within 2 rounds.
I'd say Izzy is pretty good at countering, but i certainly agree that he's not as much of a counterstriker as some people make him out to be.Anytime Silva led he tagged Izzy.
Izzy has the most success when's he leading and Silva has the most success when he's countering.
Anytime Silva led both fighters looked sloppy but when Izzy led it was beautiful to watch from both sides.
It's weird to me when people call Izzy a counter striker.
Anderson - 9 title defense finishes in 11 title defenses + 3 1st round LHW KOsAdesanya beats any version of Silva; if you think otherwise, you're a moron.
How so? Not completely disagreeing, but more curious - Anderson Silva was pretty special in his day when he didn't have to worry about takedowns (which is something that makes most strikers human).Adesanya beats any version of Silva; if you think otherwise, you're a moron.
