Anthony Pettis on Barboza: "He gets bamby legs pretty quick."

[legkicktko]

Pre fight, When asked about Edson's ability as a fighter.

“I’ve been hit and taken it pretty well,” said Pettis. “He gets hit and gets Bambi legs pretty quick."

Well, looks dumb in retrospect. But 'Bambi Legs' Barboza could have been the stuff of legend.

Ouch. Plucked Eyebrows Pettis via TKO in rematch.

Pettis got worked last night, was expecting him to win. This quote makes him look a little worse

but he isn't wrong dude almost got knocked out by a jab

 

[FleXS]

I was impressed with how tight Barboza kept his punches and his improvement in protecting that chin, then again Pettis never got in a flow and he didnt have to worry about takedowns as much

 

[Jedi Judah]

Too bad his boxing wasnt good enough to bring bamby legs out last night

nice tattoo

 

[Conor McTouchbutt]

Bambi legs left some nice welts on that leg lol

 

[Ceez]

Wish these guys that I like so much would just suck up their loses. There's not shame in losing to guys at the most elite level, I mean he has the balls to step in there and get down we all have major respect for that.

Pettis has some ladder climbing
to do. Maybe he goes down to
145. Either way, he'll need to work
on his boxing, particularly, his jab
in order to mask his kicks better.
Especially when fighting someone
who can push him back, or
someone whi is quicker to the
draw with kicks. Too many lazy
jabs last night. I'm surprised
Barboza wasnt throwing more
high kicks to keep pettis honest.
They both were a little too tentative

Pettis vs Burns at LW
or Pettis vs Zombie at FW

Pettis got his ass whooped but he's still right about this lol

 

[Final Say]

Pettis got beat the hell up and was keeping his distance all damn fight, he didn't want to strike with Barboza

what really surprises me is that paul felder looked better

 

[chinarice]

Pettis doesn't have good hands and it is a big problem he needs to work on. His kicks are basically his only weapon ppl need to worry about and I say this as a huge fan of Pettis.

Really thought he was gonna beat Edson.

"Bambi legs Barboza" reminds me of "Barbie hands Dillashaw."

Pettis has some ladder climbing

145.

With the USADA IV ban, I would be less surprised to see Pettis go up to WW than I would be if I saw him try to cut to featherweight.

Styles make fights. Pettis is still a tkd fighter with weak hands. Really thought he wouldve evolved his striking by now

Looks like he got burned with an iron
