Media Aspinall's suspect cardio: Gane has to survive the first round basically

[AndrewGolota48]

Except that doesn't work when there are millions of others witnessing the same thing and almost none of them hold the same view as the one blabbing it because they feel the need to say something about the fight.

"Evidence" in the context of what we're talking about (a public sporting event with millions of viewers) vs in a court of law are far from the same thing.

Are you actually so stupid as to not understand this???

Again, it's like you have a crippling addiction to looking stupid.

Weak cope response, even for your scurrying rat standards.

I'd be shocked if Gane makes it past the 1st round.

This is exactly what will happen:

Lol exactly. There is no reason for Tom to strike with Gane. Instead just get inside range, take him down and finish him there.
On the ground Tom is a way too slick for Gane to survive more than 3 mins.

Wait...so you think they're the same thing? Like, for real??

I mean I keep calling you cosmically stupid but with the understanding that much of your perceived lack of intellect is due to your bizarre hatred of one fighter clouding your judgement. That said...buddy...if you don't understand the difference between courtroom evidence and evidence in the context we're talking about...you might actually be as stupid as my hyperbolic statements are saying you are.

Fucking hell dude, you should stop. I'm not even trying to be mean, I'm legit trying to help you.

I'm sure at some point if someone had enough cardio and could survive the early rounds without getting KO'd, that they could get Tom exhausted and in real trouble. But that's a lot of ifs. And I don't see Cyril Gane being that guy.

I think Gane has a puncher's chance here, with Aspinall being too fast and being a better wrestler having all the advantages.

I accept this framing.

It’s an unknown that camps are definitively hoping to exploit, and it’s silly to pretend otherwise. Nobody is going into these fights planning to risk getting KO’d standing in 1-2 rounds. They know that’s the danger zone. Even someone like Pav probably wasn’t looking to get into a firefight so quickly even if he also was getting those types of KOs too. They all want to survive, maybe not stand at all, test that heart and chin smartly, etc.

It’s McGregor all over again, no matter how much that comparison will piss a lot of people off. Offensive juggernauts ARE dangerous. But they may also have weaknesses, and their power can be neutralized later in fights.

THAT SAID I also agree that I’m not sure Gane really is that guy to exploit this. IMO he’s the better striker with more proven cardio, which in a longer fight lends him points, but his chin and defensive grappling are known weaknesses. He’s a strong striker yes but Tai badly dropped him and Ngannou KO’d him in training. The grappling is of course well known. Those aren’t really the strengths and weaknesses to expose Tom. They can happen sure, but again to go back to someone like McGregor’s offensive rise, it’s not like Tom’s running into a Diaz that was a bad matchup. He’s got a better chance than many are giving him though as Tom strikes with everybody and his grappling is very much a far distant 2nd plan (and usually only after the striking plan has faltered).

Of the current roster Almeida is IMO the most likely to test Tom’s weaknesses and unknowns.

Wasn't a heel hook attempt, it was a scissor sweep from Francis. Go watch the tape back.

And yeah equally as humliatling that 1 legged Ngannou with probably no camp at all still did that to him. Gane embarrassed himself in a couple fights.

Heel hook, scissor sweep, whatever. My point was just that he had a low IQ moment which lost him the fight. Yea Gane hasn't looked very good the past while. I think we might see a different Gane for this fight though, he put down Fifa and appears to be very locked in and focused. Its not likely he'll win but I think he'll do a lot better than most think he will.

Just admit you're wrong, this is grasping at straws. Have the emotional maturity and integrity of a grown man.

I sincerely hope you're joking. I legitimately tried helping you because you truly need it and you just couldn't help yourself. And now actually used the word "integrity" when you spam this forum daily with dishonest hackery because some big Brit has your panties all twisted.

Really sad, but this meltdown you're having could've been avoided.

i thought he had some kinda chart saying he has the best cardio the world has ever known?
