Ok so basically Dariush says there was nothing surprising in Charles performance but it was only him who had an off night. Meh.

I mean Charles fans and him are trying to convince us that he lost against Islam, because it was not his night, so why not ? <36>
 
He threw endless GNP strikes that hit more canvas than Charles head. He gassed. Gassing causes the feeling of slow motion. Fight smarter next time.
 
What interested me is he said Charles wrestling still had major holes and he anticipates Islam to be a problem for him because of that still.
 
Cant tell if Benny is the most chill guy or if he's really not set on becoming champ. He says hes in the contender mix but with a performance like that and his age I think he's pretty much done in terms of title contention.

Still a fan but he hasnt fixed his holes of energy management and with the killers in the top 5 he's got serious competition. Interested to see how he bounces back.

He’s a really solid, well-rounded fighter but it was always possible that he would prove to be “just” a top 5-10 fighter than a champ or perennial contender.
