Does anyone else feel like Pettis wasn't given enough credit for investing in the body and leg kicks? He had The left side of Thompson's ribs bruised up and both of Wonderboy's legs.
For a two-round fight, both guys took a shitload of damage.
My bias was definitely towards Pettis in this fight. But I was super nervous for him eating those punches from the bigger guy. I saw the rounds a lot closer than the story was told, but could totally understand if people thought Thompson edged both.
I just think the press and commentators really undersold his kicks and the fact the superman punch comes off of a low kick feint.
Props to both guys, but I think that strike was a lot more than "out of nowhere." Pettis lulled him into it.
