Media "Bones" Adesanya crazy spinal strength

[GaryEric]

Me too on both counts, Rob looked great that night I think, Izzy was just on another level.

Here is hoping Rob can make some adjustments , come back and give him a war

Doubt it, he's way too slow and rigid. The only ways to beat Izzy are either kicking the shit out his legs or taking him down. He has an absolutely perfect build for counter striking. I can't stand Izzy but it's obvious he completely outclasses Whittaker in any form of boxing.

Rob is not slow

Rob is not slow

Comparatively he's molasses in January. Izzy is already out of the way and throwing his counter by the time Whittaker's leaping punches even get close.

His offensive wrestling looked great against Cannnonier (though he was nearly done at that point I guess), Izzy's TDD has held up so far though.

His right boob helps him maintain his balance as he leans back for the check hook

Fuck, i remember watching that live.

speed and slickness are different things.
rob has a lightning quick jab and very fast explosive combos. give credit where its due.

 

[Genisys]

Whenever will Sherdog realise people get knocked out by punches they don’t see instead of it always being about “KnOckOuT pOWeR”

Sometimes it's just precision. Robert was looking directly at Israel when he got punched. It was just a precise counter to an overextension. I think Robert would do much better in a rematch. He might even win.

Greatest MW of all time.

He has fast punches but closes the gap very slowly. He kept leaping in against Adesanya and got tagged nearly every time, that leaping in wildly is not ever going to work. It telegraphs his punches so much that it will make it impossible to win.

 

[Coolkid666]

ever had one of these skinny bastards recoil off your face

Yup. Its like getting head kicked by Crocop

 

[jitzmonkey]

That lean back (whatever it's called) evasion is a common evasive technique seen in Thai Boxing.

Those wrist straps aren't for wall hanging

is it titty power

<Lmaoo>

 

[thehighking]

He's more fluid than water.

 

[kalabula]

That destruction of Costa is right up there with Figs fight with Joe for recent one sided beatings.

 

[CleverNameEh]

Most fighters' backs would snap attempting these swayback strikes, let alone generating enough knockout power to put durable guys away. This is despite the skinny / frail looking build as well. Do not rush in on this man. He would be worthy of the title "bones".

El oh El at spinal strength.

Ewe stoopid meng

 

[MMAudit]

It's entirely to do with his timing, come on Sherbros, you should know this. You can knock someone down with a jab if they aren't ready.

bink

especially if they are on a load of Xanax...

it wasn't a KO anyways
