So we all so the fight with Dustin and I think it's fair to say Max did seem affected with the move to LW going up against Dustin in that weight class. Max put on a fantastic fight however you could see that obviously the higher the weight class the heavier the hitters and this is what affected Max.
Max is one of my favourites but I'll always say if I feel certain things affect these fighters, flaws, holes in their game etc.. however despite that I really do feel Max can absolutely cut it in the LW division if he happened to be more active there.
Looking back on the fight I think this is just where Max struggled a little with being hit hard, he gave Dustin a run for his money but he's not used to fighting in this division so for him to take a step up I thought was not only great of him to do so but was a learning curve too, which I think would be good for him in hindsight if he happened to be more active in that division.
Of course naturally he is FW but I don't think he's out of his depth in LW either, I just think he'd need a bit of time to adjust and get used to it, find his feet and then be smashing his way through the competition as a legit contender.
So what are your thoughts? Do you feel with a bit more LW experience Max could cut it more in the division or do you feel that FW is where Max should stay and keep the competition at a high for himself?
I thought this could be quite interesting to see what you guys think.
