What’s the right word to apply here?
Exposed? Dominated? Outclassed? All the above?
I feel like I was well aware of Chito’s shortcomings especially as a big fan of his.
Full credit to Cory Sandhagen for pressuring Chito and exposing all those weakness.
First time I’ve seen all those problems in Chito’s game being showcased in harmony in one fight.
I thought a 5 round fight would work in favour of Chito’s “slow start” style but it’s clear he’s no tactician.
Am I being too hard on him? Can he/will he fix the holes in his game?
I think Chito will improve from this vs those type of fighters Cory is....but will try to maintain his old style.
His slow style works well if he can prevent being taken down.
Thats what I think his biggest problem is.
He just showed vs stop tier grapplers, like sterling, who now have a perfect checklist game plan against him now.
Not that they didn't know before, but, they can piggy back off Cory's gameplan and do it better in areas they are stronger.
Funny, how Vera started taking risk at the end of the 5th round...but, his sense of urgency vs what round he was, was not there...
I think Vera needs to start turning it up more...He can go slow like he does..but.maybe last 30 seconds of each fight turn it up..
I still think he has what it takes ...I just think he needs to change it up. Do his same method but start pouring it on more...Cory was really good at evading him though...
Personally, I think he needs to train out of a better gym.
I really think he can be champ but needs to switch camps.
He has allot more to offer.
Bisping...isnt saying it here but same reaction...Vera could have done much better but look like he was dumb imo...he needs to go switch camps imo. Vera could have had a much much better gameplan...for SURE ..but it was not there.
Dude go to 7:37 of the video on what the corner man was saying to Vera...are you here....I mean is that a refection of the camp he is in...or Vera ? ...I go with he needs a new camp...what camp do you guys like him at? I say AKA or Jackson....
