DDP proved to me he is for real.

I never hated on him, mind you.
But I did think his ascension was a tad too fast, and most of his fights ended too fast to really believe he was for real ("it's just the competition"... "he just caught him by surprise"... but after Bobby, I realized he was for real.
Tonight, he proved (to me) he is elite!

All hail to the champ!!

Thoughts?

That's some very effective lunge punching he is doing. Izzy trying to lean back and away, but DDP made extra effort to extend those lunge punches a couple extra inches and it paid off.
...I was thinking Izzy would try to time up a counter punch, catch him coming in.
...I had Izzy up 2 - 1. DDP, I thought, was looking worn out, but he found that extra gear in the 4th. So far, DDP's scrappy awkward style is paying off.
