Nick isn't in a fight in the vid, he's going through the motions for the camera. I don't know how in the world anyone can take anything away from the video.Doesn’t look the same lol, looks old and stiff in the recent one
I don't know why so many of you think shadow boxing means nothing, is it 100% conclusive? No, but he doesn't look good in the clip.Nick isn't in a fight in the vid, he's going through the motions for the camera. I don't know how in the world anyone can take anything away from the video.
lawler couldnt finish a lw cerrone who is known to be brittle and has thrown about 5 strikes in all his combined fights since thenHe's gonna calf kicked to oblivion.
Lawler is gonna bullrush him like he did Cerrone

Reminds me of when the Chuck Liddell training footage came out before the 3rd Tito fight lolyeah i dont get it either. if a guy looks shit on the pads very rarely hes gonna look good in the fight and vice versa. im sure it happens but it isnt the norm
Yeah that's what I'm thinking and hoping he's doing. He likes to mess around a bit and could be doing things half assed so he can surprise Lawler during the fight. I hope that's what he's doing.it can but Nick always half asses it, so in his case it shows nothing. If he were actually shadow boxing it could show a lot but he always just looks bored and puts no effort into it.
It's not about prettyness lol. You are looking at their technique, speed, snap, and power. This is shadowboxing, not pad work. Ever wonder why all high/elite level boxers spend a ton of time shadow boxing? Ever wonder why the people that think shadowboxing isn't important are the ones that don't have high level boxing? Food for thought.Prettiness of shadow boxing, pad work, and bag work mean absolutely nothing.
If you don't know that, you don't train and you don't even watch combat sports critically.

Doesn’t look the same to me, you can Diaz in there, but he looks old and stiff.The shadow boxing looks kind of the same, but his tone when speaking (not nervousness) is different and he moved so slowly putting his clothes on after the weigh in.
Diaz was never a very good boxer technically, he simply has a high output and actually goes to the body instead of head hunting which is enough vs most mma guys
It’s mind boggling how anyone has confidence in picking this fight. Lawler is obviously a shell but we haven’t seen diaz in 7 fuckin years.its mind boggling how lawler is the favorite. he's gonna get lit up like a christmas tree.
I'm glad someone else saw that!The shadow boxing looks kind of the same, but his tone when speaking (not nervousness) is different and he moved so slowly putting his clothes on after the weigh in.
