No way at all. Till executed an excellent strategy to neutralize Gastelum. But nobody really got beat up in that fight. Israel went toe to toe with Gastelum, where Gastelum is most dangerous, for 5 rounds and was trying to kill him and almost did. Also the world found out more about Gastelum and how good he was in that loss to Israel than any of his wins.
Till did what he should have and needed to do and props to him for it. But most, including his own team assumed if he were to go toe to toe with Gastelum as he did against Masvidal and a few others, then Kelvin would have the dangerous edge. The strategy he used against Gastelum would not work against a guy like Israel who can match his footwork and has the length on him. Also, had Israel used that strategy to beat Kelvin or anyone else, most people would be calling him a boring point fighter and shit on him.
As far as the Tavares fight goes, that was a 5 round one sided ass whooping. Wasn't much more you could ask for. Brad ate some huge shots and would not stay down. Just because he didn't KO him doesn't mean that he didn't show that he was in a different class. Everyone talks about Robs long lay off but Brad has been away for a bit longer yet no one talks about ring rust for him. Otherwise, very impressive performance by the kid. It looks like at his age things are only looking up but there are plenty of killers to test where he is. We will see. He is 10 years younger than our Champ. Crazy!!!
