Cody wins 3 out of 5.
As skilled and as violent as Cody is, he is also a composed fighter and that's a big asset of his.
When he let's that go, well, we saw what happened. He was outclassing TJ and was also too quick for him. Some say TJ set him up, but I don't think TJ intentionally got caught by Cody. Cody just let his composure go in both fights.
He made the same mistake twice. He's young, I think he will/can learn from this. I'm not surprised he didn't learn the first time, especially due to all the emotions going into it and the results of the first fight. He was desperate to embarrass TJ and KO him as he was in the first fight.
We haven't established anything fyiBut what's quicker than "too quick for him"? Does he need to not only be too quick for him, but also too smart for him? And since we've already established that he's "too quick for him", would it even help him if he's getting to the point where he's "too smart" for him?
Cody is a better athlete.
TJ has far better fight IQ.
The gap between their athleticism isn't as great as their gap in fight IQ.
OK, I won't get you wrong.As skilled and as violent as Cody is, he is also a composed fighter and that's a big asset of his.

So you are saying that because Cody got brutally finished in his first two fights with TJ he wins the next 3?
I didn't know there were still TAM shills lurking on the board...
Nah pretty sure it was TJ that body bagged him
He was never "Outclassing TJ". He was being outclassed in both fights and yes, TJ set him up. TJ was able to do that because he's a much better fighter in every way.
And what is this talks about Cody being faster or a better athlete? TJ is both faster and a better athlete than Cody. Cody literally has nothing over TJ technically or physically.
And I liked Cody, his win over Cruz is still a phenomenal and memorable performance. But TJ is gonna go down as a top 10, possibly top 5 All time great fighter. Cody's not on his level.
Instant rematches are stupid.TJ made it look like show work the 2nd time around. Was too soon for a rematch and Cody looks worse off because of it.
Least it sold decently!
