Garry won the fight but lost the war

[Ayreon]

It's a strange feeling that leaves this fight. Ian won on the scorecards but in the street or with just another round he would surely have been killed.

Does this in any way diminish the value of his victory?

He’s a point fighter in his heart of hearts

Teh streets bro

Pretty similar fight to Diaz vs Edwards. A hated favorite looking good against a fan favorite before barely surviving the fifth round almost comeback.

with just another round he would surely have been killed.

 

[tritestill]

If things were different, he would have lost. Blah, blah, blah stfu.

I mean they agree to a sanctioned bout, with rules and time limits and us fans agree to watch the bout under those specific circumstances. No harm, no foul.

Prates didn't have enough gas to finish within the parameters of the time limit while in a dominant position to do so.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Prates looked OK for a couple minutes of a 25min fight
If only he cut back to half a pack a day and actually tried to fight during the first 3 rounds
He was losing till he lost

I really don't like the cuck at all... but you are completely retarded.

It was a very convincing win and he looked good.

He took a fight on short notice against a dangerous rising prospect and dominated most of the fight. Garry did very well. Ko power is great, but fight iq won this one.

 

[BullyKutta]

How?

He just beat an incredibly dangerous opponent

Won the battle. Winning the war.

Obviously. All street fights last 6 rounds.

 

[FriskyRandy]

I thought Gary looked great. He's the better fighter.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Didn't Garry take the fight on bout 3 weeks notice? A 5 round fight at that, he'd have been justified stipulating it being a 3 rounder. Also if he was winning every round by the time the bell sounded and the reset allowed the momentum to halt, why do you think on the streets Prates would have won because of the 5th round, why would the complexion of the fight have looked anything like that if there were no breaks? You fucking stupid fans gotta stop talking.

Full Camp Ian can go to war. That was short notice and he still had similar cardio, then prates.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

on the streets lots of guys with guns would've finished both dudes. wtf is the point of "on the streets" lmao

 

[Ayreon]

He took the

He’s a point fighter in his heart of hearts

I think so.

But I also think that his fighting IQ is WAY above the average. He fights in a very clever way. Look at those td attempt, he kept spamming just to gain minutes. And it worked.

The meaning of my thread is that tonight he was the better fighter but not the better warrior.

On the street means with no time limit, not with shotguns and hand grenades you dumbass
