Gilbert Burns is a glass cannon

[Midget Boxer]

Got knocked out and wobbled by Hooker. Then dropped by a jab.

He's in the same category as Chandler and Walker as glass cannons

Maybe Chimaev will touch Burns with the jab and he will comically fly backwards like Johnny Walker did.

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

Usman was piecing him up before he got dropped with the jab, and he was obviously depleted when he fought Hooker

Burns isn't a world-beater, but he is a solid, good WW, and one of the worst matchups for Khamzat because of his BJJ

Seems like people are trying to discredit Burns as much as possible before Khamzat crushes him lol

 

[Luthien]

He won't make it out of R1

 

[HeDidn'tWantTheFight]

Chandler's not a glass cannon. He would've never survived that Gaethje brawl if he was.

I don't think anyone's denying that Gilbert is though. Usman did what champions do during their fight. He figured out Gilbert's weakness, and formulated his game plan around it, which was steady damage from the distance until he crumbles. Yes the Masvidal KO was more iconic, but that was just one slick and well planned move. The Burns fight was his most thorough and impressive performance in my book.

I don't know if he is, but not based on those gifs.

I think Burns ran right into that right hand right on his chin in the first, then that left hook was right on the jaw.

But not the one posted for Usman, but the second knock down, it did look a bit like a light blow, unless Burns was hurt from before.

Yooo... that's Khamzat's face, lol.

 

[Eredin]

Pretty much but him and Chandler actually know they are and fight like it.

Michael Chandler is a glass cannon? Did you see his fight with Alvarez and Gaethje?

This is the same right hand that knocked Masvidal out cold, he gets dropped with the jab a bit after this

 

[Zed237]

Yep, this fight is likely a ko outcome.

Yea I never was under such impression but I haven't followed Burn's career too deeply to be sure. Who knew Burns would become a top WW when he was getting finished by Hooker? Hespect.

The Masvidal fight was more impressive to me. Masvidal was never KO'd and his boxing is what he's best known for. Usman has come a long way with his boxing.

 

[kenetics]

If that picture of khazmat without his beard is real. I'm sure his chin is glass too lol.

I don't know how this stuff starts, Burns got KO'd by Hooker (who was actually pretty good back then) when he was cutting too much weight, and got finished by Usman who is #1 P4P, he has never been knocked out outside of those. I feel like people see TS's argument, don't think about it much, and just go on for the next 5 years saying Burns is a glass cannon... same thing with Chandler, we literally just saw him take huge shots from one of the hardest hitting LW's and people still say he is a glass cannon like what??

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Khamzat has too much power and Burns has a questionable chin, this is known

Khamzat KO round 1

 

[fortheo]

Antother gif for you TS.

Not the best chin, but I wouldn't go as far as saying "a glass cannon"

I think khamzat beats him because he's much bigger, though.

 

[NoSmilez]

I don't get why people are shitting so hard on Burns? He is chinny now? I don't even get how he is a glass cannon. He isn't stopping people or getting stopped often

 

[Fight Professor]

The excuses already started.

 

[HeDidn'tWantTheFight]

The Masvidal fight was more impressive to me. Masvidal was never KO'd and his boxing is what he's best known for. Usman has come a long way with his boxing.

Yes, but it wasn't a pure boxing exchange. Usman feinted a level change and used Masvidal's hypervigilance against him to set up the shot.
