Gilbert Burns is a glass cannon

[rear-naked-poke]

Yeah Burns is going to lose by K.O. and Chandler isn't exactly a glass cannon. He's had KO losses but he also had wars with hard hitting strikers.

 

[BJpencil]

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.

It wasn't a pure boxing exchange but it looked like Usman and his team did their homework on Masvidal and found something with the timing (a tell). Kind of like the Conor/Aldo fight but not as obvious.

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

chanlder has been in a few legendary as good of back and forth fights as you will ever see. Burns has been in zero

 

[JustOnce]

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??

They probably aren't lol. Somethings just are easier to recall than others I think, which shapes the impression of things.

The blind leading the blind out here bro...let em know ..

Nothing about Burns says glass cannon

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Was Burns ranked at 155?

 

[Alexander_GOATanovski]

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.

Rashid Magomedov appreciation, you love to see it

Was Burns ranked at 155?

Never

Had a 7-3 UFC record there until permanently leaving for welterweight, best win at lightweight is OAM

Khamzat is a huge 170. If he wins, it'll be size and power based. Burns is not chinny though. Usman was putting it on him before he finished him. I think he had an adrenaline dump too while fighting his friend.

 

[JKS]

I wouldn't call Burns a glass cannon by any means. The guy has two losses by KO/TKO out of 4, and in 24 fights. And he's got 6 wins by KO/TKO. More of his wins are by submission and decision.

A glass cannon is someone who has most of their wins by KO and losses by that as well. Overeem is a prime example of that. 15 of 19 losses by KO/TKO and 25/47 wins by KO/TKO. So 40 of 67 fights ended by strikes one way or the other.

Or maybe he wants you to think that and follow him to the ground

 

[YungSithLxrd]

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

He fought Alvarez 10 years ago lol. His chin is definitely shaky now. Gaethje isn't the huge power hitter, but he's solid. He should have finished Chandler though.

 

[Midget Boxer]

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

A Jab isn't a KO shot. And Burns was never a big LW

His BJJ is way overrated in regards to mma. Who he submitting? He has one submission of a known fighter on his resume and that’s Cowboy Oliviera at 155. Wow

 

[The Old Guard]

Chimaev is going to knock burns out cold with the right hand right on that glass chin.

Burns is good but he's a blown up LW.

 

[theaustrianoak]

i don't think a guy that has been ko'd/tko'd twice in his entire career (17 of those in the UFC) has a bad chin

 

[Ace70 V2]

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

Yeah. He never recovered from that big shot. And props to Usman for not giving him the space to do so.

 

[DaRivv20]

So they’re giving a guy who wrestled at about 203-5 lbs a guy who used to fight at 155?


Are they trying to kill Burns?

 

[BigDramaShow26]

Yeah I think Chimaev is gonna run through him. He's much bigger and he's going to keep the fight standing.

 

[NoSmilez]

Glass cannon is like Manhoef, Manuwa and the apocalyptic fighter . Burns is just normal. You hit him hard enough then you can stop him.
