How does Marvin Vettori have no power?

[mkt]

I always felt like if for some reason I had to fight a pro MMA fighter, prime Lombard would have been one of my last choices. Dude was scary.

Yep. Palhares would be very scary, too...especially if he didn't let go off the knee bar as you frantically tapped.

Here are the genetics of Marvin as fighter

Cardio 5/5
Strength 4.5/5
Power 1/5

Mentally

Work ethic 5/5
Toughness 4.5/5
Creativity 1/5
Fight iq 2/5

He's got all the slow fitch fibres, strong and durable. Not explosive nor smart to do anything that isn't basic and straight forward.

Simply slow twitch dominant athlete.

But then you have guys like Leben who aren't very fast or explosive but hit like a fucking truck.

 

[scytheavatar]

if he had mixed in that decent wrestling with his good cardio, he could have been a middleweight version of Merab Dvalishvili.

Merab has tremendous fight IQ and rarely puts himself in danger. He is not an Orc like Vettori who rely on his chin to win matches. Merab's striking also isn't flashy but is far more competent than what people give him credit for, similar to Belai. Vettori's striking flat out sucks.

pillowfisted with zero killer instinct cant wait until he's gone.

I think this is probably the last time we’ll ever see him main event anything.

I call it heavy handed. Glover also doesn't hit fast but heavy.

I was just being an asshole. But aside from the gold medal sprinter who’s part black or something, I can’t really think of an Italian power athlete or athlete that had notable “power.” Maybe in soccer? I don’t know.

Italians let me know brah.

Luigi Mangi...

Nevermind

Punching/KO power is natural physical gift. You either have it or you dont

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

He’s Italian. They’re good with marble though.

Hell, his head was made with it

 

[Joseph Alfano]

His biggest issue is range of motion and the way he plants his feet when he strikes. He doesn't sit on his punches and he's muscle bound in the wrong way and it prevents him from punching through his targets. When he throws its almost like he has resistance band on. He would probably benefit for a lot of stretching especially in his back and shoulders and losing a little bit of weight. Or stay jacked and really lean on grappling and wrestling

Hey don't forget about pizza and pasta now

 

[SamuraiBro]

He throws arm punches with no frame behind them. He can occasionally crack, like he wobbled Jared and Roman. However I feel like those rare times he rocks someone are almost by accident and good placement.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Italian power is designed specifically for wife slapping right?

Rocky the Italian stallion had

Do Italians famously lack power?

He'll nah rocky balboa knocked out that huge Russian guy

 

[MerAndre DvalishFili]

Ditto what everyone said about chin.

Marvin Vettori, Marvin Hagler... might be something there... (ignore Marvin eastman)

Hagler of course being a fellow Italian as well

Unrelated to the topic at hand, but let us not forget that when Marvin signed for this fight, he thought he was signing up for Roman Kopylov.

 

[TITS]

Has anyone else built like Vettori ever completely lacked power like him? It’s like he has the opposite of Anthony Johnson’s DNA.

Look who he's been going up against though. Vettori might not have much KO power against those guys, but he'd still knock your face off.

Unrelated to the topic at hand, but let us not forget that when Marvin signed for this fight, he thought he was signing up for Roman Kapylov.

He also forgot his cup and had to go behind a curtain to put it in after one of his cornermen retrieved it.

Never change, Marvin.
