How'd Rumble KO Glover so easily?

Because Rumble was the fucking man. Can't think of many, if any scarier fighters than Rumble.

Still heart breaking we lost him so young.
 
Rumble was probably the hardest hitter in 205 history imo at least punching wise, DC even said that Rumble hit him the hardest out of anyone, Rumble's weakness was his ground game, Jones would of just taken him down and RNC him

Power is unexplainable in a lot of ways. It’s a similar way to how Manhoef KOd Hunt when nobody else could for a long time. Some shots land perfectly or some fighters have the ability to knock out anybody while others can’t. On the other hand, Rumble couldn’t knock out Arlovski. It can be pretty unpredictable.

Rumble did break Arlovski's jaw.
 
1. Uppercut ?
2. Maybe Glover needs to get hit a bunch of times for his chin to get warmed up
 
What’s even crazier is how Andrei Arlovski and Dave Branch both went the distance with Rumble.
 
Forgot that Gus finished Glover via strikes. Forgot how good he was, considering how bad he’s looked later in his career.
 
Great punching power, great accuracy, Glover didn't see the shot coming and he ducked into it.
 
It's a flash ko, silly. Can happen at any point in anyone's career, the fact it was by Rumble just made it happen a little easier

Seriously, have y'all never played Undisputed 3???

On top of Rumble having living death power, that was also perfect timing and placement. Glover ducked into that uppercut and never saw it coming. Plus if I remember correctly, Glover was somewhat overconfident coming into that fight, and publicly stated he saw holes in Rumble's game, and started the fight too aggressively

Good call, I think Glover was overconfident that he would be able to take him down immediately. Clearly Rumble was training for this uppercut when Glover ducks down, he timed it perfectly.

If Glover survives that early power I think he takes the fight via his grappling.
 
Rumble vs Arlovski is a hugely underrated fight. You get to see the power of Rumble in that fight for sure.

I think as well what made Rumble quite unique at LHW was that he could land serious power at long range.
 
It was Anthony Johnson. Nuclear strikes in his hands and feet. Our closest version of a Tyson. That's how.

Well, it's ok. I guess. Maybe. Let people have positive thoughts about whomever. No harm anymore.

No. Back then, Glover described his style as "Mike Tyson", meaning he would KTFO his opponent.
He turned to very mostly grappling after he slowed down too much. Says the speed isn't there anymore. Which makes perfect sense at 43 and so many wars
 
IMO most of his LHW KO victims at LHW beat him if they manage to get through the first like DC did. Davis only didn't because Davis didn't have a good enough standup game. Those KO's might look brutal but your Gus's Baders and Glovers had a chance IMO.
