I don't understand how some sherbros find Wonderboy boring

[Hazuki Ryo]

He's the definition of an elite striker, with some of the cleanest technics in MMA.
His side kicks made me want to study kenpo karaté, or what the hell he's been studying, but can't find it..

I think he developped his own style, a mix of kick boxing, taekwondo and of course karaté, and inspired me the most in recent years.

He completely outclassed Masvidal, which isn't a small feat on the feet. Nobody does that to Mas. He sent Luque back to training and gave Geoff Neal a run for his money. All these elite strikers got their asses handed to them.

Of course, he's not always exciting. Some of his fights are maybe too tactical, and he doesn't do well against wrestlers. Even if he gave hell to Woodley, i can't deny he lacks grappling credentials.

But who cares, even if he's not going for the title anymore, give him some great matchups and let me witness high level striking !!!!

With all the tools he has one would believe he could be a bit more aggressive with attacks, but then again he doesn't have heavy hands like that so he needs to play the distanced kicking game

His fight with Luque was great fun to watch.

Yeah i love tactial fights. It doesn't have to be a just bleed god type of fight

 

[dildos]

The Belal, Till, Woodley rematch and Rory fights were absolute snoozers.

But I did like the Woodley 1, pettis and luque fights a lot.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Styles make fights. He is fun most of the time.

 

[13Seconds]

I find him exciting but i understand if people find him boring.

 

[Robbocop]

Last time he finished a fight was in February 2016, almost 7 years ago. He point fights too much, and does not bring enough aggression even though he has great technique, and is a very classy guy.

I like watching him, don't think he is boring.

 

[Crazy Librarian]

He's very entertaining for me. But I can see how some people can see him as boring.

 

[drbolony]

Love me some Wonderbro, Shersheep only know two words "chin" and "power".

Chin power? Chin power??

 

[Xoleth]

Wboy vs Luque, Neal Masvidal & Pettis were entertaining fights

Wboy vs Woodley, Belal, Burns, & Till were boring fights... mostly because of the way his opponents fought. Till had also very boring fights vs Gas or Whittaker.

Many years ago, he had 3 performances of the nights, finishing fights.

Chin power? Chin power??

 

[ChimRichalds]

Sure he's had some slow fights, but it's always an interesting watch. I'll always root for Wonderboy.

 

[Reach4theSky]

The Woodley fights really hurt his stock..

 

[warriorfan808]

He’s one of them guys that needs a good matchup and he knows it. There’s a reason why he’s cherry picking his fights right now. Certain fights will be snoozefests and he is trying to entertain.

 

[surgeyou1]

Because he's had some of the most boring fights... probably that.

 

[drbolony]

Chin power? Chin power??

You said it player


Some fun for the thread:

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Simple. He's boring as fuck to watch unless his opponents get sick of having a staring match up and try and blitz him and get caught by a counter.

All movement based counterstrikers are usually boring as fuck to watch.

 

[Trabaho]

I like when he got low kicked vs Pettis
