I think something was wrong with Johnny Walker

He seems to be a bad combination of terrible awareness in regards to anticipate punches coming, reckless agression and average/bad chin.
 
Walker is an all out idiot, that's what's wrong with him.

From doing the worm and injuring himself (might still plague him to this day) to going party on fight week, underestimating his opponent, dancing around in the cage and getting brutally KTFO and blaming his former team for that...

Then going to SBG, where the only technique they teach is weight cutting and saying yes to all his bullshit, we gotta thank them for the sacrifice to the JBG.
 
Don’t see anything wrong with his legs during the walkout other than his dancing is pretty bad.

Think we’re reaching here if we’re trying to find something wrong with him prefight. As has been mentioned, he truly is the ultimate glass cannon. Seeing him get KOed is nothing new and it is always spectacular.
 
Walker's flashy offense often distracts from how lacking his defense is. In this way he reminds me of Keith Jardine - the master of herky-jerky fighting, who either mystified his opponents with his unorthodox style, or got violently knocked out.
 
I think his problem is his massive weight cut. Dude is a HUGE LHW. We all know extreme cuts can weaken your chin. He might need to go to HW, but at this point, his chin may be already cracked.
I agree, he cuts too much weight, he doesn't have a strong enough chin to cut that much.
 
Walker is so fucking hittable it's unreal. Watch the one two he threw before he got knocked out, it's extremely sloppy, he brings he's jab back to his waist rather than his chin. Anyone with some basic training would catch him after that. It's a shame because I like walker. He needs to work on his defence and I think he should go to heavyweight too
 
Some people here never been hit in the head. Not even a punch, have you ever banged your head extra hard on the bottom of a table, door frame of a car or felling while snowboarding/skiing lol?

You get your shit sparked for way less than the punch Walker hate last night. He just fell weird, because weird things happen when your actual brain bouncing inside your skull.
 
He's just got that Bambi thing going on. A lot of tall, awkward fighters are like that. They always seem really uncoordinated and on shaky legs when something happens.
 
I mentioned this as we were wathcing it live - As he was doing his walkout, it looked like he almost stumbled, or his knees locked up....And then we get one of the weirdest K.O's I have ever seen. The way he fell was just strange.



Edit: yes, I wish I had a clip of the walkout stumble, but I do not.
But @KazDibiase did -


Watch his legs at 0.23 and just focus on the legs.
 
Watch his legs from 0.23, it still looks to me like they lock up with each step, and he does like a weird drunk mans step, but maybe not as much a stumble as i remembered.
And thanks @KazDibiase
I see something, but he's such a character. I can't be sure it wasn't part of his shtick.

That's the slightest of stumbles though. It's not like his knee buckled.
