Ian Garry Constantly Touching Gloves

[Xuh]

If he tried to touch my gloves I would just see red and knock him out bro

 

[Ayreon]

It’s about respect
Prates didn’t have to oblige
Some fighters touch gloves
Some sherdoggers touch grass

That's not about respect, that's about that when you are winning and landing on your opponent you are all kisses and smiles and touching gloves

I'd have liked to see Garry kissing and smiling and touching gloves when he was getting his ass whooped in the last round

If you are friendly you are friendly always not only when you win.

Instead, you show respect after the fight

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

It will be beautiful when he gets flatlined for that.

Let him try that shit with Khamzat.

 

[nonoob]

It's probably a subconscious thing and they are not conscious they are doing such tbh.

I'm totally good with that in training or sparring, but No Way In Hell during a fight.

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

I always interpret it as them being so scared they really just wanna be buddies instead of trying to knock each other out.

I got this sense from Gary last night.

I don't have a problem with it when two fighters/friends go to war, and give the occasional props to each other for something they hespect. But when you do it constantly, several times a round, not only does it become cringey, but it also kills the momentum after a certain point.

It's such a weird MMA quirk too. In Boxing you touch gloves once at the behest of the ref and then that's it, you rarely see boxers want to touch gloves in the actual fight.

Multiple glove touches in a fight makes it seem like it's a sparring session than a true fight.

That so true, it is weird it happens in MMA as often as it does.

 

[Motivated BJ Penn]

Its the cuck mentality, probably high fives the bull the same way when hes having fun with teh wife

 

[fortheo]

I hate it. It makes it seem like a sparring contest, which benefits Ian because he likes to point fight as if it is a sparring contest.

 

[DoctorStoppage]

It fits because he fights like he’s sparring

 

[StewDogg11]

When he had Prates’ back and he kept stepping on his calf with all his body weight should be borderline illegal.

 

[MisfitsBR]

imagine a fight between Jean Silva and Ian Garry

 

[HHJ]

There is precisely nothing from stopping his opponents from faking the touch and cracking him.

Blame his opponents - not Ian.

Nahhhhh

You can be mad at him for doing it if u want. It's disrupting the flow of what we want to actually watch.

We didn't come here to see people be friends instead of fight. Knock that shit off

 

[BowserJr]

Sneaky trick to get his opponent to fight less aggressive, shit works bro.

That's the sense I got

 

[VAfan]

no idea why this would bother anyone.

 

[WildShrimper]

no idea why this would bother anyone.

I've been holding the belief that Yair was only able to get that KO on the Korean Zombie is because he stalled the action with 10 seconds left in the fight.

 

[kuroro]

Gary thinks he’s Wonderboy, but Wonderboy isn’t trying to steal rounds by sneaking in takedowns. They need to find a way to eradicate that. Benn and Eubank had a war and reluctantly both touched once at the beginning of the 12th, mma feels like it doesn’t even matter. Tune in to watch 2 dudes spar and touch gloves every 2 seconds

completely fucks with the legitimacy of the fight

 

[Hog-train]

Sneaky trick to get his opponent to fight less aggressive, shit works bro.

Agreed. It's a purposeful tactic to try to get opponents to slow their roll.

 

[B0l0joe]

prates probably saw that his teammate Silva loves to do it so much therefore he must oblige.

 

[pamirec]

What about hugging mid fight? Crocop/Barry.
