I believe that many people overrate Garry or underestimate Shavkat. Garry caused a lot of problems, but it was obvious that Shavkat was fighting with an injury, which was confirmed by the knee surgery he recently underwent. I think a healthy Shavkat would confidently beat Garry, and they might meet again in the future for the title. Out of all the fighters in the welterweight division, the only one who could give Shavkat real trouble is JDM.

Garry is pretty good, wouldn't surprise me if he gave Belal or JDM trouble. But, I think sometimes long guys look bad vs other long guys, as they can't work their games as they normally do.

According to the UFC, Garry is 6'3" and Shavkat is 6'1".

People definitely underrate Garry. He's doing well against top competition.+
 
Shavkat is fighting injured a lot these days it seems like.

'Ian Garry is underrated or Shavkat is overrated'. Fixed it for you.

They're both good, but styles make fights. There's only so much you can infer from their fight before it just becomes personal speculation. I want to see both of them against the other top contenders to learn more.

Isn't Belal pretty much the best welterweight and no one is going to beat him?

Sorry I didn't watch last weekend, unless something changed around here... did Belal get added to the Woodley/Usman pile?
 
How about it its fuckin neither. That was one night of all the nights that have existed. I bet another match probably will be very different.

I think Garry now is being rated right around where he should be. He is good, top 5, but people see his flaws and saw him crawling away ass up against Prates, that's shit you're simply never going to see from Shavkat. Ian still has time to develop and is a very cerebral fighter with a pretty good understanding of body mechanics. He'll be fine and stay at the top for a while unless his chin is cracked and cursed.

I do agree that Shav was being underrated after the Garry fight for a time, as many didn't realize he was injured, though I expect that to level out as well when he comes back to fight JDM. It seems to be back to normal here.

I know you're going to think I am trolling you, but it was actually a great fight between Belal and JDM that you should watch. Yes, he's been added to the pile, but JDM forced an exciting fight out of him. 660 attempted significant strikes between them, under a round of total control time.

How about it its fuckin neither. That was one night of all the nights that have existed. I bet another match probably will be very different.
Man I was sad as hell to see that Sabu died. RIP Hardcore Legend
 
They're both overrated, so is the current WW belt holder.
 
lol if anything it's been the opposite

people hate Garry so they underrate him and they love Shavkat so they overrate him (potentially, we don't really fucking know before more fights take place.. but generally speaking)
