If Topuria lands as much as Aldo did in the 1st fight, does Max get knocked out?

[Goat Poster]

I think he also laded a good number of strikes in the 2nd one but if I remember correctly he did a bit better in the 1st fight.

Max got knocked down by a worn out Gaethje breathing with a broken nose for 15+ min. Now he is cutting 10 more pounds than he did for that fight and his face has been looking rough for a week.


Do the people picking Max or thinking he has a much better chance than the odds give him think he will just absorb similar punishment to the one he got in the Aldo fight? Does anyone think that he can't absorb similar punches and still pick him?
Max is in the run for the GOAT chin, I'm not gonna pretend it's super shocking if he just walks trough every punch like he normally does. But I will be surprised...

Even if Max wins it I think is more likely than not we will see him either stumble(never seen him stumble I think, at most would say stunned in the Dustin fight) or get knocked down. Do people picking him think he will just demolish Topuria or that he will walk trough the punches like nothing like he does to mostly everyone?

Topuria has much better boxing than Aldo and more power, if ilia lands as much as Aldo did then Max is going down

But your gaethje knockdown take is silly, he was off balance in the pocket and popped right back up, it wasn’t a chin check knockdown

He was definitely rocked badly in the Dustin fight, he looked like he was going to get finished in the 2nd round, and would have been actually knocked down if the fence didn’t keep him up

I honestly have a hard time seeing Max ever getting knocked out. If Volk, Gaejthe, and Vintage-Era Mcregor couldn't. I don't see El Matador being the answer.

Head CLEAN off.

Once upon a time I had a hard time ever seeing Hendo, Ngannou, Conor, Masvidal and many others getting knocked out.

 

[markg171]

Remind me how the Aldo and Justin fights went again?

Cause Wikipedia's telling me Max got 3 KOs there so interesting choice mate.

Max has been fighting for 10 yrs at the highest level and none have been able to figure him out…But also funny that you placed Masvidual in that bunch.

The Mas KO was scary brutal.

If he loses conciseness, he will be knocked out

None of those fighters possess the knock out power Ilia has.

 

[tritestill]

All things are possible, it is a fight. Nothing can be said that's an absolute about what will happen. Max never getting knocked out before is not an indication that he will never be knocked out, everybody got a ticket and iron jaws don't last forever.

Agreed.
Dustin stunned him like three more times.

This fight is hard to predict. Leaning Ilia, but Emmet did survive a 5 round beating from him so it's not like he KO's everyone.

 

[xhaydenx]

lol if Topuria lands anything clean at all Max is gonna be face down ass up on the canvas.

No, funny is watching Shane Gillis doing a Trump impression. Masvidal had been fighting for a very long time with only 1 questionable stoppage, so seeing him get his lights put out was on the same level to me.

Max has been hurt before, just got knocked down in his previous fight, is doing a Roy Jones Jr. mistake of cutting back down and along goes his durability, and he has taken a record amount of strikes to the head. I mean, how many more reasons do you need. Max could be sleeping on the canvas this weekend.

What gaethje k.d. take? "Max got knocked down by a worn out Gaethje breathing with a broken nose for 15+ min" I just stated facts.

But going further he really got cleanly knocked down.

Gets hit to the head, head snaps back, seems to lose control of the legs for a milisecond and falls back(not in the direction the punch landed). Seems like a clear KD to me and not someone getting caught off balance. I get that it's the kind of shot that fucks up your balance more than knocks you out but if a fresher fighter lands a shot like that seems likely that Max starts doing the chicken dance...


Did he lose balance in the Dustin fight? He for sure felt the punches and was hurt but I don't remember him stumbling around.
He for sure got hurt bad but I think he "froze" or was stunned more than lost his footing.

LOL c'mon men.
The back of a shampoo bottle is probably too advanced reading for a brain like yours. Dunno how you managed to register here, you seem like the kind of guy to get 10-7ed by a captcha.

 

[Skarsgard]

I dunno, man. Max can be hittable, but let's not pretend Ilia is impervious in there. He looked uncomfortable against Emmett when he wouldn't go away and Bryce's tenacity seemed like it was getting under his skin. At a point he just kind of abandoned technique and started bullying his way through shit. That's not even talking about how he was nearly put out by Jai.

 

[blaseblase]

Max has gone 3 rounds with Conor and 5 with Poirier and Gaethje. It's not Max's chin you should be doubting.

That kick by Jai was clean AF and would’ve put most lightweights out, Emmett did not trouble him at all and was knocked down like 4 or 5 times. I don’t know what fights you watched or what kind of narrative you tryna draw but it’s straight retarded lol
