Media Ilia looking razor sharp

[laleggenda27]

So Max is in trouble because Ilia threw a bunch of 6-inch punches in training? Sounds legit.

That video looks sped up

Max just KO’d Gaethje who is at a higher weight class and has an incredibly battle tested chin…. So yes I would say he has power. As for Max’s chin it has quite literally never been cracked by anyone so tell me more about Max going “bye bye”. If illia wins it will be by mixing in his grappling ability imo. I don’t see the midget sleeping Max standing. Max has this by pitching a striking clinic over 5 rounds imo.

Saving this comment see ya in October

Everybody has a gameplan till they punched in the mouth.

But in all seriousness, Topuria is a fucking monster (for a manlet) and Max will need the entire pantheon of Hawaiian chin gods to keep him conscious! Hoping he pulls it out!

Look at that exchange. Gaethje wasn’t even looking with his head down and eyes close. It was like shooting a fish in a bucket, and people think it’s the greatest KO ever.

I hope Max knocks this manlet out so badly that even the tattooed version of himself on his chest gets KTFO.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Max is the better MMA boxer he’s about to piece this dude the fuck up.

It’s easy to look good on the mitts. Especially since that shows literal zero footwork or extension on his shots which he would need to touch max. Not saying Top isn’t skilled because he absolutely is…. but Max is the better MMA boxer and illia will need to mix in a grappling heavy gameplan to win.

Illia knocked the fuck out the guy that outboxed Max like 3 times.

You're not wrong. My first comment after it happened was about having his eyes closed. The KO was what it was because of how Justin fell, the time at which it occurred and the theatrics that precluded it. I don't think I've read anybody on here going on about its beauty as a piece of technical pugilism...

 

[AmalgamOpus]

Max prolly a deadman and it hurts.

 

[Rataria]

He's eating the pads. He"s eating Max!

 

[BJJ4Tone]

Looking thick, thin, vascular cut up, solid, jacked, dense, hard,muscly, fit, lean,juicy, sharp, toned, shredded. Keep up the good work

 

[BJJ4Tone]

Agreed

I am personally not a fan of Max, but that picture is fucking insane.

Verging on Ali/Liston!

Pretty interesting fight to me. Picking Ilia by decision from Max's stupid chin.

Won't be surprised if Max finds a way to win. His chin and cardio and top notch and he has some good hands.

 

[SamuraiBro]

Max cutting back down to 145 after bulking up in the later part of his career is concerning. Ilia might be the one to put him out.

 

[Substance Abuse]

Coin flip fight. Highlighting pad work is fucking stupid, however.

 

[Goutfather]

max has a chance to win, but dude just needs to retire. he has way too many joe biden moments. that’s not something to fuck around with.

Why? I like watching nice pad work.

Doesn't mean shit about the actual fight.

Although I think Ilia will win in an impressive manner.

He's only 32 but yea, he's looks older.

 

[Alpha_T83]

anyone who thinks max is a better boxer than illia doesn't know what he's watching

I think prime Holloway beats prime Topuria. But I agree Topuria has the advantage now. Max is older and slower, no question.

Justin was leaning into his wild swings. Topuria would keep his distance.
