Jack Slack weighs in on Bisping vs Silva

the combination of him going for that knee and prematurely celebrating like he won the super bowl shows a little lack of character.
 
Bisping was always a bad matchup for Anderson. Silva relies purely on frustrating his opponents into over extending and getting a highlight reel KO, Bisping has never done this. Silva just looked like a weirdo hand dancing as he himself was getting frustrated with Bisping not handing him a KO on a plate.
 
To be honest its really unnerving to have someone with andersons in and out movement moving his hands like that,but to his credit,bisping never let it bother him. He just stuck to his gameplan.
 
i disagred with that too but that doesnt mean it wasnt a good article
yeah, because saying it was a KO when it clearly was not is like no big deal when being payed to make a post fight analyses. Not like it is his job to have some expertise.
 
Jack is too populist, it's like country music now. He likes his guys and it shows.
 
Attributes Silva's decline more to his opponents than age. Writes "decline" as if it is fiction. I expected better from Slack.

It's obvious that Silva's reaction time was a fraction of what it was. Stating because Bisbing feinted and cut angles, he would have been a problem for Silva 4+ years ago as a fact is just minblowingly stupid. This must be a case of pro UK bias.

TKO to be more accurate. It's obvious from his description that's what he meant. Bisping wasn't in condition to continue and needed 20 seconds before even able to get to his stool. Then got a huge break and a lot of extra time to recover when Anderson celebrated.

Jack Slack is a good writer but a lot of fangirls who read his columns invariably think he's either god's gift to MMA or think he's a nobody who's borderline retarded. All they care about is who he thinks won the fight. If they agree with him he's the former. If they don't, he's the latter.

The argument that feinting against a counter striker dulls his reactions is stupid? Righto...

Now you are being dishonest. That is not what I said; you created a strawman. In fact arguing that feignting against a counter striker dulls his reaction is legitimate argument. But then taking that argument and extending it by saying that Bisbing is still a problem for Silva 4+ years ago as a certainty is really tenuous at best. A much slower past prime Silva did substantial damage often when he decided to lead in this fight so it's not like Silva was just a counterstriker anyways.

If you are going to defend yourself, defend yourself against the criticism that is thrown at you.
