Since his last fight I have much more respect for Nelson because he is clever guy.
On another hand Pokrajac disappointed me (I'm still his fan) because he could not understand very simple thing - to solve very basic game plan of his opponent.
Nelson shape/look is as we all know very bad. However his conditioning is good, his techniques is solid and the bottom line he has one punch KO power in his right hand.
But what he show us in Mitrione fight is game plan - he simply "hooked" his opponent with his right overhand for 4 minutes and than he landed that uppercut when now-one expected even his opponent. We all got use to the moment that Nelson is knocking the opponents with huge right overhand ...and boom this time he did it with something else.
To be quite honest it's not like Nelson invented "hot water" here but it shows that he is clever for a fighter. Now let's see what Pokrajac didn't understand in his last fight with Joe Beltran.
If you re-watch the fight you will see how Beltran is dominating Pokrajac in clinch on the cage. In the second round Pokrajac started in the middle of the cage and then Beltran is starting to move back and FGS watch how how Pokrajac go stupidly for him attacking and ending up in clinch once again.
So Pokrajac is missing Nelson wisdom.
