It's just another piece of the puzzle bro.

It could be. I'm treating this clip like I treat stairdowns. It means nothing...

He doesn’t look good at all. And looks to be carrying more body fat than we’ve ever seen.

If Lawler can pull the trigger he’s gonna smoke Diaz

More importantly, I see signs of a future suspect hairline. Showing slight thinning on top

 

[HHJ]

Think about the whole picture mang.

This doesnt add anything to what I already seen though. He looks old and sluggish. I knew that before the shadow boxing thing..but I dont put much stock into that anyway. The guy is a fighter,not a shadowboxing whiz.

I dont expect him to look like Petr Yan in front of the camera. (BTW i wondered if this was shopped somehow,but then I saw that this is indeed exactly how it looks in the fight)

 

[Frode Falch]

Calm down. Even in his prime, his fightingstyle was non stop slowmo zombie volumet boxing until the other guy would gas or break from the pressure.

I'm thinking big picture, lol.

hopefully thats just how they want it for the camera and not how he looks actually shadowboxing

That's not always true either now is it?

 

[Brodie]

He's air boxing for the UFC photographer and you want him to go full speed?

Not really just shit posting and seeing what conclusions people will draw from a 10 sec clip tbh

It mostly is true. I'm not one for Suredawg armchair weigh-in and staredown psychology. It's only telling if a guy has weight problems.

This is shadow boxing. Nick has looked like he just woke up since he got there. If anything, this is the least convincing thing in my eyes that he's going to perform like shit. Everyone looks off doing these.

Almost reminds me of this... you will never see a good striker look this horrible. If Nick just woke up and wasn't trying at all then I guess that could explain it lol who knows.

no this is the best boxing ive ever seen.

could never be beaten by a youtube star per se.

 

[hoevan]

Dumb...his speed and style hasn't changed. He's just older and fatter.

Nick couldn't give a single shit about any of this pre-fight stuff. He's just playing the game more now because it probably takes more energy to fight it than to probably just go with the flow. If you've followed Diaz for the last fifteen plus years, you'd know that he couldn't care less how he looks for a shadowboxing promo, lol.

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

I mean i think he looks sluggish just walkin around...but the diaz bros shine in fights,not shadowboxing footage.

Not saying it's 100% conclusive or anything, but you can definitely tell when someone is old and stiff shadowboxing. Lots of the same discussions when this came out.

 

[Deathbycalfkick]

Jesus, I don't hate Ronda but the delusion...sheer fucking delusion that produced this gif is both sad and hilarious. It looks like she's operating a fork lift after hitting a meth pipe.

 

[Shoden]

Doesn't mean shit.....Shawdowboxing infront of camaras is weird as fuck.....Almost no fighter shadowboxes at full speed when that happens.

 

[Ibm]

I cant believe he was fighting at WW. Hes easily 205-210 there.
