RBR ***Official*** Sherdog Sanctioned Navarette vs. Berinchyk Discussion 5/18 9PM ET ESPN / ESPN+

[Mujeriego]

Berinchyk is hitting shoulders and people think hes landing.

 

[brundlefly]

So is this like the UFC of boxing or the bellator?

the #1 contender in the lightweight div vs a champion from the lower weight class. Not big names, but an A level championship fight.

 

[Seano]

Disappointing performance by Navarette.

 

[Mujeriego]

76-76

 

[KDR by RNC]

Both these guys seem super overrated

 

[Old Cat]

This is a butt ugly fight boys

This is an awkward cat and mouse game. Most fighters can't handle the power, reach and odd timing of Navarette. DB is handling this expertly and exposing the gaps in the bad footwork and angles. Navarette can't hit him cleanly or time him either. Something tells me that DB is used to training with guys who move laterally. Maybe like, Loma? Lol

Just a mishmash of two really odd styles and timing that create this ugly ballet of awkwardness.

 

[Old Cat]

The whole lotta swinging and missing going on.

 

[brundlefly]

another round for berinchyk. at this point, navarette needs to do something drastic to turn things around.

 

[Old Cat]

88-83 Berinchyk. Making his man miss badly and filling in the gaps with small stuff.

 

[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

Nav definitely has the heavier hands. Berinchyk just chipping away. The former needs to press and go to the body more and then look for that big uppercut.

 

[Seano]

Navarette doesn't belong at this weight.

Well.... Navarette is fighting a couple of weight classes above ideal... he's attempting to win a title in a 4th weight division. You can see he's tubby at the weight, and he doesn't have the crushing power (relatively) that he had in those lower weight classes. That said, that power hides a multitude of sins that he was able to get away with at lower weight. he telegraphs so much of what he does that a guy with good footwork and handspeed is a problem.

Berinchyk is feather fisted, but is so fucking awkward he's hard to hit cleanly if you are Navarette. Dude is like jazz. ..and not the smooth type.


I would put this at UFC level, but it's two fighters that absolutely do not mesh up to make a pleasing fight.

 

[Seano]

Berinchyk is kind of dirty in there.

 

[Old Cat]

“May be down “ ???

 

[KDR by RNC]

Nav seems desperate

Great breakdown.

Was about to say! Few back of the head shots, holding clinch then firing on seperation by ref.

He should be.
