Media Oh boy. Max aint looking good.

[Blayt7hh]

i must be missing something

Yeah I mean is the page not loading right? All I see is a picture of him sitting there looking normal

Anyone posted about how he is claiming he is undefeated?

Is this the first time you've seen a Max Holloway Interview? He always says he's undefeated in the sense that in his mind, he goes into each fight 0-0, so if he wins, he's 1-0, it sounds kinda funny when it's explained, but I'd wager he does this to keep him grounded so he doesn't focus on the fact that he's won 12 fights in a row. It keeps him working hard if he has the mindset that he's 0-0 rather than 19-3 with a 12 fight winning streak.

Hope that helps, but yeah, he's been saying that for years, you must have missed it.

It's a Hawaiian thing

 

[antithetic]

Indeed!

Max more than 6 years ago

He sounds better to me, even though he's always looked like he's suffered mini strokes.

I hope it's in all our heads and he's indeed fine and ready to fight.

Punch drunk or not he’s still winning Saturday

 

[clivers]

Im worried this is gonna be the start of the :depressed era"

I thought that too. High chance he doesnt make the fight tbn.

This was Max at his last weigh in, he should be at 155...this is like 145 Conor

Holy shit, he looks hungrier than the entire NYC soup line

 

[RampageFaction]

His terrible diction and grammar make it seem worse than it really is. Obviously I'm not his doctor, but he's always sounded like this to some degree.

It’s called pidgin English. I lived in Hawaii for almost 30 years....that’s not his pidgin making him sound off.

Listen to TS’s video and this one back to back. IMO, Max sounds markedly worse in the latter. Hopefully it’s just from severe calorie deficiency and not CTE symptoms.

Most people who are born and raised in Hawaii are like that. BJ is kinda classy for a Hawaiian, no insult intended. It’s a different vibe over there. Outside of the touristy areas, it’s pretty country- islander style

 

[Benoitthegr8]

It's weird, because I was just remembering that old Chuck Liddel interview where he was slurring his speech badly on a tv morning show back in like 2007. He went on to lose the belt right after that interview & he lost like 5 out of 6 fights after that. The Holloway interviews reminded me a lot of that old Chuck interview.

IIRC he crawled out of a bottle just prior to that live tv interview

 

[DariusTheGreat]

Sounds normal to me

<Lmaoo>

Ahhh fair enough, I should listen to more interviews, but it really is hard to listen to fighters who sound drunk or concussed.

Thanks for that (Would like your response, but can't ).

You dont simple eat powershots from Jose aldo..

 

[El Fernas]

Not so sure. He slurs a bit like the Diz bros, but he sounded clearer and could speak faster 3 years ago.

Could be, but it sounds very similar to me, hope he is ok and stop it with the crazy weight cuts, there is a reason pro boxers with long careers move through 4-5 divisions, they simply cant make the weight comfortably any more, with UFC guys is weird once they start facing issues in their career some even try to go down.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Imo he gets tkoed.

Max Holloway seemed to do just fine, and he shared 6 Rounds, roughly 25 minutes with him. Jeremy Stephens on the other hand...

 

[Deleted member 551049]

did he really? if Max has that much CTE and HE WON, imagine how much CTE Aldo had? since you know, he's the one who took the beatings.

That's not how it works.

 

[usernamee]

dude is a warrior, but standing in the middle of the cage and going balls to the wall crazy, while entertaining, its not healthy for the brain. i dont think he is punch drunk, but i see future problems down the track. knock on wood it never comes to that though

What stoppad him from fighting last time out could easily be due to brain trauma and in that case it has already begun

Beautiful body shot.
