I was skeptical and expecting him to get caught with the first strike that landed on him flush. He tanked it very well and actually gives me hope that the new motivated Philippou can make a run. His power is certainly there and within seconds of the first round backed Larkin the fuck up and stunned him. Very happy for the guy.
A problem with Philippou however, is that he lurches his head forward and leans in too much to try and gain leverage for his punches. He can do that without leaving his face exposed. He will get ktfo if he doesn't correct that habit.
I really like Larkin but Philippou definitely made me a fan last night. It's crazy how he didn't even make it into the TUF house but is far more successful than any of the guys from that season.
Yes I did, able-bodied crustacean. However, it's hard to appreciate in the designated appreciation area without any, fucking, footage.
Yeah, then we'll have a another series of "who is the biggest dude in the welter weight division?" threads.
Phil also does looks thick and tight along with that deep black goatee, like a young freddy mercury. /yum
