Rothwell's game plan?

[egk]

I'd sure like to know what Big Ben's game plan was for this fight. It's like he'd never seen anyone who could move before. He's way too slow to fight a style like that. I expected him to push JDS against the fence and dirty box but he didnt really even try and he was totally incapable fo cutting off the cage.
JDS looked much better than against Overeem where he looked like he was terrified to engage at all.

Rothwell looked broken from the beginning

Ben Rothwell gameplan was mimic a training bag.

 

[HelloJapan]

To be a big slow punching bag apparently. Disappointing to be honest. Was hoping for more of a fight.

 

[Nimrod]

His game plan was to wave his fingers about and grunt a few times while trying to look real scary..

The Harry Potter style entrance music fucked with his head

 

[CJohnny]

He is a HW, can't blame him. Besides Reem, Cain and Werdum this division is terrible in terms of skill and everything else.

 

[Sparkie]

he had no answer for Junior's boxing and footwork

 

[Karelinator]

To be honest he haven't fought really differently against Barnett, difference being that Josh isn't really great striker and is much slower than JDS....

Rothwell's dangerous guy, but certainly doesn't have much ways to actually enforce his terms.

Immobile, plodding, no real wrestling shot, or entries in general, and so on.

Yeah I was wondering this too... he looked like he had no real plan other than land a big punch. Figured if Reem could do it, he could too?

 

[AtomicPanther]

I guess his gameplan was to be hit and not hit

 

[Defeat Unknown]

Think he was just overwhelmed by the speed.

Apparently rothwells style is gonna be the future of mma

Lol

Rothwell was obviously looking to back Jnr up against the cage and unload when he could but didn't push the pace enough maybe afraid of gassing? as it turns out JDS worked his body over and tired him out anyway.

i dont know, but that was disappointing...I like rothwell. I can understand two rounds of having whatever game plan he had being stuffed, but without making any real changes was pathetic.
