Shavkat is kinda getting exposed here

[LindyBrah]

I think it’s less him being exposed and more Geoff Neal being better than a lot of people thought.

This begs the question, just how good is Wonderboy Thompson?

 

[egk]

I somehow thought he was champion material but his lack of head movement will get exposed by the elite. He needs to fix that or one of these days it's gonna be good night for him.

Khamzat is the same way. Both can wrestle and both can throw hands but neither one of them moves their head and both are easy to hit.
Chin often separates the good fighters from the great ones but when it inevitably goes, fighters are usually done. Chuck Liddel was a classic example.

Who is a striker at the top like Neal?

Maybe Edwards

His lack of head movement was very noticeable

 

[joeson]

didn't know Geoff missing weight makes Shavkat have no headmovement

It obviously does.

 

[barillas]

Imagine this guy vs Khamzat, that will be legendary duel

 

[Rektkid]

Great fight...

What heart shown by both fighters.

Awful refereeing by Dean. Didn't have the slightest clue about Shavkat dropping his mouth guard until Joe pointed it out to him. They put so much effort in and when they clinched you could hear him saying "work" and itching to break it up.

Get this fraud out of there.

 

[what-wut]

He is exciting but that horrible defense will cost him vs the top of the div

Neal probably has better boxing and power than most of the elite at 170.

 

[Danas_right]

thats not GSP

 

[theaustrianoak]

all action fighters are gonna get tagged, it comes with the territory. ate them without much trouble

eventually it will catch up with him

Please tell us about all these amazing strikers who will do what Neal couldn't lmao.

What a retarddd thread looool

dude just killed a killer.

 

[Raptors2019]

If that's his style then he's gonna get knocked out against one of the top guys

Do you think he's gonna stand there for someone to knock him out ? No

Most recent evidence (fight that just happened) suggests he can KO.

His lack of head movement was very noticeable

Dudes got a granite chin.

Shavkat proves you are allowed flaws to still be elite, Shavkat gets hit a little too much, but that dude is absolutely lethal.

Everything he throws seems to hurt, and his submissions end fights/consciousness.

I'm not going to criticise Shavkat tonight, the fact he gets tagged a little too often only makes his fights more exciting.

You just know, EVEN HURT, he can finish his opponent.

He's legit, at least for as long as his chin holds up. When it starts getting cracked, we'll see what happens.

MMA fans are some of the dumbest around

 

[moosaev]

Great win by Shavkat. I think Neal missed weight on purpose so he could come in big, still got stopped!

 

[Wonderfight]

Great fighter but that was horrendous defense to be honest. He is lucky that Neal looks like he is missing his motivation for a few fights already, he needs to be yelled at to do anything and that is something I am seeing for a few fights already, no urgency and gives in insto stalemate very easily. Neal is truly underachievening even if he is in top of the division.

Shakvat is expectedly great, but needs to work on that defense for real. Other than that, he and Khamzat are exciting future for WW.

[Sad Dad]

that will to finish is nuts. Neal is a very solid boxer too Shav just fucking goes for it and I love to see it.
