Shavkat is kinda getting exposed here

[soulsstealer]

he does have head movement and uses it often. just cause geoff hits him doesnt mean he dont move.

 

[Dr. Stoppage]

Shavkat what an offensive machine kicks, punches to the head, to the body. Then having the BJJ to sub a guy standing up along the fence.

Very impressive when you consider the lapses of the other so called "elite"

 

[Steve Fox]

Bro I literally said I thought he was champion material. This fight just exposed some weaknesses of his

Neal was always a good striker. I think that Shavkat maybe needs to work on his gas tank, dude seemed like he was slowing down a bit and this was a 3 round fight. We need to see more of him, I think that his Colby call out is pretty solid to actually gauge him once and for all but right now? He is definitely a killer and highly skilled, impressive stuff.

 

[OldBoy91]

I wouldn't say exposed at all but Neal proved that Shavkat is human tonight.

Mind you, a very skilled, incredibly tough human that doesn't get discouraged and doesn't stop coming for you no matter what you throw at him. He looked like the terminator tonight.

Still, someone is going to crack him eventually if he doesn't start moving his head. That's twice now in his career leading with his face has almost cost him.

 

[Tornikidou]

He's like a better version of Jiri. Both great fighters who gonna visit the shadow realm at some point.

 

[Furious77]

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

Who at the top of the division has better hands than Neal? I don't think any of em can hang on the feet with him.

 

[OldFashion]

who cares. He’s always going for the kill.

you want him to lay back and fight safer?

If he wants to become champion he might need to

 

[Izzysexboyfriend]

Who is the elite

 

[Luckyme]

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.

His fight IQ wasn't great tonight. He let himself get drawn into a slugfest with Geoff and almost got knocked out. Should have committed to the wrestling sooner.

 

[HoeBrogan]

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.

Herb was clapping for action when shavkat had neals back standing not long before the finish, feels like herbalist is just getting worse and worse every passing year

 

[GolovKing]

He actually would show good head movement but not good discipline. He kept having mental lapses where he would let his guard down

 

[Steve Fox]

Who at the top of the division has better hands than Neal? I don't think any of em can hang on the feet with him.

Exactly. That is also my point in a sense, Neal is a great striker without any doubt. People can say whatever they want about Neal but on the striking department he is definitely great.

 

[Koro_11]

That was Burns vs Khamzat redux folks.

And they were both awesome fucking fights.

Not at all, Burns vs Khamzat was like 55-45, a pretty close decision.

Shavkhat blew Neal out, Neal had a few moments but it was like 90-10 with a finish, what were people watching? Sure he ate a few shots, but he gave about 10 for evey one he received.

You don't need to be a savant striker to hit a head that's rushing at you chin high.

He tried to wrestle. His take downs just aren't as good as we thought either

 

[Todd498]

Dude is top shelf offensively and has really good whiskers. He’ll be a problem for ANYONE

 

[John12]

He would get tagged by several of them, Wonderboy, Burns, Chimaev, Usman, Leon would exploit his lack of head movement but I actually like that he is an action first fighter

 

[forRealHuh]

Yeah, remember when Khabib got exposed by Johnson and he then fought heavy hitters like Conor, Dustin, Justin and got ko’d each time.

 

[Ozze]

Not really exposed but he does relies on his chin too much.
