Shavkat War Wagon

[Neck&Neck]

He fights more than he talks
That’s what I like

 

[idlePulse]

again with this misconception that you need devastating power to get KTFO.

Mas and Usman possess more than enough accuracy and timing to knock this foo out Both have incredible
knockouts that were well timed. The way Shav leaves himself open hes probably going to learn the hard way that walking into punches or disregarding an opponent is the incredibly stupid

Its gon happen

Pretty much everyone in the top 10 could KO/TKO each other on a given night, just saying at least Shav already beat Geoff Neal -- one of the harder hitting

 

[Tapatio]

Call the Cops Colby would actually dial 911 before fighting this savage

 

[Coconutwater]

I mean, I think most people here have been on the Shavkat hype trane for awhile now. He looks good, and is showing improvement, but still seems to have a few things to work on. I'm still onboard. He's interesting to watch.

Yeah, I like the dude but to me, the biggest question mark isn’t his striking defense which could use improvement, but his grappling ability. He doesn’t need submission defense or submission offense, he needs offensive wrestling, the guy struggled and failed to take down a fighter who isn’t a grappler at their core, if Shavkat faces and lifelong wrestler who can punch hard, it could be the end of his undefeated streak.

 

[corrupted]

I’m in. Dude’s a straight savage

 

[StonedLemur]

His knees are so violently beautiful, he loves closing distance with them.

He doesn't really have a tell either which give em the element of surprise as well.

 

[Bearknuckle]

People are loving his striking and aggression right now. But, he choked out magny who is a very strong grappler.

i see ur still on about usman and masivdals striking lol. Usmans striking is not that good. And masvidal is pretty good but he was getting schooled by wonderboy in the standup.

Step up knees and straight knees are two of my favorite strikes. Lyoto Machida and Alexandr Shabliy threw them amazingly their entire careers. Always fascinating to me how they still aren't that popular. It's both a great offensive strike to close distance with and it's a great defensive strike to intercept forward moment or takedown attempts. I remember Andy Ristie was amazing with them in K-1 when no one else hardly threw them back forever ago too. Such a powerful strike.

youre an absolute novice if you dont think Usmans striking isnt top shelf (relatively speaking)
Put it to a poll if you think youre right here

Been on it a long time.

Yeah, I'm a novice. Geoff Neal has way cleaner striking than Usman and to think otherwise means you probably don't know what you're watching. The added difficulty of Neal being a southpaw is real as well. Obviously the pressure and rounded game of Usman makes him a whole different challenge but if you can stand in the pocket and beat down Neal, it's safe to say Usman wouldn't want to go toe to toe with Shavkat either. Also Neal is deceptively long, his reach is 75 to Usmans 76 but he's a much straighter puncher and a better combination puncher than Usman on the inside to boot.

This was Shavkats first tough test in 17 fights, he still has more tests to pass, namely the cardio and defensively wrestling one. He hasn't been training stateside but for a year or two now, he's still improving and just now starting to have major professional dedicated training camps. He will be better than he is now when he fights Usman (if Usman even wins vs Leon), while Usman is declining.

Machidas were beautiful.
The way you feel about those knees I feel about step in elbows.
So effective, and slices right through guard like butter...very few people use them smh.

I guess me and you are gonna have to wait for people to wake the fuck up sir.
At least we have Shavkat throwing beautiful knees.

I have to watch Lookboonme for step in elbows lmao.

Let me see if I can find a gif, my boy Bekzat won but in the 3rd ate the nastiest step in elbow that split his brow and hurt him in the third.

Usman’s striking is not top shelf.

usmans striking is fundamental at best. In his 15 fight win streak, he was deathly afraid of striking and won by takedowns and gnp. Only recently did he KO masvidal and now he’s a top shelf striker? Lol. He was getting lit up by burns too.

lol ive never heard anyone say usmans striking is top shelf. Everyone says its getting better and his striking is improving. But usmans got a jab and a cross combo. Theres a reason they called him boring and snoozeman before, his game was overpowering people, crotch sniffing and just outworking them.

you do realize that improvement is a fumction of about the time Trevor Hoffman came on board right?!? You do realize the dude is champ right?!? amd has beem reigning prior to Leon for three years ?? Say what you wamt about the guy but you look pretty lame trying to demeam his skills

You people

Put it to a poll Youd be surprised

 

[Poirierfan]

Next fight is a number 1 contenders bout vs Belal, Colby or Burns. It's nice that Shavkat is a prospect who I think can deliver, those are all tough fights but ones I'd expect him to win. Even Leon or Usman, he can get it done. Not an easy road ahead of him but I know how badly he wants to bring the belt back to Kazakhstan and how much it means to his country. I want to see it!

Yep, Shavkat can beat all of them more times than not.

It's such a beautiful technique, and crazy effective when you get the distance right.
That was a perfect shot.

You people

Why do you need a poll? Defend your own points. You're coming at multiple people who's opinion I respect with little nerd energy and can't even defend your shit. You even back tracked on me and started talking shit again. Tell me what's so nuanced about Usman's striking? Robotic 1-2's? Getting pieced up by Colby? Dipping into head kicks after one of Leon's go to combos? So much for watching tape and IQ.

The boxing coach you're referencing is called Trevor Wittman.

 

[Prick_Flair]

Love me some Shavkat. Fun to watch , violent as and standing choke wins are badass. And his answer to the Sanko question gave me a good chuckle too heh heh.

Dudes got a 100 finishing rate and comes to fight. I'm on board for sure

To be fair Usman was dead tired when he got clipped with that head kick.
