Shogun's insanely under-rated performance against Gus in gifs!

[HOLA]

It was more a case of Shogun being off balance. Hendo didnt score a legit knockdown.

Right. Shogun slipped on a skateboard against OSP and slipped on a banana against Dan.

Shogun proved to be A FAR SUPERIOR fighter and skill technician to Hendo. Hendo simply caught Shogun. Proir to that, Shogun was out classing Hendo on the feet like no one ever had before

That's why he ended up on the mat, in pain, with his nose rearranged.

Shogun drops Dan... FAR SUPERIOR FIGHTER FAR SUPERIOR SKILL

Dan drops Shogun....and finishes the fucking fight....AND WINSSSS....Simply caught Shogun. Shogun is better!

Lmao.

What's the point of Shoguneven fighting? The only possible outcome is Shogun is oh so dreamy.

 

[HOLA]

Exactly.

Shaquille O'Neal was considered done when he got traded to the Suns for Shawn Marion, but the Suns have one of, if not the, best sports medicine teams in all of sports and had Shaq playing some of his best ball in years.

Did Shogun go to a witch doctor in an alley in Brazil?

Maybe he should have used the guy Cruz used before his last fight.

I'm mobile owned but this is a great opportunity to post Wahlberg's "maybe he did..." Gif from Departed

Gus has a MONSTER chin

But the Jones spinning elbow is NOT indictive of anything IMO

It hit Gus on the back of his head/ear/at the crown of his head...it landed very akwardly...it messed with his balance. I doubt Gus was ever truly rocked by it

It hit him right in his forehead........

 

[Castro Alves]

Calikid, you need to see a psychiatrist. At the very least. Don't your parents worry about you?

 

[Doug22]

Bad thread. Gus won every round of that fight and nobody thinks Gus is the best LHW.

 

[HAWTRIDDUM]

TS left out shoguns hard as fuck knee to Gus head in the 1st rd

 

[Stixx]

That iron chin of Gustafsson is insane!

 

[Wayweary]

He also got rocked and dropped in the first. They both scored 2 knockdowns each in the fight. Henderson's final one was the greatest of the 4.

Yeah, I remember Hendo catching him fairly early, seemed to look to finish, but it wasn't there and he spent a lot of energy so Shogun was taking over, looking dominant, almost took Hendo out himself. There was definitely a back and forth going on at various points but Shogun was still looking like the better fighter for most of the fight with Hendo obviously having more pure power which ended up paying off with a win in what was becoming a desperate situation.

 

[Wayweary]

It hit him right in his forehead........

Yup, it hit him right in the forehead and compressed the fuck out of his spine, sending shockwaves down his neck. It was a vicious blow and Gus said he was hurt by it. He wasn't the same fighter after that landed.

lmao

Boxingislife aiming for dat new worst poster/sock belt.

First the Conor > Jones thread and now this. Embarassing man. Dude earns an 8-10 round and somehow people are "insanely underrating" him?

I think this guy has brain damage.

 

[FlexBelt]

And yet Gustafsson was OUT CLASSING Jones in the stand up

Landing on Jones at will

Gustfasson BATTERED Jones face until Jones wasnt even recognizable anymore. That's just wow. Gus owned the soul of Jones

Meanwhile, we saw Shogun hitting beautiful counters on Gus

Shogun has wayy better technical striking/boxing than Jones has

Jones just has size, reach, and youth

Plus you CANT even compare the PREPARED Shogun who Gus fought and beat

TO the injuried, coming off surgery Shogun who lost to Jones on short notice

Shogun wasnt even at 40% against Jones. Jones beat the SAME injuried, unprepared Shogun who Forrest beat lol

Your excuses are hilarious. Shogun has better technical boxing than Jones, but who's the one that tapped to strikes? Lol this is just a Jones hate thread. Guys fight with injuries all the time. Jon could've had an injury going into that fight for all we know. You have no idea if Shogun was 40%, 60%, or 90% heading into that fight.

He's 6-8 in the UFC & has been (T)KO'ed multiple times. You think a few gifs of him punching Gus prove he's still elite?

Get the fuck out.

Any version of Shogun gets wrecked by Jones. Shogun had literally nothing for him. Jones is the LHW goat EASY at this point and is far more accomplished than Shogun, while being a better fighter than Shogun ever was.

And lol still salty about Forrest making Shogun tap? that was like 8 years ago man, time to let go.

Got nothing against Shogun, top 5 LHW all time, exciting humble guy but his fans are pathetic.

 

[YES Cartwheel]

Shogun fans are educated fans of the sport who actually know what they are talking about

What a pretentious blanket statement.

I have been watching MMA since mid-90's and I've met many stupid Shogun fans that think the fight game began and ended with him. Shogun is clearly your boy. We get that. But instead of heralding him for the great moments in his career, you desperately point out why we should all worship him in defeat. And you bolster Gus only because he beat your boy, trying to discredit Jones.

We all have our faves, but not all of us are diluted, fanatical and stuck in the past as some of these bleeding-heart Shogun fans such as yourself. Maybe if some of you stopped attempting to folate yourselves while watching old Pride videos over and over again, we could actually get some fans in here that follow the current fight game and discuss some of the current up and comers and legitimate contenders like Gus, the guys that are gonna be around making waves for the next 5-8 years or more.

 

[Jon Stark]

Neither Sonnen or OSP are "sub par"

Sonnen was 29-14 against very good competition.

Shogun is 22-10. Do you see him him going 7-4 if he makes it 11 more fights?

And don't compare Shogun to Ali. Jeezus.

You're not comparing apples and apples when discussing Sonnen and Shogun's career opponents.

 

[Castro Alves]

Calikid is a clear schizophrenic, or soon will be. He needs understanding and professional help, not berating.

 

[76Knockout]

They've actually used that as an excuse to claim the loss doesn't count.

Shogun wasn't ready yet! Jones hit him with the knee and for the rest of the fight he couldn't get his head back!

Everything after the knee wasn't the RREEAALL Shogun.

I remember this excuse well lol.

 

[best eva]

Clearest 30-27 I've ever seen in the lhw division

Shit topic from a shit poster.

Theres TWO more gifs. For some reason its not showing, but I posted the link besides them

Here they are
http://minus.com/lbjtRAqyxWcViu

http://minus.com/lSkg9WVvt6xf7


Also, those gifs arent EVEN remotely indictive of all of Shogun's offense. Just check stats. Shogun landed a lot more

BUT the gifs there SHOW Shogun LANDED CLEAN hard beatiful counters, and others show Shogun closing distance beautifully with his cheat punch and landing

Gus is a MONSTER. He destroyed Jones in manyes eyes. Shogun vs Gus PROVED that IF Shogun IS PREPARED and hungry he CAN STILL compete with the very best

Im a total Gus hater, and he is wildly overrated.





































Because he beat the brakes off Shogun.
