The Perfect Storm

[Luffy]

Some people say that Jiri underperformed vs Poatan due to him being more gun-shy than usual.

But when we think about it, back in their first fight, when Jiri pulled the trigger the most, it was right then that Poatan dropped him on his knees. And in the first round of their 2nd fight, the most significant strikes from Alex came when Jiri pressed...

However, the second point imo is still not proof that Jiri did not underperform, because the moments he pressured may have been less rational or focused due to, perhaps, his mentality being shaken from the magic, spell stuff he believed in.

So, did Jiri underperform and thus, we still have not seen the perfect storm? Or nah, he did not underperform and Poatan was just way better still than in their first fight?

Poatan is pretty effing good let's be fair

He's a striker fighting against Pereira. Everyone who chooses to stand with Pereira is going to look bad, with Izzy the sole exception.
It would be like choosing to grapple with Jacare or Werdum

When you win twice, you are just better.

When you win twice, you are just better.

It increases the probability that you are. But we all know from other sports that when opponents (be that teams or an individual) face each other more frequently, the better athlete/team can easily lose twice in a row.
