Thank you, great post.Clearly he doesn't have "the chin to eat Wonderboy's counters" as we've just seen. Maybe one day you'll realize that "your chin" or the shots you've been able to take in the past are irrelevant when you face a surgical striker who can hit you in the right places without even putting a lot into them. You suggest he has a good chin so he should just rush him, did you not see the numerous times he tried that and got tagged coming in? It's not easy to fight someone who can strike so well going backwards, doing damage and maintaining distance at the same time. This is not a matter of age, Johny has never fought a striker as good as Wonderboy.
People want to make excuses like his chin or he got old.
No thompson doesnt throw his weight into a punch like hendricks does. He snipes and if you know striking, precision and timing are king.
In the words of conor. Precision beats power. Timing beats speed.
Hendricks was outclassed in striking. The guy needs evolve instead of just trying to get stronger.
