Media Topuria clowns Max Holloway's boxing skills

[Copper Burner]

Jon’s boxing isn’t top tier, I agree with that. He is the smartest fighter to ever live and utilizes all of his talents to win. That’s a dumb comparison bud.

Your post smells of insecurity bud.

 

[checktheknuckles]

So whats the narrative after Topuria clowns and KOs Max?

 

[JBJisGOAT14]

Your post smells of insecurity bud.

I’m confused what you are even arguing? Max isn’t in the conversation of GOAT…meanwhile Jones is ALWAYS in top 3 GOAT convos. Sure Jones doesn’t have the best boxing but he is the one of the best fighters to ever live, max is not. Go away peasant.

Max Holloway’s defence makes Nate Diaz look like Pernell Whitaker.

He's not wrong. Max is just a volume thrower, he never sets up actual combos like Topuria does.

In his worst performance against Volk, Max still landed more than Topuria did in round one.


Y'all need to re-examine that fight. It's highly unlikely Topuria knocks Max out so what matters is if he can outstrike Max for 5 rounds. I just don't see evidence of that.

If Max’s Boxing was really that good he wouldn’t of lost to Volk x3

Or Volk was just the perfect agent against it!
Short, quick and strong with endless endurance to go with it.
Both Max and Volk are rare specimens!
Both UFC greats but also extremely annoying for any other fighter!

Also Emmett is a walking heavy bag pretty much. Max probably would have finished him. Surprising Topuria couldn't considering he's supposed to be this big KO guy.

Topuria isn't all that, either. Sits on his lead leg like he doesn't even have a rear leg. A fresh volk would have kicked that to shit. Even the plodder Emmett was landing leg kicks without anything in return from topuria.

Volk is just really really good despite his skid.

Volk is just a more complete striker.

Bro edited out the ko

 

[Spiderbite]

He either smokes Max, or Max's chin hold's up one last time and it's a war.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

It's max's chin and ability to absorb punishment that is his best attribute.

He's a glorified brawler.

That said, Max is going to break and punish Iilia to a late round TKO.

 

[Elegant]

Max arguably lost to and was out struck by Yair, Idk why people think he's some elite boxer

The guy that's been hit the most out of anyone in the UFC can't also be the best boxer in the UFC

Max would beat the piss out of Nate.

 

[2432sj]

With O’Malley out of the way, Topuria moves to #1 on my list of guys I want to see lose.

Very bad feeling for Max

Topuria: The best boxer in the UFC

Ilia clowned himself yet again. Everyone knows that when Max points to the ground technique goes out the window and it's time to just straight up fucking brawl.. Max's boxing was on point all night that night.

 

[fortheo]

The amount of people downplaying max in here is ridiculous, and I'm not even a max fan. All you people calling him a brawler that gets by because of his chin are crazy.

 

[ether]

well good luck to him. if he wins against max, he'll be congratulated.

'Glorified brawler'?

You clearly aren't paying attention to Max's fights.

You can argue just about anything. He beat Yair, despite Rodriguez doing well in the fight.



Anyway, if Ilia beats Max, he's beyond certified at that point. Topuria, ostensibly speaking, isn't all this smart as he spends a lot of time degrading his opposition rather than prop it up to elevate himself. Amateur hour.
