Topuria has Only One Possible Way He Will Win.

[blaseblase]

Now Ilia's power is overrated lol.

I like Max and don't want to see him lose, but I feel this is a bad fight for him. Ilia is on another level.

Does Max have a worse chin than Emmett or Zalal? The guy has been in there with heavier hitters than Topuria and never been hurt. He just tanked 5 rounds of Justin Gaethje. Betting on him to get knocked out is not intelligent analysis. Topuria has never in his career knocked out anyone close to Max's level of durability. His only KO over an elite opponent is Volk coming off a recent KO loss. This fight screams 5 round decision.

Or Topuria can just wrestlefuck him

Like every single wrestler that faced Max.. Right? Point is, no one knows and making claims like this is irrelevant.

Ilia played it safe against Emmett. He won't have to do that against Max.

Max has eaten some serious bombs and kept coming, but I think this fight is going to be different. Ilia is a special fighter.

The way Ilia physically handled Bryce Mitchell should give you an idea.

Max is in for the roughest fight of his career.

lmao at playing it safe. Did you even watch that fight?

 

[Hog-train]

Today your boy gets destroyed dominated.

Thanks for the input angry manlet.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

I see Max taking big power and surviving against Justin and Dustin and I think the can take the power that is coming from Ilia.

That said, he put on muscle for this last LW fight and now he's dropping weight again. Anyone remember what happened to RJJ after the Ruiz fight?

Also, at some point his chin is going to crack. I can see Ilia getting a flash stoppage

Ilia is a smart fighter. He fought cautiously against Emmett. Facts.

First, I'm not saying he won't win. He has a good chance of winning.

But he has only one way of plausibly winning. Trapping Max against the fence and unloading to knock him out.

1. That is what Topuria does every single time.
2. Max almost never gets trapped against the fence and gets unloaded on. His boxing and movement are too good.
3. Max never gets taken down and submitted. So it will be a standup war.
4. Topuria has hardly ever fights a 5 round decision. Max has fought a large number of 5 round decisions.
5. Max never gets finished or even rocked standing. All his losses were decisions. But Topuria hardly ever does decisions and hardly a 5 round one.

So it's like a rock and a hard place. Only 2 possibilities IMO - Max gets knocked out early (which has never happened) or Topuria loses a stand up decision (which has never happened.)

5 round fights are a huge difference from 3 round fights. 5 round fights require strategically pacing yourself.

Due to Topuria's inexperience fighting a high paced stand up fight for 5 rounds, I think the result will be a Max Holloway decision.

I told you dont talk when u have no idea about fighting

Ok manlet. I clearly said Topuria can win by knockout against the fence. Which is exactly what happened.

Watch again

 

[jko1355]

So TS was spot on.

 

[HHJ]

If Max Wins...I hope there is no rematch. Let Topuria sulk on the sidelines for a while. I'm mentally tired of him.

I love the excellent reading comprehension of Shertards.
