Tyron Woodley: "Johny Hendricks' PR mistake led to UFC 192 matchup"

[Ace of Spades]

Haha true, true.

You rooting for one or the other?

I want Woodley to take it just for the good of the division.

The loser of Lawler-Hendricks III is fucked.

 

[Ace of Spades]

I still have no idea how Hendricks does it with those T-Rex arms.

I thought the same until someone on here brought it to my attention.

69 inches = 5"9. Not really T-Rex when it's on par with your height.

 

[ArtemV]

I never usually say this, but go Hendricks. It's hard to be a fan of him.

Word.

Plus I feel slack saying it, but I can't take to Hendricks.

Reach is on average height plus two inches.

So yeah his reach is short. Not incredibly short or anything, but it's certainly below average.

 

[DyslexicDave]

I used to like Woodley, but he's been really obnoxious lately.

 

[Buff]

"PR mistake" and "Jonny Hendricks" are so often found in the same sentence...

 

[FierceRedBelt]

I think Woodley's explosiveness might surprise Hendricks a bit and I'm not sure Hendricks can handle that. We'll see.

 

[Ace of Spades]

He's cool I definitely prefer Robbie.

What is it about him ? His personality ?

 

[Spycho]

This fight has all the potential to be boring as hell. And please someone let Woodley know that a Harden beard doesn't go with a Prince moustache.

 

[Ace of Spades]

Plus 2 inches ? Since when ?

 

[Fyreborn]

Plus 2 inches ? Since when ?

Since always. It's common knowledge in boxing.

 

[dc007]

I don't get it but Hendricks will win by boring lnp decision.

 

[Organic Damage]

I'm glad these guys are fighting.

I get to see one lose, the other win in likely boring fashion, and hopefully neither get anywhere near the belt for a while.

nope. reach on average is the same as your height. +2 is +2.

 

[runnpray]

since Fryeborn just made it up. :icon_chee

 

[Ace of Spades]

Since always. It's common knowledge in boxing.

We were talking about the human anatomy.

Ever heard of the Vitruvian Man ?

 

[Ace of Spades]

since Fryeborn just made it up. :icon_chee

Right ?

He had me going for a while there........:icon_lol:

 

[Fyreborn]

Dude. I'm right, trust me.

It IS a known thing in boxing. If you want stats here's some, though they are for wingspan and of very tall basketball players:

http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-pre-draft-measurements/?page=averages

All players I see there have wingspans greater than height. Now I'm not sure how wingspan compares to reach, but the wingspan/height difference is simply too much for reach to equal height.

But more relevant, I actually years back took Boxrec's top p4p list and calculated the average height to reach gap. I wanted to confirm or disprove the boxing adage. Reach was very close to 2" more than height, so the adage was confirmed.

I don't know why the hell someone would claim I made that up. To call someone incorrect is one thing, to say they made sonething up is just being an ass.
