Again, that the most effective and basic weapon is the leg kick. Donald was chasing ghosts early on, Myles using good movement, that was all but taken away in the 3rd.
Fighters abandon the leg kick way too early in fights. It is the weapon that can be landed at range, even further away than the jab with less risk.
You can take energy out of your opponents by going to the body and even slow movement down. But you can significanly slow movement down with less risk by employing assertive leg kicks - high and low, inside and out.
It is the single greatest, most basic strategy fighters should drill besides the jab.
There are dozens upon dozens of fights where a good moving fighter at the start of the fight, was reduced to a stationary target by round 3 on.
It gets boos, it's deemed as boring, but man is it effective.
