Very impressed by Andreas Gustafsson

[Ivancho]

Andreas Gustafsson was no retard in his fight against Khaos Williams..in fact, it was a very smart performance. He closed the distance quickly, where Williams couldn’t unleash his knockout punch, took him into the clinch, and dismantled him with dirty boxing. It was a grinding fight that completely exhausted Williams and neutralized his biggest weapon.

It actually reminded me..though it’s a different discipline of a famous Chilean heavyweight boxer named Arturo Godoy. He had an ugly style, but it was super effective. He used a similar tactic against Joe Louis in their first fight and took him to the distance.

I’m all in for the retard viking. May he lead us to retard Valhalla

 

[Unheralded Truth]

I guess he means that he's not very technical and fancy, more so just wanting to bulldoze his opponents.

It surprised me how easily he was landing hard shots, also from range. Really won every aspect of the fight.

I like his style. He doesn’t play it safe, dude is working.

 

[STAY GOLD]

Agreed. It's not overly fanfriendly (as most fans want wild reckless brawls), but I dug it. We need more fighters tuning out the nonsensical boos and fighting smartly.

The fans booed him because they wanted stand up fights and there were other fights that were primarily stand up fights and they booed those as well. That's why more fighters need to tune that out and focus on the gameplan.

 

[Motivated BJ Penn]

Good performance but man Khaos Williams cannot fight going backwards for shit.

 

[Safton]

I'm intrigued. This is what I really love to see from a grinder and a guy who excels in the clinch. He is actively seeking to melt his opponent and make them quit through relentless pressure. He was cooking Khaos and looking to deal damage from various positions.

His style reminds be of Marc-Andre Barriault back before Barriault's chin cracked. His striking in the open isn't as polished as Marc's, but I think his wrestling is a little more threatening. I say give him someone like Soriano or Salikhov next. Maybe Dalby if he's awake yet.

Andreas fights like that in every fight. That's his style.
