Ahh day 1 Fundamentals, they always work. Sometimes people are too eager to abandon all the basics and go full unconventional and then end up paying the price, master the basics.

Mike Tyson always stayed cocked slightly down and to the left...his jab was more like a straight left because his stance was basically squared up at all times.
Bas fought the same way, squared up...Bas didn't believe in the jab.

He was doing left hooks you mean...this is a short snappy one...Nganou already had power but Atlas teaching him the basics on how to beat his opponent to the punch is key...short straights and crosses will always beat a haymaker...Francis didn't even need to wind his arms to get full power...
example of a short hook vs. Woodley's haymaker...
again short punch vs. wide punch...

Don't know if you can fully put a 2h session with Teddy over 3 years with XtremCouture though.
But I agree his boxing was sharper, to the body this 2-1 straight : before the finish he never did that

If he keeps training on both camps...he will keep improving..he has shown a lot with his last fight. He was throwing leg kicks, defending takedowns, he was a bit techincal than just trying to knock Stipe's head off...there's a reason Jon Jones might not want this fight...Francis has vastly improved than just a KO artist...he's figuring out the game...

He throw leg kicks from his first MMA fight and defend TD from his first UFC fight, go rewatch his career ,against Henrique ,against Blaydes, lot of TD stuff, leg kicks thrown. His best display of leg kicks against JDS he managed to land 4 brutal leg kicks in less that 1mn11 that made JDS panick and land a floppy right hand.

Francis has very clean technique when he doesn't go crazy and windmill. He's also insanely fast and smooth with his punches for someone his size. Seriously, that combination of speed, size, power and technique is something else. He could transition to HW boxing and do very well I think. However, his biggest weakness might be his mindset and fight IQ.

And Rozenstruick caught him with the check left hook as he was comming in swinging sloppy but didnt put enough power behind to send him face first. In this fight he was very aware and technical.

Yea that head kick was really nice. Never saw that coming.
I was a bit sceptical on his improvements since the first Stipe fight. Conseriding how short all of his fights have been since then. But last saturday showed us that his game has improved in a big way.

Feeling defensive, Jean? I wasn't disparaging Ngannou.

Bingo. Teddy was long gone from the Cus D'Amato camp after pulling a gun on Mike.
