So predictable that some would classify it as being exposed anytime you don't knock out an opponent in the first round.
Unless you're a strong wrestler yourself, which is not Page's milieu, rather something he's trying to do in reverse at a passable level; it's hard to ko an opponent who is just trying to hold and stall for the duration of the match. If people actually watched the Wonderboy-Burrell fight, that was much closer, and actually it was more so Thompson who was initiating the clinching. In the process he got hit plenty. To me it's a pretty big payment of respect to Page's skills for Burrell to fight not to win rather to not get clowned, even after he was being taunted during the fight and before it. He didn't show Wonderboy that level of respect, and Wonderboy is mr. nice guy and strong striker in his own right.
Also, Page didn't allow any real td's against him in spite of continual attempts. Even though Burrell is not a good wrestler, it's a testament to Page's balance and counter techniques for that to occur. He displayed his wrestling is at least adequate for the sport. Previously he's subbed a couple opponents. He's a mixed martial artist, not just a striker. Stock neutral at least. The people who act like your stock should go down unless you finish opponents, or in the first round, are they anti-hype contingent or think of the sport in too simplistic of a way.
