What is izzy biggest weakness that he needs to improve?

[justmark]

I think he needs to be more aggressive. He is the best boxer in the ufc, but he just prefers to not use it and instead fights on the outside throwing leg kicks. I still think he beats strickland easily in a rematch.

 

[backlight]

He needs that dog in him.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

His incredibly thin skin

His biggest weakness is that Izzy existed in a same timeline/universe as Pereira.

 

[RockyLockridge]

I agree with ts, he should work towards controlling the fight and setting the pace rather than fighting at the pace his opponent dictates

 

[oski]

He thinks he's better than he is and he's not tough compared to his composition.

 

[sanguinius]

Best boxer? Based on what fights? Also, what improvements has he shown since his loss to strickland that makes you think that a rematch would go differently? It wasn't like the first fight was a fluke win, he got beaten (outboxed especially) pillar to post.

Best boxer ? His boxing is his weakness. It's not good at all. Day 1 shit is learning some counters to the basic jab which he couldn't show against Strickland at all. Adding to that he looks much much worse when forced to engage instead of waiting to be the counter striker. Outside of tip tappy leg kick bullshit for points, that is.

He existed just fine in their last outing, no?

 

[Neck&Neck]

Better dance moves and a fresher hairstyle

 

[Iroh]

He needs to learn to be more comfortable actively going on the offense and pressuring. He has to become more well rounded as a striker, instead of mainly just a counter striker.

Or go on the biggest cocktail of all the PEDs and become D1-Izzy.

Where the fuck is he btw?

Being a giant douche

 

[omawho402]

They fought twice in the UFC and Izzy got the last laugh. Nothing wrong with talking in a pub about that.

He slept Alex and took the belt from him. I'd say he won the war.

Jesus christ lmao

This kind of shit is why I stay here. Maybe post of the year

you see something dog related in every thread about izzy. you should stick around more often

Yes but that is maybe the best implementation of such a sentiment. For me it wasn't about the dog thing but how he worked it into the thread topic

He's beaten nearly all of the other best middleweight fighters in the sport, and knocked out two of the most fearsome, but his boxing is definitely "not good at all" and requires further input and correction from you.
