Whatever happened to Jack Slack?

He has knowledge of the stand up, but he over analyzes everything. Coupled with his good writing skills, he is sly enough to come off nuanced.

His Reddit username is fightsgoneby

Hilariously picked against Fedor vs Mir.

Constantly tries to act smart when anybody with half a brain knew whoever landed the first big punch in that fight was going to win

Jack slack is a scrub

Ok it was bad to pick against Fedor but Rogan and co did same. Noone breaks down fights and styles before and after like Jack so fuck off.

His writing style is overrated and follows a specific formula, specifically word painting.

Instead of saying: Conor slipped the Jab and landed a counter right hand

It is: Conors masterful fluidity and movement calculation allows him to time and evade the lead hand of his opponent. In this split second, the neurons fire signals from his brain, and a mixture of reflexes and training comes in allowing him to fire the counter punch perfect for situation.

Like sit down Faulkner.

He generally illustrates each explanation with gifs.

It's not that bad for people who would not otherwise know what they are watching.

Enjoyed his Machida breakdowns back in the day for sure. He's also done decent ones for Fedor.

He's not some striking master guy, but it's a place to start.

He is a striking expert derp. The guy busts out boxers past present and future and examples from 100 years ago to prove his point. If there is a PHD in fight knowledge the guy has it already.

Jumped the shark when he wrote an entire book about McGregor being a genius.

I think it has been posted on sherdog but he basically jumped wagon and shilled like crazy.

Writes article that says "Conor is the future of MMA"

Conor loses to Diaz

New article "Conor has one-handed boxing and slapping is the new punching"

Proceeds to write book on Conor <36>

He was the GOAT analyst back in 2015 but for some reason people started to hate on him hard around 2016 I think, I liked his post but I was never full into his content

Fucking nerd. Sorry his expertise went over your head but Jack is not only a great writer but his fight knowledge, grasp of combat history, video analysis, etc is second to NOONE.

For the prose-ly challenged, im sure he comes off as a great writer.

If he did better editing, I'd throw less shade at him. He can still write a cohesive exposition without all the fluff.
