Whatever happened to Jack Slack?

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.

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.

Haha perfect way to put it. Its also clear that he got none real fight experience

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

Didn't Mir land the first big punch though?

Jack is actually a huge Fedor nut hugger. His take on the fight was that both fighters are well past their best and it didn't matter who won cause they're both shot to bits

Read 90 Percent of his fight previews/analysis. He refused to pick a fighter and make a prediction, yet obviously favored one fighter to win in his analysis. The best is he'd write his articles trying to act as an unbiased observer, but then he'd go to Twitter and post shit like




Serious, pick any article of his.

Slack is awesome. Hope he gets in a large publication again as he breaks things down so well, that even if u ain't an expert or mid tier you understand almost as a yellow belt

Theres a vid of 2pacsfather in real life, but I'm not really sure if it's actually him.

I think Sherdog stopped letting him post his analysis on the forum, since he would post a paragraph and then link the rest of the article.

I thought that was pretty much the way every article is supposed to be posted: posting entire articles is against the rules.

No, not an example of that, an example of him saying that he is completely unbiased. Because that is ridiculous for any analyst to say. It is nearly impossible to break down a fight without "favoring" a fighter. And even in the post you showed, he doesn't say TJ will win. He simply says that Dominick doesn't win EASY (which he didn't), and even acknowledged the possibility of victory in the very same statement. Did you actually read this or did you just glance over it?

Jack Slack was amazing. I have no idea how people here hate such detailed breakdowns. It says alot about our culture that our attention span is so short we get angry if we have to read anything longer than a tweet. Also Slack used to post gifs of all his references. He put so much effort in his work, just to be hated here, makes no sense.
 
Does someone remember what his Sherdog alias was? Can't remember what his nick was..?
 
Jack Slack got sacked cus he kept jacking and slacking off.
