Did anyone else get a kick out of that? Right out of the gate Whittaker tired to pay Romero back for what he did. Immediately went for the knee stomps and continued to utilize them throughout the fight. It's things like this that make Whittaker the killer that he is. Oh could tell he had practiced using this in camp and wanted to hurt Romero just like Romero had hurt him in the first fight. Veteran move.
 
He was asked in a pre fight interview if he thought Yoel would target his knee again.

He said, "sure, I would if I were him, but I have a strategy for that."
 
You gotta fight fire with fire vs. Romero. He wants to play dirty, you gotta play dirty back. You give that guy an inch, and he will take a mile. He will bend the rules and use as much time as he can to recover so any damage you can do to him is fair game in my book.
 
Yeah he really went for it. Some of those kicks looked pretty nasty.
 
Yea I noticed, I also noticed that it seemed to have no affect..Romero’s legs are like kicking at a steel guard rail...Yoel just stood there in that weird stance waiting to uncork an Atom Bomb on Roberts head...
 
Smart gameplan and revenge at that but...did anybody else notice the sheer size of Yoel's thighs?!

I thought Robert's kicks were swelling up Yoels legs only to realizes his legs were already swole

Noticed and liked that a lot.

Should've faked a groin strike and had a few minute breather like Yoel too
