Media Wonderboy thinks Colby stand up is crap

[Paolo Delutis]

Hes right...colby just flails around winging shit till he can get in the clinch..

Thompson would flatline colby...R1 k.o

I don't hear Colby bragging about his standup. He is a much better fighter
than Wonderboy now and ever was.

That may be true but it doesn't make anything Wonderboy said false.

Lmao Wonderboy fought Woodley in his prime, Colby fought him coming off two losses. Can't compare them IMO.

Even in his prime, Woodley was a low energy fighter without much output. Jake Shields beat him with high-volume pitter patter striking. Colby could definitely do the same prime vs. prime against Woodley, and more convincingly than Shields did.. I'd also pick Colby vs. any version of Wonderboy (though of course WB would have a puncher's chance). Colby has a great chin and brings the kind of pressure (striking and grappling) that's hard for Wonderboy and other karate-based fighters to deal with.

I actually like both guys, and there's probably some truth to what WB said, but you have to wonder if he's not a little bitter that he couldn't beat Woodley...or maybe he could but he didn't pull the trigger enough to outstrike him. He was too hesitant, probably because of Woodley's power or a TD. Colby doesn't worry about those things.

Funny thing is Colby doesnt even give two shits about even speaking Thompsons name. Would eat Thompson up like breakfast and everybody knows it. Thompson clearly doesnt like the guy and it shows lol

 

[GangGangGang]

Well his striking on a technical level is crap in Wonderboys eyes. And thats totally true. Who has Colby knocked out striking? He has only 1 knockdown in UFC (against Meunier) and he has the lowest striking accuracy and striking defense of the top 5 WWs. Just pure facts.

Nah, it would look more like WB's loss to Matt Brown.

COLBY = GOAT

COLBY = NEXT CHAMP

He’s not wrong

correct. In mma , Colby wins pretty easily. In striking only, wonder boy toys with Colby. So wonder boy isn’t wrong. Colby would whoop my ass too, but his striking sucks by comparison to a lot of people.

 

[Switchstep]

Lol this is the closest thing to trashtalk that I've ever heard Wonderboy say

 

[Goatbib]

Wonderduck will beat Colby but he knows he cannot beat Khazmat

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

Wonderboy went life and death with Woodley both fights and lost to Woodley. Colby FINISHED Woodley.

Woodley is on a downward spiral, that an unfair comparison.

 

[Yungrich]

Even when he's being critical, he still manages to be as friendly as Bob Ross.

He’s the new gsp in terms of most friendly fighter

 

[The Half Blood Prince]

Colby was able to demolish Tyrone on his feet. Something
Wonderbread couldn't come close to. He needs to stfu.

lmao someone's hurt.

It's his opinion which he is obviously well educated to speak towards, I mean it is kinda true.

We all know how hesitant Tyron fights now where he backs himself up against the cage and just stares at his opponent now.

 

[Ladder Master]

Tyron has reached the bottom of the spiral.
He is just a human punching bag collecting paychecks now.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Nah, it would look more like WB's loss to Matt Brown.

Colbys running in while spasming strikes is tailor made for the karate style.....

Thompson side steps and counter ko

 

[Alphafail]

Please don't make it happen, Dana.

 

[fortheo]

I wish we got wonderboy vs. Maia around 2015 ish. One of my random dream fights that never came to be.

 

[cheesus]

I largely agree with what he said, he's striking is definintely crap, he has respectable boxing especially in the pocket and at close range doesn't really have much leather behind it I think he could work on his power a little bit.
