He's getting Lebron treatment because he turned out to not be Jordan, if that makes sense. Yeah, Izzy is very good. He has pretty much cleared out the MW division, he has beaten 4/5 of the top 5 guys already. Edited June 14, 2021 by NYRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Forgive me but watching a 2 year old and the PPV means skipping certain things...like seeing Uncle Dana put the strap on Izzy before even hearing Bruce announce the winners LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Colby hasn't changed, Usman won the 1st fight and is much improved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did dominate Woodley...but so did Burns...and Usman. It definitely was close but you cant deny Usman has gotten alot better on the feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if it is really the toughest one because as on now, we have no idea how Colby wins. I still think Burns is a helluva matchup because it negates the wrestling and he has legit KO power. Colby can put on a pace but unless he takes the fight to the mat he wont win a standup battle imo. Usman was winging some big shots vs Masvidal though, if he doesnt tighten that up then Colby could level change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Colby is essentially a worse version of Usman tbh. Usman is a bad man, going to be tough for anyone to beat him but I still think Colby is probably his toughest fight at 170 at the moment. If Wonderboy can beat Burns that'd be a nice fight to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't hate to see it Agreed. Usman is such a tough matchup for anyone because he has a great chin, his striking has improved a ton, and his wrestling/cardio are so high level. Wonderboy actually does have pretty good takedown defense though so if he could stuff a few I could see his awkward striking style giving Usman some problems.

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Izzy on the mic after the W I thought was a good callout of Whittaker. I feel like in the post-fight presser and pre-fight build up he is cringe at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon bloodied him up real good. Getting rocked wasnt ideal but Usman got dropped by Burns and no one is clamoring for that rematch There needs to be a title eliminator. I’ve said this before but Leon hasn’t fought the greatest quality of fighter. Took 18 months off, poked belal in the eye and then beat a guy who very likely isn’t a top 12 welterweight. Fight wonderboy (who he already ducked) or burns. Or a Luque rematch. I’ll ask you, what is Edwards best win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of his last 3 I suppose? idk, but its not like Colby's resume is all that great either and just recently lost to Usman It isnt the best resume for sure, but lets not act like Colby has earned this rematch Edited June 14, 2021 by JaguarCrazy2832 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
