[TMLT87]

Mir really should have just held at least the first round to attempt to tire Pulev out but he gave up rather quickly on doing that .

I think he was just not in shape enough to do it, he didnt have the strength and explosiveness to muscle Pulev around and obviously the grappling rules were quite limited so its not like he could have just negated all that and gone for a double leg. You're gonna have to be very quick, strong and durable to be able to just stay right in the superior boxers face and rough house them in the clinch for long periods under those rules.
