Denis Grachev vs. Edwin Rodriguez

[vacon04]

This was weird, I mean Rodriguez struggled against guys like George and that Argentinian from his last fight and now he demolishes Grachev.

Rodriguez has mastered that if you swing so wide and loopy that your punches will land on the softest spot of the head the back of it causing a KO

those were some sloppy overhands that were all rabbit punches

[pesticid]

Grachev just froze at the speed from Rodrigues and he was a sitting duck. Weird cause he's faced fast fighters in Ismail and Lucian. Great win fro Rodrigues!

Easiest 600k Rodriguez has ever made.

Good win and stoppage IMO. Mbaye was really hurt there.
Wasn't a very impressive win but Khabib showed he can make the adjustments needed.

Khabib used to box and move a bit but seemed intent on only looking for power flurries while inching forward but when he started to use some angles and his legs he found more success

what the f#ck just happened? rofl


as i explained earlier, rodriguez started his career as an aggressor. he had whipping power, and threw a great uppercut to the body and overhand right in close. he got hit a lot because he got very close and has long arms.

lately they've tried to keep him at a distance, but he wasn't as effective with his power. that obviously wasn't how things went tonight, where he went in close to work the body and land the left hook and overhand right to the head

[Russian Crushin]

Well im shocked. Did not expect those looping shots to take Denis out

grachev was ducking into them, which is the wrong way to get out of the way of the right hand. rodriguez telegraphs his right hand. he always has, ever since i first saw him when he had five fights.

grachev was timing it and ducking. the punches weren't aimed for the back of his head, though thye were looping. if grachev didn't duck they would have landed on his face.
