If there was ever a good time to attempt to work on some new things it would have been that fight, so I don't think TS is wrong for looking for some nuance even in a crap fight. A lot of people thought he lost his previous fight so I'd hope he would have gone into that fight trying to work on some of his issues.
Personally, I wanted to see him work on an uppercut in the Salka fight and I don't think he did that. I think that is the missing punch in his arsenal and it's one of the reasons why Herrera was able to come in on him so easily. But I'm just some guy....Perhaps they think straight shots to the body will be what is best to maintain the distance he likes either way at least they seem to acknowledge the problem
I think he is going to have similar issues with Peterson getting under him on in the inside.
