Good. He’s belongs at LW. Whether the cut is easy or not, he has no power at FW.
im glad to see this those extra 10 lbs seem to be just too much at this point
Should have never went back down…Should have fought Charles
“This cut was easy…”
Most dudes would’ve tried to use the weight cut as an excuse after getting KOed for the first time. Not Max.
He should have never went back down. That was a massive mistake. A lot of fighters have success moving up. Weight cutting is something that can be done for a certain period of time and still have success at the highest level. It’s not natural and it’s not conducive to performance over time in a lot of cases, despite the naive idiot fans who think weighing 3 lbs more than somebody is an automatic destruction of the other person.
He’s only getting older? Nobody told me that
It’s not about weight, height, reach, shoe size. It’s about skill set, match up and your desire to win at all costs. Sometimes your opponent has your number, sometimes you get soft, and some times you dont have the will to give your all. If you have the time to train and improve, you can beat who beat you. Max is short on time and probably the will to push himself to that level like he has done for so long.
You cannot be sure you can defeat elite 155lb guys if you are losing to elite 145lb guys. Its not the cut or the skill. Its the hunger to do what has to be done to overcome the challenge.
I think it’s a little bit of everything, but this is still a great post.
Max is 5’11", so he can pack on the muscle easy
I just looked it up. Apparently it is happening to all of us.
Anyway… how did the doctor appointment go? Did you cut gluten?
No. The doctor said there were “allergy cells” in my esophagus that has caused it to be inflamed. She prescribed me pantoprazole and said not to change my diet for 6 months. She wants to test things out. My prediction is that none of this stuff works and a year from now, I go paleo. I know what my body needs.
Fair enough.
BTW, it’s still gluten that is the issue.
Max won’t have a lot of success at LW.
He KOed a very hittable and reckless Justin, but I think about his rematch at LW with Poirier. Max doesn’t have the firepower for LW, and I don’t see his chin doing well there.
Yeah I believe that as well.
I’ll do what she says for now. We’ll see what happens. Also I’ve already somewhat changed my eating habits. Lol
Justin was a tailor made opponent for him.
Although I suppose Max and Volk and Topuria are all more talented than anyone at 155 that isn’t Islam.
