Did you spot the glaringly obvious and wonderful opening that jackson missed there.
Could have ended the fight but he missed it cos he was covering.
Not to take anything away from UFC fighters but 99% of them cant punch for shit and wouldnt last 1 round in a boxing match.

The standard of stand up fighting in UFC is vastly inferior to that in of other systems, on the whole though not across the board of course.
Isolating that clip a reasonable boxer would have taken that left hook opportunity jackson had and used it to good effect.

Like i was saying before, it works ok if you are in a cant cope situation. Which is what jackson was in here, eyes closed, going through the motions no counter punches.

The no1 sign that a boxer is in control of his defense is that he can counter punch off it.
I know this is UFC but the point still stands. If you are defending and can counter you are in control, if you cant counter you are out of control.


Having said that, like i said before, it has its time and place, ie when you cant block due to being overwhelmed and this is how jackson used it here and it worked for him. It worked in the sense that he didnt get hit.
It failed also because he missed the opening, thats the whole point me and mike are making i think.
