Elsalvajeloco Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 Jacob Montalvo with the mercy stoppage. If you're fighting somebody who is at least 2x as fast as you as a kickboxer and much better with her technique, why are you still half committing? That's why I've never really been high up on Chookagian. It's like she is constantly questioning herself as she is throwing something. So everything looks weak. Valentina was throwing like a relief pitcher with an 102 mph fastball. Just out there with heat on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Pretty much the best possible outcome from that fight. Valentina looks phenomenal and gets a near flawless victory, Chookagian doesn't suffer extreme amounts of brain trauma but is completely exposed. And yeah, that Romero/Adesanya fight is one of the most exciting matches that could be made right now. Still feel like Romero looks outclassed for 10 or 15 minutes before catching Israel leaning back. Edited February 9, 2020 by Oyaji 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Do we get a Jones spin in the back before the walkout tho? DUCK, BROTHER! THEY FUCKIN' MISSED IT! Edited February 9, 2020 by Oyaji 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 She just missed with that. Would've been Eye 2.0 if her heel landed. Fuck, that was just about the most impressive round anybody has ever had against Jones. Only saw that bully mentality in the last 45 seconds. Reyes' demeanor changed after that head kick.

She landed with the ball of her foot albeit a glancing blow. I've seen her KO people like that as a kickboxer, but her spin had to be much faster to generate the impact and she needs to land that flush to the side of the jaw. Katelyn also had the good fortune to be backpeddling at the time as not to be caught. That spinning back hook kick was Bill Supefoot Wallace's go-to lights out technique..

Jiji Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 This is fucking great. Reyes is way more cerebral than I thought. Really switching it up and doing a pretty good job of picking his spots but he's gotta be a bit more active in the second half of the rounds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're chasing a title, you have to be a busy fighter, otherwise judges sometimes award championship prerogative points if the titleholder is dominant in the later minutes of the round.

Jiji Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Do you give these rounds to Reyes for landing the more significant strikes? I could see it being 3-0 Reyes, or 2-1 but I don't think Jones has done quite enough to win round 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setsuna Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I've got 3-1 Reyes but I could see a SD either way here and wouldn't be upset about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Looks like it's all going to be down to how you score rounds 2 and 3. The second in particular was close but I liked the more impactful strikes of Reyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I think Reyes won it. 3-2, possibly 4-1. But I also think way back to the first Shogun vs Machida fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
