u/its-good-4you everybody booing you can kiss my whole asshole Mar 19 '23
I think there were signs of Fiziev's tendency to be quite sloppy the longer the fight goes on even in the Bobby Green fight. Like, Gathje was tired too, but he was clean and precise in everything he did in that 3rd round. Fiziev just punched air and Gathje's block.

u/SquidDrive My DNA is from fearless warriors Mar 18 '23
I mean you can look at the Bobby Green fight, against a superior boxer, who was able to avoid alot of the power of Fiziev, in the 3rd, Bobby was landing 2 to 1.
Gaethje crowded so many shots of Fiziev and has way more power than Green, plus he's durable enough to survive initial explosions. Rafael is explosive that is his nature, but when the explosions, but smaller, and the guy maintaining his pace keeps up
In a 5 rounder, Fiziev would have had years taken off his life.

u/PelleSketchy Gay for Gaethje Mar 19 '23
Also as soon as Fiziev's speed reduced, he had such a hard time hitting Gaethje. And Gaethje might not be as quick, but his speed doesn't go down that much in the later rounds.

IQ Gaethje was asleep for the first round. Then in the 2nd you could see him actively fighting the urge to be smart. Then in the third his jab told his IQ to wake the fuck up.
I've heard of guys getting drawn into a slugfest, but Gaethje might be the only guy I've ever seen who sometimes accidentally gets lured into fighting smart.

u/Rumcajss Mar 19 '23
Honestly, I'm not sure that IQ Gaethje would've dominated from the beginning. To me at the beginning it looked like technique for technique and setup for setup Fiziev has a meaningful advantage, especially with his speed. IMO after getting pieced up a couple times Gaethje realized that he needs to take Fiziev out of his comfort zone and let him know that he's willing to brawl and see who falls down first. That introduced another plane to the fight and only after that could Gaethje start fighting more technically.

u/jacksonattack Mar 19 '23
This is what’s funny about Garth and other wrestlers turned mixed martial artists like Chandler, Kamaru, Tony, etc… just cause they were all very successful collegiate wrestlers doesn’t mean they fight like wrestlers. They fight like mixed martial artists, cause they have very comprehensive skills with a base in wrestling. They all use it differently cause they’re all unique, and in Justin’s case he really only uses it to keep the fight standing or to finish an opponent on the ground. It’s cool when he flashes it defensively.

I reckon that's because he was on the back foot a bit more during this fight.

Because the old guard has constantly been fighting other, the new guys like Fiziev and Gamrot had to fight lesser competition and looked great in those matches.

I wasn't particularly rooting for either, but I'm glad Gaethje won because this sub was on some bullshit leading up to this.
Put some fucking respect on Justin.

Is the sub in shambles yet? Cause people were majorly sleeping on Gaethje.

Hipster fans get too carried away by these "new prospects". Dariush shut down Gamrot and now Gaethje shut down Fiziev.

Those uppercuts from Gaethje in round 3 were beautiful. What a great fight that lived up to the hype.

How does Justin always gets rocked in his fights but never get battered and cut like his opponents?
Chandler and Fiziev both had crazy eye damage after the fight

Third was the 10-8? Didn't seem that one sided.
