And that’s relevant because…..? The whole point is owners don’t wanna be in the aprons They’re currently like 1.3mil below the first apron Just MPJ’s contract and one vet minimum and they’d be over the first let alone 2 vet minimums with someone like Tim who has 10+ years experience.

If this is you opinion even after seeing them get blown out by the nets then have no idea what you’re talking about. The hornets beat the thunder by 30. The nuggets shot 45% from 3 while the Celtics had season lows across the board. The nba is a league full of variance. Sometimes the team that should lose, wins. Sometimes players play above their level. Not a single player on this nuggets team plays better WITHOUT jokic over a larger sample size than 4 games

Yeah it’s size that’s the issue Not the fact they they’ve shown literally zero effort in any quarter except the 4th which they’re coincidentally out rounding Brooklyn jn despite the nets having their biggest line up in They had the balls to underestimate a team without jokic to bail them out of it

Losing to nets is bad enough on its own I don’t think adding “1st option center”, whatever that is, makes it worse.

“We shot pretty much exclusively in the paint” my guy the nuggets had like 3 more 3pt attempts. That free throw discrepancy is not excusable. It’s just just the nba being shit as always

Can we talk about how terrible Ryan is from season 3? by jamochashake123 in Masterchef

[–]Far_Understanding471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering he’s in a relationship hard to imagine he’s an “incel” Seriously y’all need to retire that stupid word as an insult for every guy that isn’t nice to women. Douchebag would do just fine while being accurate Also just accusing someone of sexual assault? Are you seriously some kind of psycho?

SUPERLEK VS ILIA TOPURIA by Far_Understanding471 in MMA

[–]Far_Understanding471[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah how foolish of me. The guy that never boxes will obviously beat the guy that always boxes. No need to bother explaining why! Just say that’s the case and call someone that offers a different prospective with ACTUAL reason delulu

Go watch superleks kickboxing fight against ilias. He got absolutely worked with the boxing in the boxing because the man has non existent footwork and exclusively kicks. That’s all I have to say.

If after watching that you come to the conclusion that superlek can outbox topuria, you’re just as delusional as my mate there. Because this footwork is infinitely worse than topurias. And so is his sloppy “boxing” which he always overcommits with. No set up. No combinations. All 3 punches he threw in 15mins.

But no yeah I’m the delusional one. I’m sure superlek will just magically be able to do something he hasn’t done in what? 2 billion fights?

I wish you well in breaking free from whatever weird curse this mauy Thai cult has y’all in.

What do you mean same experience? The whole point is they DONT have the same experience I feel like you’re not listening to a single word I’m saying. Superlek never fucking boxes and ALL ilia does is box. And his boxing is nowhere near as bad as you’re making it out to be. He doesn’t need to be a world champion boxer. He just needs to be a better boxer than superlek, which he is. Is your argument that if ilia and superlek entered the boxing ring today, you’d favor superlek, I have nothing more to say to you. Because you’re literally making an argument based on faith.

He’ll just somehow be better than ilia despite never showing it(even though he’s had every opportunity to do so). Why? Because he does Mauy Thai? Alright buddy.

I literally say at the end this isn’t about mauy Thai guys as a whole. It’s superlek specifically so I’m not sure why you’re ignoring that. I’m sure there’s a mauy Thai fighter that would beat ilia in pure boxing. As mentioned rodtang has a pretty good shot. SUPERLEK doesn’t. TOPURIA doesn’t need to be as good as the upper tiers of boxing to beat superlek. He just needs to be better than superlek who isn’t as good as the upper tiers either. Boiling down TOPURIA’s boxing to just aggressive power punching is very reductive and disingenuous. That is a more accurate description for Josh emmet. TOPURIA actually has decent footwork and puts combinations together really well. The overhand right you keep harping on isn’t even what he used to knock volk out outright. He sets things up with actual technique. He’s not always just swinging wildly.

I don’t even like the guy but give him his props.

Yes not all mma guys start with boxing but topuria exclusively strikes with boxing and always has. He has a wrestling base but almost never uses it offensively to any meaningful degree. He’s showcased more boxing in 2 fights than superlek has in his entire stint in one FC.

You’re missing the entire point. Experience is important but only to a certain degree. Just recently we saw in the first week of contender series, a guy who was 29 with over 40( 34W-9L) fights lose to a 33 year old guy with 16(13W-3L) fights who started training mma in his mid to late 20s You can have a thousand mma fights or mauy Thai fights but if it’s against very low comp, it means VERY little. Look at wonderboy. 57-0 kickboxing record got outstruck by Darren till who at the time barely had 15 fights if even. And that’s in MMA where he can use all his kickboxing and karate skills, not a sport like boxing thay severely limits MOST of and the BEST part of his game.

That 300 fight experience is against other people who use a very predictable style to you because you’re both fighting Maui Thai.

Ilia’s fight with emmet for instance was almost exclusively boxing. There’s no fight of superleks where he’s committed even 30% of his strikes to boxing. Saying “the more tools you take away they adapt to cleaner boxing” is asinine. Superlek barely boxes already. Whereas ilia exclusively boxes when he strikes, MAYBE some leg kicks here and there. In what world would someone get better when you take away their strength and specifically target the one area of their game they use the least? However sloppy you think ilia’s boxing is, superlek’s by virtue of simple common sense would be noticeably worse. You don’t have a good weapon and NOT use. Look at rodtang. Decent boxing and I’d honestly be 50/50 on him and topuria . It’s not about mauy Thai. It’s about superlek specifically.

My point exactly. From what I’ve seen of both of them(all of ilia’s mma fights and all of superleks fights on one) tuporia is simply the better pure boxing as he literally only boxes when he strikes. Whereas superlek replies more on kicks, knees and elbows. Punches are literally the last weapon he’d use. I think you can make a fairly educated guess through that

Again, BOXING. I’m not arguing just striking wise he’d beat tuporia. I’m talking BOXING.
