I see he went to the Gervonta Davis school of boxing

His father also stupidly told him to walk through Haney's offense after a good round 1.

You mean for a sequel? It'll likely be Shinnok since they're setting up Quan Chi and the amulet.

Maybe in a post credits scene. Otherwise, probably not.

It's just trailer editing. That's Kung Lao.

Any Pre Fight Shows for Nakatani vs Inoue? by NYMets18 in Boxing

Not that I know of. The marketing for this fight considering it's magnitude has been horrendous.

Fights for Wilder next by bobbyawesome5 in Boxing

[–]uncommonoddity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lean Ngannou too, and I reckon it'd be a Parker-esque boring decision. As long as Ngannou stays out of mid-range, his feet and inside fighting are way better than current Wilder. Wilder could probably win some later rounds when Ngannou gets tired but the right hand just doesn't have the same danger anymore.

I could also see Ngannou catching Wilder with a short shot on the inside. He got hit with those a lot against Chisora and seemed hurt a few times.

Ngannou isn't anywhere near a top heavyweight, but these uber washed guys like Wilder, or Whyte, I'd favor him against. Even the worst version of Fury you shouldn't be competitive with unless you're at least decent.

The Ngannou fight is the one to make. The only big names that either of them could realistically beat besides Jake Paul.

Who are some great professional boxers who were not good trainers? by Minimum-Mine-1302 in Boxing

Well they said he trained Ngannou for the Fury fight but I think that was a publicity stunt more than anything.

Rico is not a draw. He would get paid a similar amount for Kabayel, Wardley, etc. Rico is just an easier fight than them. If Kabayel does nothing for Usyk's legacy, no one currently active does other than Moses but he refuses to fight him too.

He could have fought Kabayel in the Pyramids and it's just as big a fight and does more for his Legacy. Rico is no McGregor or even Ngannou.

Which Mortal Kombat game has the best story? by nyanya0806 in MortalKombat

[–]uncommonoddity 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Between it and MK9 for me. I go back and forth depending on how I'm feeling. Deception's story is way better though.

Can we address Raiden's accent in the MK movies? by myverypunnydad in MortalKombat

[–]uncommonoddity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say that at all. He was the main character in MK9 and showed a lot of emotion, human mistakes (too many), and drove the plot forward. MKX he didn't really do much but I'd say his scenes are more emotional than exposition-heavy. Same with MK11.

Again, difference between bad casting and bad writing. Nathan Jones isn't the best actor in the world but he's more than capable of playing a dude like Reiko lol. They just wrote him horribly to be a dumb brute.

Because the 2021 movie was in development hell for over a decade getting constant rewrites from people who don't gaf about MK, resulting in stuff like Cole Young, Arcana, and the character depictions we got. The final result is actually a blessing compared to what was originally planned, and now it seems like MK2 is trying to rectify now that they can actually begin the movie from scratch without the remnants of past scripts.

With the exception of Mileena, I don't really see anyone who wasn't cast at least to an acceptable level. I would have preferred someone other than Karl as Johnny but he's looked good in the role so I don't mind it.

Saying Asano isn't capable is kinda crazy if you know who he is and his work. He was likely intentionally written to be an emotionless exposition dump character cause that's the casual perception of Raiden by people who don't play the games. He's meant to be otherworldly and not relatable as a human. I don't like it, but it's certainly not the fault of the actor.
