Kevin Hollands is entertaining, but if he can’t stop a fighter like Tim Means from taking him down, then he’s never going to be a real contender.

He won…but still.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Holland is fun unfortunately I don’t think he’ll ever be a serious contender

 

[spiderjericho]

Maybe he’s the new Tim Means or Jim Miller. Or Cowboy (the Brazilian one).

 

[atransta]

Yeah holland's tdd isnt good enough

Means was literally going for takedowns unprotected eating punches and knees. How do you train for that?

The fight wasn’t even close anyways.

Still got taken down multiple times.

…what do you think would happen against Covington or Usman?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Breh forget Usman and Covington and Chimaev

Holland called out Sean Brady. Get by him first then we can talk about those guys

But Brady would probably make Holland look very very poor

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Emmett is scary

Power is nuts for 45

Kattar fighting smart and hitting him too

 

[boxer15]

Emmett way ahead on whiffing huge punches

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Hella even imo

Kattar can open up on emmett who’s going for all power shots

 

[steevoo1]

Love seeing Kattars step in elbows.

 

[atransta]

Kattar won 4-1 or 3-2 for me

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Could be either man’s fight

Ngl didn’t seem like anyone won it

Kattar had the best moments imo but that doesn’t mean he won

Round by round too close to call, overall fight too hard to call

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I kinda agree 3-2 Emmett

It was a close *** fight, nobody really lost it imo nobody really won it

 

[boxer15]

Close fight, but Kattar deserved that win.

Emmett was landing on arms and gloves and whiffing huge punches. One trick pony.

 

[atransta]

Damn. I was wrong

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It doesn't matter how many times a guy misses on punches

That's not how a fight is scored

 

[steevoo1]

Close fight, was a toss up. Kattar started off a bit slow. Don't think Emmett put a stamp to get next. Its up to Yair now to get an impressive win against Ortega for next.

 

[getback]

Had Kattar 3-2. Jab won it for me.

Max probably gonna do Emmett like he did Kattar if that actually happens.

 

[Davey Magoo]

Could’ve gone either way.

Hard to tell a guy like Kattar that he needs to be more aggressive with his power punches when he’s got that kind of firepower coming back at him.

…but that’s what cost him the fight imo.

That's sad but you're right. Emmett by all means earned his title shot, unfortunately it wasn't an emphatic win

Yair doesn't deserve a shot even if he beats T City

I mean significant strike count from round 3-5 was in Kattar’s favor.

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying because a lot of idiot judges think those huge misses land and score them.

Ok totally valid point on the judging

I think I can make the argument that Emmett won 1-3 on the cards but yeah super close

 

[boxer15]

Judging and counting strikes in general is totally subject. You can’t see everything that lands or misses from one static angle.

That being said neither Emmett nor Kattar will ever be champ.

 

[steevoo1]

That's sad but you're right. Emmett by all means earned his title shot, unfortunately it wasn't an emphatic win

Yair doesn't deserve a shot even if he beats T City

100% Yair wouldn't but he just has a fan friendly style where I could see them giving him the shot if he sleeps Ortega.

If Max beats Volk ohhh mannn.. The division won't be moving along at the top for a while.
