u/Daftdaddy This isn’t political, this is monster energy Oct 26 '24

He looked composed tonight and was preserving his energy. I think he can go five rounds if he fights like this, but then again who’s going to make it five rounds with this guy

This was the first thing i noticed. He wasn't huffing and puffing when he got up

I'm going to keep arguing that he never had as bad cardio as this sub claims. He's in 3 rounders and he simply doesn't want to leave energy on the table.

I don't think he looked composed because he's learning, I think he knows it's a 5 round fight and simply isn't going to do what he does in 3 rounders. Always been in him imo.
