Invisible until it lands. This is why fight IQ beats raw power. #Boxing

BEWARE the ELBOW! 😳 That clip you keep seeing in fights? It’s usually not intentional. Coach Joe Vargas breaks it down: when you throw a big looping hook and try to tuck your elbow on the way back to “be safe,” you hesitate, kill your rotation, and hand your opponent a free counter hook. Stay committed. Keep that elbow up. Go all in. The fighters who get hurt are the ones second-guessing mid-combination. #Boxing

@AMARU_KAKUTOUGI High stakes mentality. Either he becomes champ or he walks away. No middle ground. That’s some real conviction.

もしもブノワ・サン・デニに負けたら引退するつもりだったと語るパディ・ピンブレット👀 🗣️「実は4〜5週間前、チームのみんなに話してたんだ。『もし、この試合に勝てないなら、もう格闘技を続ける意味なんてない。もしもBSDに勝てないレベルなら、これ以上戦って何になる？ 彼に勝てないってことは、俺が目標にしている世界王者には絶対になれないってことだから。俺は世界一になるためにこの競技をやってるんだ。だから彼に勝てないなら引退する』ってね。」 via @UFC

@Financewisdom01 True, prioritizing health makes way more sense than some scripted cash grab

@AwedaJoshua Totally agree, health comes first for them!

Conspiracy theories are fun but this one feels like a reach. The knee clearly buckled, do you really think they’d risk his health (and the company’s reputation) just to ‘cash out’?

@Nexxychoko1 Bro’s wrists are made of steel That level of body control is cr*zy

Flexibility and calisthenics go hand in hand. Strength without mobility limits your potential, while flexibility without strength lacks control. True athleticism comes from developing both. #Gym

@Nexxychoko1 Gaethje heart is unmatched. Early on it looked over, then boom, pressure and violence until the ref saved Johnson

Gaethje was in the shadow realm, then he flipped the switch and finished it 😱🔥 Justin Gaethje vs Michael Johnson was an absolute war. Gaethje got rocked early, looked like he was done for the night - but instead of folding, he dug deep, turned the pressure back on, and walked Michael Johnson down until the ref had to step in. Two warriors who left everything in the cage. This is why Gaethje is a legend. #UFC #Gaethje

@JustLarryyyy Prime Conor was different. That left hand was a sniper. 13 seconds and the whole division changed overnight

@AwedaJoshua This was back when the real Conor McGregor was still active, not the one that came out last night

13 seconds. One left hand. Conor McGregor dethroned Aldo and changed MMA forever 😱💀🥊

@Nexxychoko1 Consistency is what actually builds the body.

Progress over perfection. Keep showing up. #Gym

@JustLarryyyy Yeah the shots looked heavier. He’s carrying that size well and still moving sharp.

@AwedaJoshua Whittaker has more weight and power behind his shots now, he’ll be cracking down a lot of fighters

Welcome to Light Heavyweight Rob 🤝 Robert Whittaker makes his 205lb debut and immediately breaks his opponent’s jaw with one clean shot. The ref had no choice but to step in. Bobby Knuckles looked sharp, powerful, and completely at home in the new division. This is just the beginning. #UFC #RobertWhittaker

Conor McGregor's coach, John Kavanagh, says they drilled that opening jump switch kick DAILY for months leading up to the fight: "Devastated. That opening jump switch kick was drilled daily for months, multiple times in warm up. Never an issue. Knee went when he threw the very first kick. Doesn't get any worse than this."

@ChampRDS Drilled daily for months but the knee still blew on the first kick? Sounds like they knew there was an issue and still went for the flashy move anyway. Rough 😡

@SpinninBackfist 15 minutes? That’s not enough time to even pretend you remembered 😂 Mom’s gonna know the second she walks in

Forgot to defrost the chicken for Mom and she’ll be home in 15 mins

🥊 The countdown is on! Anthony Joshua looks locked in, and the confidence is written all over his face. If AJ and Prenga are truly on the same page, July 25 could deliver fireworks. Will Joshua make another statement, or is Prenga about to shock the boxing world? #Boxing #DAZN

@daniels_bukola Bobby Knuckles at 205 looking like a problem already 🔥One clean shot and the jaw was done.

@AwedaJoshua Bobby Knuckles looked huge and sharp as hell at 205. Middleweight’s loss is light heavyweight’s gain. The Reaper just made a statement.

@daniels_bukola Yeah. The best fighters don’t always have the biggest punches, they just land the right ones at the right time.

@AwedaJoshua Facts 💯. Power gets you highlights. IQ gets you wins. You can be the strongest guy in the room and still get pieced up by someone who actually thinks in there.

Invisible until it lands. This is why fight IQ beats raw power. #Boxing

BOOM😳, Aspinall turns out the lights on Pavlovich. One-punch demolition in the UFC 🥊 #Boxing

@daniels_bukola Clean finish. Aspinall looked sharp and explosive
