I always feel tired watching DJ right. Like it exhausts me and I’m not even doing anything lmao

Same with Cruz and TJ

 

He’s literally never off balance. You never see him even stumble. It’s crazy. But Henry is an interesting counter because he’s actually strong and technical enough to get him pinned down.

 

Holy shit DJ getting out of that takedown

 

Think DC is right on the money, DJ is switching gears and forcing Henry to fight at an uncomfortable pace.

 

Holy shit

 

God dayum

 

I think the judges give it to DJ 3-2

It could go either way.

 

That was a classic. Man, that decision is kinda up in the air.

 

Kinda how I’m leaning but I’m not going to be surprised either way. I think DJ still did more even in the rounds where he got taken down but who knows. 5th round was damn near a 10-10 so that doesn’t help.

 

Oh my god

 

WOWWWW

 

Rematch at MSG in the main event please

 

Good for Henry man. That was about the best you can fight DJ despite it basically being a draw.

 

Henry I'm happy for you but mannnn you aren't getting the chance to move up.

If ANYBODY has ever deserved a rematch it's DJ lol

 

This is a weird one because it doesn’t put DJ in a different light. He took 0 damage in the fight to a guy he’s already finished, but seeing how he makes adjustments...I would expect him to come back completely prepared to deal with those takedowns.

 

Ugh DJ is such a class act and unfortunately that's why he never got the publicity he deserved.

 

Wow

 

Give me Moraes vs TJ please

 

Man that was nuts. TJ is a killer. Cody is fast and powerful but he throws from his hips whereas TJ switches stances, waits, and positions himself to always be able to throw a tighter hook that will get there faster and cleaner.

When they just stand and trade (like when TJ got dropped in the first fight) it’s basically a shootout. 50/50 chance who gets there first, but if TJ let’s him go first and throws when his time is right, he gets it done every time.

 

The way TJ can counter after getting tagged is incredible. He just has a tighter standup game

 

Why not

 

DJ tore an LCL and broke his foot it looks like

 

Yeah he mentioned it in the post fight press conference.

Unless TJ fights Moraes they'll probably let TJ/Henry fight. Just depends on who wants to move up or down.

 

Cody has a glass chin. TJ is an animal but man, Cody can't take much damage before he's just gone.

I don't think he was ever actually really hit in many of his previous fights outside of TJ. I don't even know where you go with Cody from here. He can't fight TJ again for a long while. He'll need to win 3-4 fights before getting back into that discussion.

Lineker-Garbrandt? That'd be exciting but would probably end badly for Cody as well.

 

Can only hope haha
