While I agree with you to a certain extent,I also disagree.While that isn't the best strategy it is very effective with a guy with a beard like Lebens.
Anderson Silva used one thing that others that are falling to the left hand bomb didn't.A jab and footwork to stay the hell away from Leben and use distance.Most guys hit Leben and keep hitting them then they want to hit there jab plant there feet and throw a hard straight right but whenever they plant there feet they are dead where they stand,because the left is coming and your lights are going out,whether he is looking or not,he knows where you are at.Hence the dead on accuracy.People talk about Leben winning on "lucky" punches,the truth is he has a blueprint to how each of his fights end. Silva is the one truthfully lucky who landed a punch to the temple and then one to the jaw and actually hurt Leben,to hurt Leben is lucky,not to get punched by him.I guarantee you if Leben could have regained composure,Silva would have stopped bouncing around by the 3rd round and got caught with something with some stank on it.
