And I agree that Leben would look sloppy in a typical sense. But I just think that his style of defending isn't the traditional "block" style lol. The dude has a chin made of granite. I personally think he defends like he does just to frustrate his opponents when they can't knock him out. And that works til he gets in there with a crazy striker like Anderson Silva. Love him or hate him, I think Leben always makes for an exciting fight.
But back to the topic, I am a huge fan of lister. But his boxing was sloppy as hell at the end of the second round and he almost got ktfo. Next time he fights, he needs to be smarter about cutting weight, or just not show up.
