thats my point, why are people saying bj got taken down because his cardio sucked, the fact is cardio or no cardio, he got taken down and he lost the fight because of it
yes, again gsp was pretty successful in his takedown attempts to win the fight the first time, i don't see bj's takedown defence creating too much of a threat the second fight either |
I think you should watch the GSP/Penn fight again. GSP isn't succesful in taking Penn down until the second round, when Penn is already gassed. Thus, people postulate that a fresh Penn's TDD > GSP's TD's. It wasn't a matter of Georges "taking him down pretty much whenever he wanted, " it was a matter of GSP taking him down pretty much after he was gassed.
