Wonderboy's striking looked better than ever in his last fight but nah, he's washed... just stop it

Wonderboy ain't washed, but he definitely looks old. He had to stick with fundamentals until Holland's hand was really badly hurt. His explosiveness and agility has definitely declined a little. Wonderboy can still take a shot, but people have to remember that Holland hurt him bad in the 1st round and broke his hand while landing that punch. Once Holland wasn't able to defend, then Wonderboy was able to have field day and control everything. Holland also took Wonderboy down and looked like he would be able to control him if he wasn't so stubborn to prove that he could out strike Wonderboy without one hand. Hence, Wonderboy isn't washed, but he is definitely not the same fighter as he used to be and could very well lose this fight

I just think the size of Periera is going to give him issues. It's either going to be masterclass by Wonderboy or people are going to start asking whether it's time to hang up the gloves

but periera gasses really bad and this fight is at elevation so he might only have 3-4 mins of actual cardio before he starts just jabbing and plodding around

I really think Michel will be able to out grapple wonderboy. Maybe even sub him. I think I'm the only one excited to see medic fight. That dudes fun and he's been working with kings in the time he's had off. I think he's gonna be a problem for semi on the feet

Anyone who thinks Tony is not washed needs to watch Embedded #2 if all his recent fights wasn't enough.

Holloway talking about fighting the winner of Gathje and Poirier i kinda like the matchup but i think he loses both he might be able to pull through against dustin but lightweight power is different and his chin wont last forever

Thank you!

I asked you all about a parlay bet from last card I was thinking of making, Filho and Alvarez. I put down $55.55 and won some solid money. I was very confident in it but for some reason the assurance of you ****s really helped. 

So thanks! 

I am planning on doing a Holland and Jan parlay for this event on Saturday. Alex hits very hard so you never know but I do not see Jan messing around too much with his striking and instead using his grappling to win a UD.

To me it looks like typical Tony. If anything the I love the fans but I'm doing this for me. Gives me I'm winning at all costs (wet blanket for 15) after his last fight and playing with the crowd and buying into it.

I'm talking about the best 60 sec footage they could put together of him including him failing at skip rope, looking slow and inaccurate with his footwork and generally looking thin in body as well as self-consciously hiding his balding head.

Tony looks a shell of himself. Man needs professional help. Not more head trauma
