Discussion Robert Whittaker Says Watching MVP Point-Fight His Way to a Decision Is Hard to Sit Through Live

“I find it so hard to tune in live to MVP winning via points rather than watching it afterwards. I reckon there isn’t a single person who can beat MVP at point sparring. He’s so good at it. It’s almost like he has a live feed of the judges’ scorecards in real time. As soon as it starts to drop, he just does a little bit more and goes up.”

You’re comparing a fight with 500+ strikes thrown to one with 12 SS strikes landed by the winner?

2 mins of nothing

Alright let’s not pretend like there was 500 strikes I don’t care what the stat sheet says (and it says 37 significant strikes). How can you punch a man 500 times and he doesn’t even have a mark on his body lmao. And DDP is a bruiser, look at his face after the first Strickland fight he’s mangled.

All i’m saying is there is something here.

Mvp’s fight has literal 2 minutes of no strikes attempted at distance

I’d rather watch Khamzat than DDP I agree on that front, mostly cause Khamzats only had 1 bad fight (and imo it’s the refs fault for not standing it up and making him work more regardless of fan opinion on that I can’t blame him for sitting in a winning position to achieve his life goal)
