Well, he just made the guy who many people on here consider to be the best striker in the LW division look like a complete amateur.
I hope this curbs the"overated boxing" talk for a while.
ttt
vangor - When was Florian ever a good striker,lol. He's never been a good striker.lol
the only reason you had the impression that other people thought kenny was "the best striker in the LW division" is because as soon as they started hyping this fight with ufc 101 countdown they overexxagerate everything... its called marketing, not reality
I would have to say bj has the best striking in LW right now with diego and frankie edgar tied for a close second
outside of UFC alvarez/hansen are both very good strikers aswell
thats 5 people that I think everyone can agree (before this fight) have better striking then kenny
lol @ Diego "close 2nd"
Ridiculous. His 1870's boxing style doesn't hold a candle to BJ's crisp strikes.

Kenny has a left kick from hell.

I'd definitely put Maynard and Edgar ahead of Diego in striking.
my favorite from last night was during the Riley/Nelson fight, when Rogan said said Gurgel had awesome stand-up skills. proof that Rogan occasionally suffers from temporary blindness. lay off the weed!

People seem to always say he has "k1 level striking" which i've always thought was a load of shit
Kenny was back pedalling just as much against Huerta. I agree that Penn has excellent hands, but this doesn't really prove it.

If you really were a lurker and not just some noob you might know this. but thanks

Hansen is a much better striker than Kenny. So is Gomi. Shit Jens is a better striker than Kenny.
nobody41 - Uno, Din, Sherk, Joe Daddy,Hughes,etc... would probably say BJ can strike. He fucked all of them up with the hands.
You can add GSP to this list... BJ put him in the hospital after their first fight:

You're an idiot. GSP got hit twice... a thumb in the eye that cut him, and a clip on the tip of the nose which made it bleed. GSP outstuck the living shit out of BJ in the rematch and not only put BJ in the hospital, gave him a retirement party from 170.
florian is a good striker, but hardly the best in the division
in the UFC I would say bj is near the top
don't know who is the best
BJ's striking totally sucks
spencer fisher is up there

What the hell is wrong with you man? The post his about how solid his hands are... he mentioned a bunch of fights... I referenced his first fight with GSP where BJ pretty much dominated the standup and you flip out?
If you really believe that GSPs face looked like that all from a thumb in the eye and a clip on the tip of his nose... then I certainly would have to question your judgment.
The ridiculous man love for GSP has to stop. You guys have become worse than the BJ nuthuggers.
BJ does have overrated striking, he thrives because of a great chin and a lot of power but his technique isn't anything special
^^ that's why he barely ever gets hit and lands his jab like 3/4 of the time.. HORRIBLe it's all because of the chin
