Bobby Knuckes looked fantastic

Seriously forget how good this guy really is. 

 

Such a far cry from the Izzy performance, interested in seeing how he does in the rematch

This. Not enough Whittaker talk, Im excited for him vs Izzy too. If he can stay composed he can give Izzy a good run

Meh, Bobby’s gameplan was flawed in the first fight. 

 

he can absolutely make adjustments in the rematch.

He has always looked fantastic. Except against Adesanya. Love Whitaker. Such a act

Sort of, but Izzy is longer faster and just an overall better striker.

whittaker also keeps his hands low.

Yeh Whitaker has nothing for Izzy. Too bad cause he’s a good guy. Would like him to fight Weidman and put him out of his misery.

Yes but Whittaker seemed to rush in against Izzy. If he can stay composed, who knows

Whitaker did look sharp last night but he was fighting a rather limited fighter in Canonier. Whitaker has a good jab and straight but I’m sorry, he still has nothing for Izzy. Izzy is much faster, longer abd much more technical. It would take Izzy having a real off night and Whitaker to have a great one in order for the fight to even be close

Whitaker did save Cannonier from getting embarrassed by Izzy though. Lol seriously, some of us thought Jared had something to threaten Izzy…we were very wrong

Hmm I disagree. We have seen when fighters try to stay on the outside and exchange strikes with Izzy… They lose. Whitakers only chance imo is to get in on Izzy and brawl with him up close or make it a wrestling match. Whitaker couldn’t do anything to Cannonier or Til on the ground so he won’t have much for Izzy either. I think people are forgetting how good Izzys anti-grappling is

I’d like to see the rematch but I don’t see a different outcome. 

 

Bobby is pure I think Adesanya is on a different level. 

 

Would love for Whitaker to prove me wrong :slight_smile:

I’m a fanboy but I think Bobby can beat Izzy with the right mind frame an game plan 

U need a wrestler to beat Izzy, right now u ain't got to much at Middle

Whitaker is best when sniping on the outside, the problem is Adensanya can't be fucked with at that range.

If I remember correctly wasn’t Whittaker rather wild the first fight against Izzy?

He looked great compared to his last 2 fights. I don't know what made him start lunging in with hooks but it got him finished. If till wasn't so trigger shy atm he would've finished bobby.

I think so too,but Bobby might mix it up with wrestling this time.Still would love to see how it goes

You gotta remember how long it had been since Rob had fought when he fought Izzy. He was way too eager to bang, and probably a bit rusty. Now he’s had a couple scraps he’ll be 10x better.

This.  Ace Franklin vs Anderson Silva.

I think Whittaker surprises a lot of people in the rematch.
