Leon just doesn’t have “IT” as a superstar, much less a star, period. The fight was what it was, but real stars can get the crowd back when they get on the mic. Leon had nothing. Despite his ranking, he’s just “some” guy, a black hole of charisma.
This fight was supposed to be a showcase for him and his “coming out” party. Leon dropped the ball at the one yard line! He’s not getting a title-shot unless they want another highlight reel for Usman.
He thought Edwards was playing opossum and trying to sucker him in. By the time he realized how hurt Edwards was it was too late. Poor recognition and fight IQ.
Yeah he made it exciting in the end but just getting beat up to land that one thing when the opponent is sleeping at the end isn’t the best strategy. Against a Connor or those who will wilt by the middle, it will work but his game doesn’t work on the best at WW or LW.
Fuck man. Haha. If these fights had no time limit, a gonna die in an ambulance Nate Diaz would have eventually won with 1 leg and no skin on his head. I don’t like it and I don’t like the dumb antics, but I get why he has a ton of fans. People love that shit.
Yet another loss and probably increased in fans, even at this stage.
SKIP THE POINTING AND TALKING FOR A FEW SECONDS AND GET THE W, LOL.
What are you talking about? Leon hit Diaz with plenty of shots that would have put most men on their backs, never mind the fact he opened him up on several places. He just refused to play into the Diaz game of ‘stand and bang’.
