bj penn: "you know what shawn wasnt doing bad that fucking guy, left hooks left hooks."
his corner "why you letting him land the left hook"
"he was pretty sneaky little guy"
obviously BJ thought sherk was landing shots, maybe he just didnt see what some of the bj nuthuggers saw, even though he was the one getting left hooks landed on him.
for the people who though sherk wasnt landing anything in the fight, bj disagrees with you. watch the post fight interview on ufc.com for yourself.
props to BJ for a great knee.
iT WAS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT shERK WAS LANDING SOME NICE HOOKS.
I know he was landing some good shots, got to give the man props for that. He was really quick but not quick enough to do anything.
he landed probably 1 for every 4 that bj landed
Who said he wasn't landing? Of course he was landing, but few and far between. Combine the arc of a hook with his short reach and BJ keeping him at a good distance with his jabs, he's not going to land that much.
Sherk has no head movement and doesn't know how to get inside. He just swings for the fences. That's unfortunate when you have the reach of a munchkin.
There is a thing called effective strikes. None of which landed on BJ.
he was landing, but not often and not with much power. Seemed like the last half of round one and last half of round two was all BJ. Although the rest of the time they seemed to be trading very evenly. I was amazed it didn't go to the ground. Bad move on Sherk's part.
does it really matter? the guy got his ass handed to him.
