Lawler is one of my favorites, but i think his main problem is that he gets too emotionally charged for his fights.
The very same second that Tanner tapped him, he helps him up like he was just happy that the adrenaline rush and anticipation of the fight was over. He gets too emotionally charged for this shit, he seems to have the Belfort syndrome. Seems to me like a mental case
Its unfortunate because i think that he would have murdered Tanner if he had kept it on the feet. Tanner has a big head and jaw for a target, a glass jaw as well, and Lawler hits very hard.
-the first one Phil was murdering him and they checked for a cut saving his ass
-the second one i give props to Evan for surviving Phil's onslaught but he looked sloppy as hell, Evan was doing full 360's it was hilarious! he was spinning around throwing sloppy garbage, playing it safe going in and out (and in all fairness Phil didn't look himself that night)
anyhow Tanners standup isn't his strongpoint and everyone knows it so don't try and argue that, his strength is the position he gets guys in to finish them with elbows on the ground, it always has been his strongpoint along with some subs
everytime he gets into it with a standup guy, win or lose he has had a nightmare of a fight, so it sounds stupid on YOUR part pal to say that Lawler feared his standup
please dont try and "sharpen" me your the one who doesnt know what hes talking about
Awesome!!! Curtis Coleman trains my kid! He was Mo Smith's training partner for YEARS.....AND, he has been a sparing partner for lots of pro boxers and has trained pro boxers for years, he is awesome!
I agree, Robbie took Evan down as he had no answer for Evan's standup, he knew he couldn't beat Evan standing (just my thoughts anyway)
I said Phil WAS murdering Evan, i am well aware that Tanner won, but unanswered knees? is that how your defending Evan? he clinched Phil and threw some knees to the body and Phil did indeed answer with punches and prior to that rocked Tanner several times to the point that the ref had to step in and let the doctor check him out
i am not favoring anyone, i am replaying what happened
Tanner fights smart so he doesnt get KO'ed but when he takes a shot he starts wobbling all over,tanner does have a glass jaw but he never stands and trades with people so it doesnt matter has much.
