Far from a nut hugger, I'm a fan of both. What fights in particular demonstrate what you're saying? Genuine question, I certainly could be forgetting something.
cool beans. i feel the same. hope tony wins, but not too worried about it, other than the kabob fans going ape shit on the hype train. shit is just irritating. delusional even.
the tibau fight. he slowed in the third.
the johnson fight he was slowing. not terribly but output slowed toward the end.
and barboza fight. he was an animal but you could tell he slowed.
he could have finished him i think. but he let off the gas a little.
he is just so active and busy working his major muscle groups
that i cant imagine that he just doesn't get tired ever.
have i ever seen him gassed out? no.
it will be a great fight.
tony has the edge in cardio imo.
just the body types and work output.
do the math.
between the past injurys and missing weight and lack of quality fights over the years
i am skeptical of his cardio in the championship rounds.
