after watching that highlight video I would argue that cannelo has impeccable balance.
When I said that you're off balance, I meant that you are off balance to be able to defend any low or mid kick. As you said, he can reset very easily and smoothly, but imagine he was kicked in the legs during that period... Or how would he defend a mid roundhouse?
Also, LOL @ MT purists who say you can't effectively utilize headmovement in kickboxing, when their favorite move that they're all taught is the pullback (mechanically the worst, most exaggerated, ill-advised, overly-committed and vulnerable headmovement ever)
Edit: not even a pull-back, it's a LEANback which is the same thing but done in a worse way (worse foot placement, worse balance). The same move that got Anderson Silva KO'ed by Weidman
Hmmm... Nobody is teaching to leanback from punches in MT... You lean back at the obvious high kicks and it's a great tool to master. You make fun of "MT purist" but you use MMA to prove them/us wrong. And what Silva did, is exactly what we are against... Excessive head movement with hands down against punches.
Yeah that´s a big problem, some superstars can get out from the norm with some moves but that doesn´t mean everybody should do it.
Exactly. And because some exceptions can do it, that doesn't mean you should teach it to beginners...
