Whitaker never came close, rewatch the fight. All his punches missed except for like 2 jabs. Not only could Rob not connect, but he was over extending and getting off balance because of it constantly.Silva did alright defensively.
But he also did not attempt much offensively. (Sure, part of his style to bait for counters - but still)
I feel like Whittaker gave himself a better chance of winning. He threw several hard shots that could've landed.
Silva never seemed close to landing much and never came close to winning a round. His attempts to counter looked less dangerous than Whittaker's attempt to bum rush.
