I'm not gonna cry about the results, but I scored both figths to Sean, against Cannonier and against Dricus.
But anyway, I think he have 4 big problems in his figth style.
1 - He's a pointstyle fighter.
Unfortunately he Ins't a knockout artist and probably will never be.
Counting with the judges is just bad, you've never know how they are scoring.
2 - Lack of diversity in his strikes.
Sean's straight punches are top tier and it open a lot of paths to him, but i feel like he don't exploit them.
I think some Hooks and Uppercuts could be very beneficial to him.
3 - Lack of urgency.
Strickland have his pace, and doesn't change it, no matter how the figth was going.
He should put more aggression sometimes.
4 - parrying punches.
OK, I know its ankward saying that one of his best things is a weakness, but if you watch his figths in 0.5x you probably will agree with me.
He blocks a lot of punches, but live I think you couldn't distinguish what really lands and what he have parryed.
And how i mentioned before, he's a point style fighter.
sometimes the judge can count a blocked punch as effective strike and I can't blame them, its really hard to judge such a thing live.
I think he can have another shot winning 1 or 2 figths, let's see if he can fulfill those holes in his game.
What'd you think about ?
