Blocking strikes isn't as hard as defending a takedown.The reward for defending a takedown is not getting taken down
Should blocking a strike give you points on the scorecard too?
What about slipping punches then? That's arguably a lot harder and certainly riskier.Blocking strikes isn't as hard as defending a takedown.
Wrong. Let Aldo string a combo together and compare that to a gassed out fighter shooting from too far outside. A good shot that is set up correctly is harder to stop than one single strike, but do you really think the current level of judging could differentiate between the two in a live fight? I certainly don't.Blocking strikes isn't as hard as defending a takedown.
I agree completely. Takedowns are for pussies anyway
