    Gabriel thanks for the video a big part I missed was his absolutely devastating calf kicks. He landed like 2-3 and Volkanovskis calf was dead.
    Also his boxing is so good because he trains it seperately with other high level olympic boxers on top of his MMA training.

    bro he is definitely off balance OFTEN with the overhand..... But he only throws it when his opponent is trapped and terrified because they know what this dude does. On god I have seen his feet almost leave the ground throwing that strike. It is scary. Reminds me of Mike Tyson but the angles are different. Topuria is coming down while rotating, Mike was coming up most often but alot of the same principles.
    His ability to tie his punches into his footwork is something I didn't really notice outright. This is why i tune in. Thanks champ.

    Topuria’s overhand right seems very similar to the right cross of the great Joe Louis in boxing. Both fighters had insanely powerful right hands and both delayed the extension of their punch until their shoulders were fully turned over.

  • @gallosurfero
    @gallosurfero 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    When you mention the overhand, what makes topuria so powerful when he punches or hits anything, is the fact that he is flowing and moving all the time, keeping and moving a lot of energy when he just moves, his movements all the time are like a dinamo, charging batteries all the time

    Note how you bring up his foot tracking and using a narrow stance.
    Petrosyan uses a slightly narrower stance too just to get out of the way of many moves. So it works both offensively and defensively

  • @CoachClaytonMurray
    @CoachClaytonMurray 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Illia will have problems in the clinch with his style, elbows and knees. Volk had success there. But man at that weight class he is so heavy handed and well rounded. It will take a special fighter to dethrone him!

    Hey, I just had my first amateur boxing match and I lost by decision. Your video is still help me do better than I would have without them, but I've been watching the footage and learning from it and I noticed a lot of issues. The biggest issue I noticed is I got winded and tired way too quickly. So do you think it's focus on building stamina before the more technical aspects? Which as far as those go I was not relaxed enough in the ring but I was also not aggressive enough. I was looking down too much instead of at my opponent. I kept trying to go to the ropes to rest which didn't help. I wasn't using enough head movement. I wasn't throwing combinations. There was a lot of issues. Maybe I wasnt even ready for this fight. So do you think stamina is where I should start? Because I noticed I started out okay but as I got tired I just went to crap

    His stance seems very open to low kicks. Similarly to Petr Yan, who also is very boxing oriented. I wonder how he would handle them.
    BTW it is interesting that some of his matches, and even entire rounds, are basically just long range boxing. No kicks, no clinch, no takedown, no ground fight. I guess that this is going to be the finally adapted and minimalized style of MMA.

    • @Dmvgold1995
      @Dmvgold1995 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Petr Yan is a more blended fighter he doesn’t just rely on boxing so his attacks are a bit versatile and tricky. You can’t just chip away at him with low kicks and think he isn’t going retaliate with some crazy spinning shit or a flurry. And Topuria is bjj black belt and good wrestling so it wouldn’t have been any easier for volk on the ground either

    • @sentientdogma1206
      @sentientdogma1206 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      @@Dmvgold1995I think you’re dead wrong. I say Ilia is the more versatile fighter, he’s been practicing judo and jujitsu since he was a little boy. His base is judo and Brazilian jujitsu, that’s what he excelled at first. His boxing came after which is shocking because he looks expert at boxing. Petr Yan is not comfortable with wrestling, he got frustrated by aljamain sterling and got dominated by Merab. Petr doesn’t have anywhere near the wrestling pedigree that Ilia has. Look at ilia vs Bryce Mitchell, look at Ilia vs Youssef Zalal, look at fifth round Josh Emmett, his wrestling is top notch. If he was getting bothered by leg kicks he would always be able to wrestle.

      You’re trippen. I actually watch all of Gabriel’s vids and he never said anything negative about topuria. The only thing he said about that matchup was that he was going to pick volk to win like more than half of the mma community picked volk. I picked topuria to win but I saw him go under everyone’s radar for this fight.

    I just want to ask a question. Since so many “UFC experts” on youtube predicting fights, reviewing fighters, how come ppl underestimated Topuria all along? And still so many talking shit? This experts missed the point that Topuria has been wrestling since 7yo in greko-roman and has been bjj black belt since his 20th bday. Boxing he mastered just in recent years. To me he is complete package of universal fighter that is and will be a nightmare for any one years to come. Biggest mistake ppl will make is same as they have been in the past. Underestimating him without knowing him.
