Ankalaev Upsets Everyone By Fighting Pereira Much Better than Expected (Jack Slack Podcast 211)
Comments (10)
Think Jack completely glossed over the clinch humping Ank did in 4 & 5 to win the fight. The whole reason people were pissed about the fight was his just stalling in the clinch the last two rounds...Very Jones-esque. Rounds 1-3 were great. Rounds 4-5 could be watched at x3 speed with absolutely nothing lost cause 60% of those rounds were Ank stalling in with cage control in the clinch. Seriously...I challenge anyone to go back and watch those two rounds in real time vs x3 and tell me anything was lost watching it faster. Just a total crap ending to a fight that could have been great. It was less offensive than Jones-Reyes because it was way more competitive through 3, but essentially identical in those last two rounds. There's a lot of TWood in Ankalaev in that he fights loose and fun when he's facing a guy he's clearly outclassing but then goes boring conservative when he's facing anyone who presents a particular challenge to him, hence the hate.
The Monkey D. Luffy of praising Mauricio Ruffy
Had a nightmare trying to explain to a mate that Ank is both a great fighter and a boring one that I don’t want to watch. Also, maybe not the place but Jack can you suggest any leg lock tutorials or instructionals for somebody who hasn’t a clue about attacking or defending them? My grappling has improved loads but once the legs get involved I’m basically fucked
I’m glad Slacky enjoyed this fight. I was really unenthused and kinda bored during most of it. Handfighting can get so interesting for so long.
God that intro pun is incredible!!!
Has Slacky ever explained why he chose Jack Slack as his moniker/pen name? In Slacky's own words, the real Jack Slack damaged the sport of boxing in its early days.
