[quote name='Matt Young']Point taken, but in most cases, a takedown takes more effort and the shots from Florian didn't do much damage. Maynard still won the fight, even without that round. It wasn't the most exciting bout, so I can see your frustration with it, but I'll admit that I enjoyed it more since I wanted Maynard to win.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, well, I'll admit easily that Florian's biggest weakness is his takedown defense. It's been his downfall in his fights against Sanchez, Sherk, and even against BJ Penn. But for Maynard to essentially have a strategy of doing nothing, was extremely lame.
Honestly, I thought Kenny should have just backed up, put his hands on his hips, and forced Maynard to come at him. It seemed like if Kenny didn't engage, there wouldn't have been a fight at all. Nothing like backing your way into a title shot. If he would have actually beaten Florian, I would have been impressed. But instead, it just felt like he was waiting for time to run out.
