Whoever told the anecdote about working in a video store in the 90's and realising that whenever a very obviously mentally retarded person walked in there was a 100% chance of them making a bee line to the wrestling section, you should know that I may have forgotten you, but your insights live on in my heart.

Team_q posted:I know it's a bad arm punch, but what exactly is wrong? Is he not timing his hips with his arms? Mistimes a weak distraction jab, and basically commits his whole body to a tepid uppercut to the body? it's disingenuous to say 'literally everything' but that is honestly what's going on. he's punching like he's doing a front lateral raise which might be the weakest possible arm punch. most of a punches power is generated in the legs and hips, and it looks like he is actually bouncing forward meaning he doesn't even have a base. defensively, it is really important to have your chin tucked to your chest to brace your neck, and it is desirable to have the hand that is not punching retracted to your face or 'chambered' so you can defend or attack again. if your style does not require your hands to be by your face at all times (see: dom cruz, tj dillashaw), then you need to have your feet in the perfect position and be completely on balance to react defensively to anything that might be coming back at you. punk is doing literally none of these things.

i'd like to reiterate that the punch punk is throwing is the most perfect invitation to the most brutal of knockouts, where the neck snaps around like a whip, their body goes completely limp, and their head bounces off the canvas, where they remain long past the time the fans are done hootin and hollerin about the sick ko and sobers everyone up with the reality that something could be seriously wrong. it might be the worst punch thrown in earnest both offensively and defensively. it's pretty much completely imperfect.

Josuke Higashikata posted:Good uppercuts are so beautiful to behold. this actually contrasts really well with punk's uppercut to demonstrate the power generated in the legs (though not so much in the defensive aspect). notice how in this one his punch lands just as his feet leave the floor on the bounce. this indicates the full force of his hips and legs are on the end of that punch. conversely, in the punk uppercut, you can watch his bounce peak while his arm is still rising, his punch connects when the rest of his body is actually going down.

for my money, the most technically perfect uppercut thrown in mma was from pickett. this is prescribed as a cure for erectile dysfunction in some countries

Kurohashi posted:Now that it's been about 20-months with that training schedule I think his chances are pretty good to compete with a springy, young 2-0 guy like Gall. As much as I enjoy making GBS threads on Punk because I don't watch pro wrestling or whatever, if he gets blown out of the water by a 2-0 guy after 2 years personal training with world class* trainers, that's insanely pathetic for both him as an individual and his camp. It will be competitive.

Alain Post posted:CM Punk says he "isn't trying to talk anyone into the building" for his fight with Gall, which I'm sure is thrilling news to UFC who signed him to do specifically that in fairness to punk, the only reason i invited a few close mates to watch me fight for the first time was so that i didn't wuss out and go scurrying out the back door. i'm trying to imagine what it must be like to have to invite a big bunch of children and often literally retarded adults who all think i'm just the loving best to come and see me get my rear end loving kicked. no matter how much you get paid, that's got to loving suck.

Keg posted:I liked when Punk gave an interview on FOX Sports and said that he would give Gall, a BJJ brown belt, problems on the ground. It's not as outrageous to say that in MMA, for example, that documentary that featured Dustin Poirier arm barring that BJJ black belt when he was only a blue belt. However good or bad punk is at this stage though I am almost positive he could not be as good as Poirier was then. So yeah it's still a stupid thing to say. Thanks for reading.

Memento posted:You'd also need bad knees and back injuries and about fifty concussions dan henderson with enough money for medical bills and coaches to work to minimize the impact of your physical limitations while emphasizing your strengths, you can be competitive with a 2-0 guy and if you can't, that's insanely embarrassing and not just for punk.
