How does he compare in 'draw' terms to some of the great boxers eg Mayweather , Tyson, Ali?

Also something that struck me watching the weekend fights is that love him or lothe him his fights are all dramatic and action packed. Even beyond the persona and chat I can see why people love to watch him fight.

It's hard to compare across eras. For example when Jack Johnson fought and flogged the great white hope basically the entire world was at a stand still and then there were literal riots.

See my leg, it was shattered
Now my career is in tatters

Cry against the cage

MMA fans they all titter

it's hard to verbalise what i felt watching the first tj / barao.

there were definitely people posting on these very forums who never thought barao was all that - and who rightly pointed out that barao lost the first to eddie wineland before eventually catching him. but he was still considered a very loving legit fighter and tj, having given absolutely no indication that he was on barao's level, let alone several rungs above, just absolutely annihilated him.

i guess it was like ronda / holm if you had fully bought into ronda's hype and you had no idea holm was a professional boxer, except tj spent over 20 minutes proving how out of his depth barao was. that barao got a rematch to this day astounds me. if i was the sanctioning body i'd make him submit me an essay with the aim to prove that putting him in there with tj again wouldn't be a crime against his brain. but they didn't and it happened again.

anyway it was loving rad but the man is still an absolute penis who i can't stand lol

I wasn't surprised that he got a rematch. The case was there because he got stung early and never got back into the fight.

I'm surprised that he got two rematches after loving the first one up.

i don't remember him getting stung in the first one, but i do remember being completely unsurprised when tj did the exact same thing in the rematch only slightly faster and landing the only - no poo poo, i counted - ~38 punch combination i have ever seen

and sorry but, two rematches?

answering my own question i'm pretty sure the grass is greener there isn't much funny about barao nearly literally dying trying to make weight multiple times except that people who posted here at the time made it seem funny so we could enjoy the sport rather than ruminate on its many, many, many failings.

In the first round by my count TJ hits him with 3 strong punches(not in a combo, just overall in the round), I think the first one was an uppercut, none of them seemed to bother Barao too much, and then:

I'm assuming that's in reference to the UFC 177 one.

that overhand was sick. but i wouldn't say renan 'wasn't the same after it' or whatever. he just carried on getting beaten up badly.

I can never watch that fight again. It effectively broke Lombard forever, and I'm a little surprised it didn't also break Magny forever

based entirely off of second hand accounts but enough of them to feel justified, i like seeing lombard get hurt badly.

i loved it when he came out of bellator as some sort of unstoppable force of nature and sturdy, rugged ol' tim boetsch loving beat him in his debut ufc fight that was supposed to be a gimme to get everyone all lathered up. lol.

it's really funny that aljo got the belt through no fault of his own but i wish that energy went to chael when he fought jones. if he'd just managed not to die in the first...

gently caress Weidman was incompetent. Serra Longo was trying to get him to brain damage his way to the title for years after he lost it and aljo shows him how its done instantly.
