This guy was paid by irael π
Alex was a genius
This guy didnβt say anything about that alex fight was just amazing
Sorry with all the respect if ezzy take he's breath to another level and do a lots of cardio he will beat poetan perierra in the spectacular way.
So the comentator want say EZ is the smart one and Pereira ia the power house …. Lol
great analysis thank you joe rogan
would love to see Alex throw some elbows when inside in this fight. I noticed in last fight when they were in close some of his punches were either missing or not as powerful cause they were in close together. Throwing some elbows at those distances might help him get the KO or cut or at least hurt Izzy earlier in fight this time. Have actually never seen Alex use elbows and i believe it would add a whole other dangerous element to his already lethal arsenal. Even in the ending sequence when some of the shots were missing an elbow or knee would have landed and ended the fight more quickly and definitely with no room for doubt. In any event i think itβs gonna be another technical master class from these two striking masters and i think Alex will win again by TKO/KO and earlier in fight this time, maybe round 3.
thank you for the excellent and intelligent breakdown of this technical chess match between two striking masters. Big fan of both fighters since their kickboxing days.
Excellent breakdown but i was surprised you didnβt talk more about the importance of the leg kicks/checks, specifically the one in round 5 where Alex checked Izzyβs leg kick and Izzy fell, which ultimately led to the finishing TKO sequence. Alex was slowly taking Izzyβs movement away as the fight played out not only with his leg kicks but by checking most of Izzyβs. Izzy has acknowledged this and praised Alex for it repeatedly. Thatβs a problem for Izzy because he relies so heavily on leg kicks and unless he makes that adjustment in this upcoming fight, he is likely to lose again. I was surprised he kept throwing them in round five in a fight he was winning because it helped Alex get Izzy still enough to catch in that fight ending barrage.
We not gonna talk about how most of the kicks izzy threw were fully checked by Alex and that was ultimately what made izzy lose, and theres so many important things this dude left out
Excellent breakdown! Very impressive!
This was clickbait where was the key to Alex power? all this was jockin Izzy. Sayif was a fanboi. Lame.
Adesanya has pillow hands
GG POTAN!
I belive Adesanya will beat Alex this time. Adesanya is smart and calm but alex is aggressive. All Adesanya needs to do is make him tired and out of gas then attack and finish him.
Wow. A very informative breakdown. One of the best fight analysis.
I have a feeling that Izzy will be more aggressive in this fight, especially when he has Alex hurt.
Solid breakdown guys, Alex Pereiraβs punching power is next level, the way he KOβed Sean Strickland was insane πππππ
I really think Poatan will look for money and probably will lose for points. He is aiming at fight no. 05 where he gets millions for retirement…. or he will demolish Izzy upto third round.
This breakdown is bullshit! he makes Izzy looks like a masterful striker wizard and his fight IQ is well ahead and Alex is so slow and just get lucky! with a lefthook, Guys! don't be fooled like Drake did, this is way ridicolous this is not want happened., Okay? I'll explain to you that later because i'be been following Alex Perreira's entire carreer, the time when even Plinio Cruz his coach/translator still fighting and Alex was in his corner. But first lets take a dive look with their first and second meeting in their kickboxing carreers,. Alex come with a 4 wins 1 loss record while Izzy with 24-3 record and 30-5 in the second fights where he was knockout cold in Brasil,. See Poatan was very green in their encounters just started his kickboxing while stylebender was a veteran but still managed to win and knock him out,, which many seeing Izzy winning the fight and just caught with the lefthook and nobody give props to Alex. Ok lets put a nail on the coffined lets start with 1-0 in MMA. If your doing your due diligence and watching Alex training you will know why he beat Izzy, which high tier level MMA fighters could'nt figure it out? like Robert Whittaker, Paulo Costa and the dangerous nightmare Yoel Romero wasn't able to pull the trigger., Why? why? guys! the answer is with Sean Strickland " Izzy is a half woman he doesn't want to fight, he just outpoint his opponent and run". Alex knows this, although he is a methodical calculated pressure striker and very good is setting up his counter punches and even timed his kicks, check kicks., he explained this in multiple Brazilian interviews., he we will not become a Glory doublechamp right? if Izzy is way more ahead skills right? as this Sayif Saud as saying, he should do his job right before making analysis. Alex knows deep inside that he is more skilled and posses more power than Izzy, Why? look when he says I will knock him out, he knock out Izzy in 5th round when nobody does, but this alone is not enough to beat a fighter like Izzy who is a runner. ( our 8 division champion Pacquiao, remember 8 division champion! Guys! was not able to crack this code in Mayweather who also a runner). To crack this code Alex must make Izzy commit to fight him and not outpoint him and run, making a boring fight. This is the interesting part! because its amazing how he crack the code. During the build up, Alex keep on saying to Izzy's face that he is 'Scared of him' hes fight with Canonier is boring, saying 'look at me ' even saying make sure come saturday on their face off, hes making Izzy agitated,.. his putting Izzy under his skin just to commit to fight him. Why he go as far in social media trolling him this is not Alex,.. Poatan is a humble not outspoken guy, not even know how to speak english,.. this is pure tactics guys!. The training part! if you are paying attention Alex always putting his guard down during hard sparring with big boxer guys to sharpen his counter pounching, deceiving, trick his opponent to commit ending them knocking out. Alex said this ' he invest in his gas tank because his taking risk in pressuring Izzy making him touch him " he can hurt me but i can knock him out" Mr. Saud you are wrong in saying Alex is slow and Izzy is way more ahead in striking, Alex looks slow, reacting because he is looking to counterpounch Izzy waiting to make mistakes and that mistakes by committing to fight, ( investing in gas tank, thats what Maidana did when he almost defeated Mayweather the runner). Try to look at training side by side Alex is way more faster, agile and more power than Izzy. People dont realized that Alex is more methodical, calculated and master tactician to make Izzy commit,..said Anderson Silvas trainer,. testament to that is a clip the legend Anderson Silva brought Alex on his corner giving him pointers in his fight with Izzy. If Alex can pull the trigger in the final round when he is already tired, in the rematch he can send stylebender in the hospital knowing the confidence he has, and knowing that he can overpower him if he wants to, this time no more touching straight striking.
amazing job
QUEM NAO TEM AS MANHA NAO ENTRA NAO…
Straight teps for Alex would work wonders
Izzy has definitely got this one.
Great, an Izzy fan analysing his fight, just what everybody wants to see, he demonstrating his love towards Izzy instead of analyse both sides.
Look at the way he talks about Izzy's moves and punches, etc… left it out the Alex's calf kicks and his pressure, putting Adesanya right at the gate, the desperate clynches of Izzy when Alex gets too close, i mean, the guy just did a show down of how good, beautiful and great smell Izzy has, make a proposal already! Very parcial.
Even Izzy's Jones's poke eye version he aplaudes, the guy literally putted his hands on Alex's face to block his vision, and this fan just said thats a beautiful technique, it doesnt get more parcial than that.
the meat munching was OUTRAGEOUS in this one.
8:49 He says his name correctly here, but not in the beginning..? tf
13:54 Another brutal power punch from Izzy. That legendary KO dancer power by the dancing King himself.
Alex will win again and leave no questions about it … Izzy need to move on
Props to adesanya for not giving up. Paotan is a monster
Seeing this video I think he will loose even worse next fight … I think those tricks got exposed now…And pereira will be better now in wrestling … And he knows Adesanya is afraid of Him…But this fight I think he will actually get hurt real bad….I though that Israel was kind of like Spider… But this video shows is just tricks… And his streak got too ridiculous in comparison …
All this talking and not one way for Israel to actually win because Pereira is willing to take the punishment to give it and Israel canβt handle it.
Adesanya spend the whole fight avoid the combat… what a champion …. how can you be so arrogant and spend all fight hugging your opponent… wasting the clock trying a winning for point form his trickyy hidden fast jabs, come on the puma became a cat …
Yo that final left hook was absolutely soul crushing … Literally Alex barely moved his body and with zero expression connects . FiNiSh HiM
MAD respect for Izzy .. staying up after taking all those clean shots
Great content Saud! I ask over and over again why you did not say anything about Alex trashing Izzys leg? That was the actual key to victory.
that was one of the sickest, well done breakdowns I've seen. give this man a promotion
Most useless things in MMA:
1. Gaethje's wrestling coach.
2. Conor's conditioning.
3. Brendan Fitzgerald during Sayif Saud's breakdowns.
You guys Rock as usual!!! Awesome stuff wish you had more airtime!!!
I heard izzy is calling craig jones to his camp
βOver and over againβ
Never thought id ever be watching someone just explain a fight for 48 minutes, now here i am
