Re: Snapshot of the Day
I don't think so -- if you watch closely you can see Silva bobbing and weaving and making Liddell miss lots of punches. Could certainly have made more use of his kicks but I think he recognized that he wouldn't be able to clinch with Liddell and did a good job of drawing Chuck in where he could catch him with those hooks.
Re: Snapshot of the Day
I think this is absolutely correct. He wanted to draw Chuck in and to some extent it worked. The problem is that it gave Liddell enough time to set up angles and pick his shots.
Re: Snapshot of the Day
I think in a couple years Wanderlei will be able to bob and weave AND throw leg kicks but it's a very different fighting skill and he obviously worked very very hard upgrading his boxing for this fight.
Also Chuck is very dangerous -- his re-incorporation of takedowns in his arsenal was enough to put him out of Wanderlei's reach.
