candy makes a good point swede. we're not talking about a big bodybuilder here who would run out of steam within the first 30 secs. we are talking about a guy that throws around insane weights and keeps going. farmers walk, deadlifting vans etc is not for girls !
Look at his sparring video though, he gasses within 2 min... and thats pure boxing no wrestling..
sure the dude is massive and strong, and due to that, he will run over alot of people, but if they can survive the first min , I think marious is Done, IF he doesn't change his strategy..
put him against shane carwin or someone like that that is about the same size and can box and you will see what I mean.
He might become good though, but to say NOW that he CAN become the best in the world, words cannot describe how retarded that is..
he doesn't seem to know how to box, no teqnucue in kicks, hands down by the waist when he kicks (a high kick would KO him) he has No wrestling skills at all, (brock doesn't have sub skills but he can keep and take ANYONE down because of his wrestling background) marious has none of that, sure he could lay on someone, but a wrestler would just stand right back up.
so if a big dude like mir takes him down, hes getting submitted within the first min...
Sure he can power out of submission the first 30 sec maby, but judging by his sparring video, then he will gass, and be unable to just power out and then get submitted.
I have a feeling they will put him against a few cans though to build the hype.
hopefully next time he shows a bit better teqnicue and I give him his props.
No doubt he hit him hard on the ground, but he needs to get better and focus on getting better if he wants to become good.
Strenght only takes you so far.
