I accept to accept that one of my admired fighters is Keith Jardine. I
just actually adore his awkward appearance of angry as it is both
arresting and dangerous. Sometimes for his opponents, and sometimes even
for Jardine himself. Now I do like Liddell, but I accept my
reservations. I anticipate that he was at one time, and still has the
abeyant to be, one of the greatest fighters in the history of the UFC.
However, he needs to get aback to business and overlook about all the
accidental distractions. Anyhow afterwards added ado let's get started.
THE COMPETITORS:
Chuck Liddell:
Liddell came into this activity not alone afterward a adverse knockout
accident to Quentin Jackson, but aswell in accident to Jackson, aswell
accident his light-heavy weight championship. I accept no agnosticism
that Liddell and his humans were searching accomplished Jardine to his
declared next activity in December adjoin Wanderlei Silva. This would
prove to be a actual big mistake.
Keith Jardine:
Jardine came into this activity afterward a adverse knockout accident to
Houston Alexander who is proving to be actually the adversary at 205.
However, if you bethink that fight, Jardine aswell came abutting to
acceptable that activity with his knockout power. If any one affair is
assertive in the activity game, is that you can never calculation out
anyone that has the adeptness to beating you out with a individual blow.
That's why they consistently alarm it a punchers chance.
Jardine came into this activity the audible underdog and I assume from a
lot of people's angle a simple dispatch bedrock or activity action for
Liddell. Boy did they end up getting wrong!
What will chase is a abundant able assay of the activity from alpha to
finish, absolute with some final thoughts apropos both fighters. Please
accumulate in apperception that these are my angle from my own angle of
the contest that transpired. They are by no agency advised to afford any
affectionate of abrogating or calumniating thoughts, words, etc. on
either one of the fighters involved. I accept a abundant accord of
account for anyone, and I do beggarly anyone, who accomplish assimilate
the mat. So, with added ado let's get started.
THE FIGHT:
Round One:
The aboriginal annular opened up with both men hasty out to accommodated
anniversary added in the centermost of the octagon breadth both men
exchanged punches none of which landed. Jardine landed the aboriginal
draft of the activity with a appropriate leg bang bang to the alfresco
of Liddell's thigh followed anon by a larboard angle to the head. This
accurate address would prove to be Jardine's greatest asset throughout
the absolute activity and would be able abundant times during the fight.
Liddell connected to axis Jardine about the octagon advancement the
centermost position while befitting Jardine on the alfresco of the
octagon. Jardine acreage addition appropriate leg bang bang to the
alfresco of Liddell's thigh but about pays dearly for it by accepting
his calmly down at the time Liddell countered the bang with a brace of
punches of his own. Fortunately for Jardine none of the punches landed
with any effect.
Liddell connected to advance Jardine several times throughout the
annular with a acute advance and a flurry of punches. Some of which
landed with no credible aftereffect on Jardine while others absent their
ambition entirely. Jardine was on top of his arresting bold for the a
lot of allotment and was quick to move whenever Liddell launched his
punching advance and that was the primary acumen that so abounding of
Liddell's punches absent their advised target, Jardine's head. During a
brace of exchanges, Jardine was even able to acreage some actually solid
adverse appropriate calmly to the arch of Liddell.
During one such exchange, Jardine threw and landed a actual solid
appropriate leg bang bang to the rib cage of Liddell, which it would
about-face out would be afresh throughout the absolute activity causing
credible accident to Liddell's larboard rib cage area. Liddell countered
this aboriginal bang to the physique by ablution addition battery of
punches adjoin Jardine banishment him to aback up and resume angry from
the alfresco bend of the octagon while Liddell controlled the centermost
area. During this exchange, Liddell managed to acreage a adequately
solid larboard angle to the arch of Jardine. However, no credible ill
furnishings were credible with Jardine.
Jardine responded to this larboard angle with addition appropriate leg
bang bang to the alfresco thigh of Liddell causing Liddell to retaliate
with addition battery of punches that affected Jardine to aback up
bright beyond the octagon. Several of Liddell's punches acreage while
Jardine acreage a solid appropriate duke to end the exchange. As the
barter of assault ended, it became bright that at atomic one of the
punches befuddled by Liddell had cut Jardine aloft his appropriate eye
that had started bleeding although not abundantly at this time.
Jardine connected to use his actual able activity of punching to
Liddell's arch followed by either a appropriate leg bang bang to the
alfresco of his advance leg thigh or to his larboard rib cage area, both
of which landed with ascendancy and would abide to do so for the blow
of the fight. Both men connected angry with a abrupt barter of punches
none of which landed. Moments afterwards Jardine would already afresh
acreage the appropriate leg bang bang to the alfresco of Liddell's
thigh.
Liddell responded to Jardine's bang with a annealed larboard jab that
briefly chock-full Jardine asleep in his tracks. This lasted alone a
atom of a additional afore Jardine countered by affective in and landing
a beautifully befuddled larboard angle to the jaw of Liddell. Liddell
for his allotment showed no credible affects from the punch. Jardine
connected his activity of "stick and move" and landed a foreground bang
to the belly of Liddell banishment him back. Afterwards during the one
minute blow period, the bang was replayed in apathetic motion and you
could see breadth Jardine had accidentally jabbed Liddell in the eye
with the pinkie feel on his larboard duke as he accomplished the
foreground kick. An adverse incident, which luckily didn't could cause
any abiding or abiding accident to Liddell.
Jardine briefly antipodal roles with Liddell and started stalking
Liddell about the ring throwing a battery of punches that absent and
even an ill attempted appropriate leg bang bang to the arch of Liddell
that concluded up missing by the accepted mile. Liddell bedeviled an
befalling to footfall in and alpha throwing punches which briefly
affected Jardine to aback up adjoin the cage afore wisely sidestepping
Liddell's advance and affective abroad from the cage and aback appear
the centermost of the octagon.
Both men connected their advance by ambit anniversary added and
exchanging punches a lot of of which end up missing but a few do acreage
for both fighters. With 10 abnormal actual in the aboriginal round,
Jardine acreage addition solid appropriate leg bang bang to the physique
and the annular ends with both men punching.
Round Two:
This annular started out already afresh with both men affair in the
centermost of the octagon breadth they proceeded to barter punches none
of which landed. Jardine attempted his aboriginal appropriate leg bang
bang of the annular alone to accept it blocked by Liddell.
For the next 30 seconds, Liddell and Jardine stalked anniversary added
about the octagon occasionally throwing a few punches. All of a abrupt
Jardine threw and landed a appropriate leg bang bang to the rib cage of
Liddell. This bang like the added bliss so far didn't assume to accept
abundant of an aftereffect on Liddell. However, a few abnormal
afterwards Jardine would acreage a actual harder overhand appropriate
that landed even on the jaw of Liddell and alone him anon to the ground.
Jardine rushed in to yield advantage of the situation, but Liddell
managed to achieve his continuing position just as Jardine landed a knee
bang to the chest of Liddell.
Both men connected to do activity exchanging punches while Jardine was
able to acreage addition appropriate leg bang bang to Liddell's rib
cage, which by now was assuming signs of abscess and bloom about the
appulse area. Jardine now took ascendancy of the centermost of the
octagon and affected Liddell to activity forth the alfresco edge.
Jardine connected his actual able punch-kick aggregate which accustomed
him to acreage a appropriate accessible followed by a bang to the
alfresco of the thigh, as able-bodied as, addition bang bang to the rib
cage.
In the amount of the next few second, Jardine would acreage two added
appropriate leg bang bliss to the alfresco of Liddell's advance leg
thigh. Liddell answered aback with a battery of punches to Jardine's
head, some of which landed and acquired the cuts aloft his eyes to
accessible up and drain added profusely. Although not abundant to
accident a abeyance of the fight. At the end of the battery of punches,
Liddell attempted a appropriate leg bang bang to the arch of Jardine
that absent its advised ambition and instead addled Jardine's larboard
arm.
With 1 minute and 37 abnormal larboard in the round, Jardine slipped on
the canvas and went briefly down to the ground. Liddell attempted to
capitalize aloft this with a battery of looping punches and a knee bang
that seemed to accept actually no aftereffect whatsoever on Jardine.
Liddell even attempted a spinning backfist at the end of the barter but
had misjudged the ambit and addled the ancillary of Jardine's arch with
the aback of his high arm in the triceps area.
Jardine continues to finer acreage his bliss with two added appropriate
leg bang bliss to the thigh of Liddell and one added to the body.
Jardine is acutely beat and bleeding abundant added abundantly from his
facial cuts about amid through this annular and has aswell been
accepting a addiction to accumulate his calmly down low rather than
accepting them up to assure his head.
Round Three:
Jardine opened up this annular with a appropriate leg bang bang to the
alfresco of Liddell's thigh followed anon by a larboard angle to the
head. Both of which landed solidly. A few moments later, Jardine landed a
additional appropriate leg bang bang to the thigh. Liddell connected to
columnist his advance with a alternation of punches to which Jardine
responded with yet addition appropriate leg bang bang to the thigh.
Both men connected the activity by ambit anniversary added with Liddell
accepting the high duke briefly by landing a solid beeline appropriate
hand. Jardine attempted to acreage addition foreground bang to the belly
but had misjudged the ambit and alarmingly overextended himself.
Fortunately for Jardine, Liddell didn't apprehension or bootless to
capitalize aloft this mistake. Abnormal afterwards Jardine landed
addition appropriate leg bang bang to the thigh which he anon followed
with addition and afresh a beeline larboard duke to the jaw. All of
which landed adequately solid.
Jardine proceeded to bead his calmly and draw Liddell in breadth he was
the almsman of yet addition Jardine beeline larboard to the jaw followed
by yet addition appropriate leg bang bang to the thigh, which was
followed simple moments afterwards by a additional appropriate leg bang
kick. This time to the rib cage.
Jardine continues the activity by landing addition appropriate leg bang
bang to the thigh in which Liddell anon retaliates with a punching
advance that for the a lot of allotment Jardine seemed to avoid. Jardine
acreage addition appropriate leg bang bang to the thigh and attempts a
additional bang that ends up getting blocked. Not to be dismayed,
Jardine acreage a larboard angle to the head. Liddell responds to the
larboard angle by landing his own beeline left.
Jardine continues to acreage the appropriate leg bang bang to the thigh
followed by addition larboard angle to the head. Jardine continues his
absorbing combinations by landing a appropriate leg bang bang to the
thigh followed moments afterwards by an overhand appropriate afresh
addition bang bang to the thigh and yet afresh addition larboard angle
to the head. Jardine acreage a additional larboard angle to the arch
just abnormal afterwards as he moves in and delivers it with about
absolute timing and technique. Liddell responds to this advance with a
solid appropriate duke to the body.
Both me accomplishment the activity throwing punches and bliss with
Jardine landing three added appropriate leg bang bliss to the alfresco
of the thigh. Liddell ends the activity with a ailing befuddled axis
aback bang that Jardine calmly avoids.
Now according to the judges, and we all apperceive how that can
about-face out, Jardine won a breach accommodation over Liddell with 2
board scoring it 29-28 Jardine, and one adjudicator scoring it 29-28
Liddell. Personally I anticipate it should accept been a accepted
accommodation for Jardine who although not accepting the prettiest
techniques in the octagon, absolutely did a admirable job that night.
MY RECOMMENDATIONS:
Here are my thoughts on how anniversary fighter could advance aloft their corresponding abilities apropos this accurate fight.
Liddell:
1. Aboriginal and Foremost: Get rid of the championship attitude and
lifestyle! Go aback to getting just addition fighter that is athirst
with an clamorous admiration to abort your opponents and yield aback the
title.
2. You apperceive how to kick, so why weren't you blame adjoin Jardine?
There wasn't abundant adventitious of this activity traveling to the
arena so why didn't you use the accoutrement you accept at your
disposal?
3. Don't attending accomplished anyone! This should be as apparent and as accessible as the adenoids on your face.
Jardine:
His activity for this accurate activity was about flawless. However, actuality are a brace of things that I noticed.
1. Accumulate your calmly up if you are blame to assure your head.
2. Abundant bang kicks, however, advance a little added technically
actual bliss in adjustment to access their adeptness even more.
3. Don't bang to the arch unless the adversary is already arresting
abashed or afterwards you accept set them up for the arch bang first.
Don't decay time, energy, or the technique.
4. Although your punching appearance is a bit unorthodox, it is actual
able and would be even added so if you just anchored up your punches a
bit more.
5. A brace of times in the activity if you had befuddled a larboard leg
bang bang to the arch afterwards throwing the appropriate leg-left angle
combo, you could accept hit Liddell absolutely in the head.
FINALTHOUGHTS:
Where does Liddell go from here? Well, if he gets his arch calm and gets
rid of the bedrock brilliant attitude and lifestyle, he could achieve
his appellation although it isn't traveling to be an simple alley as he
needs to plan his way aback up into altercation with at atomic three
acceptable fights afore he should be accustomed a appellation shot. Who
should he go up against? The aboriginal bout should be adjoin Houston
Alexander, afresh Forrest Griffin, followed by Dan Henderson or
Wanderlei Silva.
Jardine should chase forth the aforementioned aisle as Liddell as far as
the fights go and accept at atomic three added acceptable fights afore
even because traveling up for a appellation shot. Who should he go up
against? I would like to see a rematch with Houston Alexander, a bout
with Forrest Griffin, and a bout adjoin Wanderlei Silva afore a
appellation attempt is even considered.
