TraditionalKarate_Stylist ("TKS")@ Dr. HotNonPorn re 'Suggested Answer to Machida's Loss.'

@ Dr. HotNonPorn concering what Machida could have done differently.

TKS: You are the only commentor on the 'net I have seen who has suggested striking alternative(s) @ that brief encounter where Lyoto Machida was KO'd.

Would your suggestions worked? Don't know. But what was plain--the standard Machida karate straight-left was well prepared for by Shogun Rua in preparing for this fight.

Your comment shows that it isn't specifically a MMA coach, martial artist, or sports-fighter person who can find the right alternatives, it's the thorough, sophisticated thinker.

Thanks for your kind comment : I am humbled. Simply, I'm merely a student of the game, who writes down what I observe and think.

While the major remastering process (and other operations duties) that I'm putting my website is making me very busy, I'll do my best to fill in when time allows.

In the meantime, check out some of my other pieces :

1. The Rivalry Without Swords
(Vazquez-Marquez IV pre-fight)

2. All he saw were shadows
(Mayweather-Mosley post-fight)

3. The Business of a Beatdown
(Aldo-Faber post-fight)

Whether it's metaphorically, analytically or narratively, I try my best to bring a refreshing element to every piece I produce.

Enjoy.

TraditionalKarate_Stylist ("TKS") on, "We Must Learn | SCRIPT FIGHTING;" RE Shogun Rua's KO of Lyoto Machida @ UFC 113.

@Dr-HotNoPorn:

TKS has seen reviews & analyses in greater detail, as well as some good & generally insightful articles on the loss by Machida to Rua, particularly about the now infamous knockout. From my traditionalist karate perch, your critique is the best, straight-shot @ capturing how Rua simply outfought Machida and the resulting KO. The clip (you reference) of Rua over Jackson @ PRIDE is my all-time favorite MMA video.

As a karate stylist, TKS is partial to Lyoto Machida and his Shotokan Karate, naturally. The truth be told though from a full-contact fighting standpoint, Rua's Muay Thai kickboxing (boxing) was simply too much for Machida. I too, was concerned that Machida would lose the rematch.

TKS likes to say that between the boxer and the karate fighter, the boxer WINS EVERYTIME! There is one, special exception; and Lyoto Machida didn't do it @ UFC 113.

TKS thinks the author (or Dr.?) here would make a superb MMA coach or trainer. This critique gives solid, understandable input on the failure of Lyoto Machida to fight Shogun Rua effectively.

TKS closes by saying that boxing-type answers or scripts are not the 'special exception' TKS is talking about. Good Luck with, and TKS looks forward to your next 'Script Fighting' Lesson.

Great critique!
