Tai is only 28, too. He's just entering his prime. If he keeps improving his takedown defense and his ability to get up, he's gonna be a real problem. Tai Tuivasa from a few years ago wouldn't have been able to get up with Lewis' heavy ass on top of him throwing bombs. In a couple more years, he may be a real problem for people to hold down. He seemed strong as fuck in the clinch against Derrick, who is known for being a really strong dude.

These guys asking questions are so far removed from this sport at its core, its laughable. Continuing to ask him questions about how much of a lovable, fat beer shoe drinking goof he is, and if he is somehow surprised about the outcome and going on and on about the dumbest shit is an insult to these fighters. They cannot seem to understand that even if he is a lovable goof at times, it never takes away from his vision, his preparation and just how serious he takes his career. They have assigned him this role he clearly does not fully subscribe to and you can tell he is trying to change that narrative they created for him.

I absolutely love Tuivasa. Love his heart. His ferocity. His power. But now that he’s with the top 5, which he should be now, he’s going to need to tighten his game up. He’s been matched with brawlers. Once he starts fighting the likes of Gane, Stipe, Volkov, fighters who take time, are methodical, he may have some issues. Unless he can close distance, and drag them into his territory. Once Tai gets in close, he gets fighters to play his game, which is straight out slugfests. Wild exchanges. And he normally gets the better of those. He has devastating power.

Tai is a fucking beast i ask myself how he just ate those right hands like it was nothing and then go at Derrick and knock him out like that made my girlfriend and my friends all go crazy we woke up the whole neighbourhood. Tai knew how to go in someone’s hometown and make everyone a fan.I am so proud of your Aussie🇦🇺

He came from a bad area & fighting in the streets to becoming an awesome entertainer & now one of my favourite fighters to watch Tells it how it is & just pure rawness … Just like Tyson was … should be making more money for what he’s doing in the sport .. NEW CONTRACT COMING FOR SURE I HOPE … hope he knocks Francis out cold Tai will be the New heavyweight champ WITHIN TWO YEARS

To all those saying derek Lewis should retire, why because it was a heavy KO? Both guys and everyone else knew that fight was not going the distance. Both tai and derek have the heaviest hands outside of ngannou in the heavyweight division. Lewis is still a top level heavyweight and would beat 6 or 7 out of 10 of the top 10, Tai is just on an absolute tear and has a chin of steel

Well said. Destroys blades. Loses to gane, destroys dawkus. Gets caught by Tai ko. People are idiots. Great fight, look for Derrick to do what he does best again
@donaloneill3703 2 жыл бұрын
@@dicksuekkerre4326 yes mate couldn’t agree more, the gane KO was never questioned, because it wasn’t as heavy a KO rather a precise striking clinic compared to Tais. But to say he should retire is madness. Tai caught him on the jaw and it was lights out, it’s not like he was absolutely completely smashed and needed medical attention he was conscious again within seconds😂 people literally don’t know the game, it’s not boxing in mma literally anything can happen it’s just part of the game, if mma was like that there’d be very few fighters still active lol
