Last night, while watching Johnnie Walker fight in a losing effort, I thought to myself how much better he'd fair if he used his attributes:
Height: 6'6
Reach: 82 inch,
likely has the longest legs in the division, explosive/athletic etc.
With these he could fight more intelligently and more conventionally. It'd certainly help protect his suspect chin.
If he used his very long reach to keep his opponent at the end of his fists and feet he'd be a difficult matchup for many in the division and could give Jones a tough night.
Unfortunately, the guy fights like a wild man with little fundamentals from what I've seen(not shitting on him, just being real about what I've seen from him). You'd think training at Tri Star he'd have learned to fight more intelligently behind a jab and use counter wrestling and footwork, but alas.
What other fighters would you like see change their styles to hopefully have more success and consistency?
