Holy shit. Okay, so Cung Le just doesn't die. The total punishment he received from Anderson over this fight was INSANE. Double any KOed fighter on this card (in terms of damage recieved before getting KOed). He also seems to have an amazing ability to neutralize the attacks of super fighters. Anderson was able to do very little damage in the first round. Cung did little as well, but shutting down a beast like Anderson for a whole round, and THEN getting the shit kicked out of you for 3 more before finally dying is an impressive feat. Cung's team might want to focus on aggression or quality of attacks to help balance his chin-from-hell.

Holy shit. Okay, so Cung Le just doesn't die. The total punishment he received from Anderson over this fight was INSANE. Double any KOed fighter on this card (in terms of damage recieved before getting KOed). He also seems to have an amazing ability to neutralize the attacks of super fighters. Anderson was able to do very little damage in the first round. Cung did little as well, but shutting down a beast like Anderson for a whole round, and THEN getting the shit kicked out of you for 3 more before finally dying is an impressive feat. Cung's team might want to focus on aggression or quality of attacks to help balance his chin-from-hell.
