having a stance like this, he has to be very confident. He is good that's all. having the hands always up does not mean that you are good in standing guard. Having a good defense is a combination of good eye, head and body movement, and also: attitude.
he wouldn't be lowering his hands if he was to fight soembody who can strike and isn't afraid of exchanging and getting close, lowering your hands in general are more susteptible to knockout via hands and kick combinations
he brings his guard up when the opponent is throwing strikes. if you have shitty reflexes then you should keep you hands up all the time, but if you want a different style than the average shitty mma striker then do your own thing like wicky and just be smart with it
@AudienceKiller66 Except nobody has because most lightweights dont hit that hard. If you have your hands down you know where folks are gonna aim - it just makes countering REALLY easy.
@monkeyfugginacoconut Don't let your fanboy eyes shield you from the truth. Wicky is much too explosive for Tokoro, Tokoro can't yet handle that constant unpredictable explosive pressure. Wicky is rising up! Glad I got his signature shirt from INSPIRIT before they sold out!

plus there are fighters who keep their hands down to fight. but thats to draw the other guy in and catch him at different angles he is not expecting

Tokoro receives a tremendous blow to Wicky's left knee when he was dodging the right punch.
After that big hit to the knee, Wicky, only had to accelerate action to force the referee to stop the fight

Wicky is extremely unorthodox. He keeps his chin out, and his hands down. somebody should knock him out to teach him WHY you don't do that.

Tokoro would destroy Nishiura 9 out of 10 times. Unfortunately, this was that one time he didn't.
monkeyfugginacoconut 1 year ago
@monkeyfugginacoconut no... wicky would win 7 out of 10 imo. tokoro has a bad chin and wicky hits hard. every shot that hit tokoro clean rocked him.

@KidMilly What this dude said. Hideo is the man, always fights with everything he's got, but it wasn't the best matchup for him.

@monkeyfugginacoconut yeah, he definitely wouldnt have won, he landed like what? 5 shots the entire fight, none of which did jack shit.

if wicky joined a gym in the usa, like ATT or AKA, he could easily be a champ one day.
