“Merab, nice cardio. Nice strain. Nice fighter, however one gap in his recreation that we have seen again and again is he will get caught. He will get caught,” Holloway mentioned. “He will get caught early. It is virtually like he will get caught early after which he activates and it is a battle. He mentioned he must get woken up. He will get caught. He will get woken up and eventually activates and the gears begin working and all the things begins flowing and he will get after it.”
“But when there’s one man in your guys’ division, within the bantamweight division, you don’t want to get caught by it’s Sean,” Holloway continued. “Numerous guys tease Sean about how he is skinny and lanky and lengthy and appears brittle, blah, blah, blah. ‘He seems like this. He dyes his hair.’ That is simply who he’s. That is simply how he’s. That is how he carries himself, however you cannot take away that this man can battle.
“This man can crack. He knocks out individuals. He lands. He is a sharpshooter and my perception on this battle – lots of people have been asking me to see who I choose – I am going Sean, man. No disrespect to Merab. Merab is nice. He is good in all places. He is nice in all places, good rise up, nice cardio, good grappling, good wrestling. However in case you do the errors, in case you get caught clear by Sean and Sean is aware of you are damage, he’ll discover one other shot to place you down. That is simply it.”
