Arlovskis fatal flaw

The match started out good for arlovski as he was moving around keeping his chin down and landing some good body shots. He hit sylvia with a pretty good right then a little aafter that ;leveled big tim. Tim showed great composure by getting back up after the knockdown. It appeared alovski thought sylvia was more hurt then he actually was and charged in wrecklessly. When someone like arlovski(chin wise) comes forward with velocity and gets hit by a 250 plus pounder they are going down. Tim then proceeded by pounding away to victory. Arlocskis fatal error was wrecklessly chaarging in. He lost his stance and his chin wasn;t down and sylvia capatalized on it.

I believe arlovski will learn from his error and come back better.

My thoughts on how arlovski vs sylvia 3 will go.

I see arlovski even moving around more in this one trying to get inside sylvias reach. He will have his chin down and hands up just like their second encounter. Now i believe arlovski is the better boxer and quicker of the two, so i see him landing another big shot before sylvia can hit him. If its not enoough to put sylvia out he will probablly get back up again just like in the second fight, Now this is where arlovski reacts differently from what just happened. I see him keeping his composure and stance, and coming in with a jab combo. I see him eventually tagging the stunned sylvia again and this time being aable to finish.

Damn that was long.
Just my two cents.

I don't see him (Arlovski) hesitating after he knows down Sylvia in Arlovski - Sylvia 3. Alot of people give fighters grief for hitting opponents after the opponent is knocked down and near out, but then you have so many cases like this where the knocked down fighter isn't out yet and has enough time to recuperate.

He didnt hesitate, sylvia just wasnt hurt bad enough for arlovski to finish him. The main porblem was after sylvia got up arlovski wrecklessly flew in. Thats what i see changing in their third encounter.

He didn't immediately pounce (like one would assume a pitbull would!).

I was shocked that Arlovski didn't try to defend himself when he went down. He basically threw in the towel. When Sylvia got rocked he was on his back kicking with his feet really trying to hang in there.

The difference in this fight was heart.

He got punched in the face, which tends to happen in a fight.
