you're bagging on a fighter for being one dimensional and only working the ground game, yet Amir really only has stand up. Contradictory my friend. Ground game can be boring but its a necessary aspect

For Harris being a wrestler and Amir not having any grappling and being able to learn all those escapes is quite impressive for Amir but not so for Harris. It just proves Harris still has some grappling to be learned.

Good coaching on Forrests part too - he knew the perfect formula for Amir to win and taught him a few scrambles to make Amir effective.
You mean that he set up a GREAT SHOT without using punches or kicks? What's wrong with that?

I'm not saying Amir didn't fight great or that Forrest didn't prepare him for those situations perfectly, but I'd say Harris has some definite potential.
