Max landed more strikes on Dustin in rounds 2,3 and4. Dustin rocked him in the first, but was never close to finishing him. The knee that opened him up made it look like a dominant performance. It was a razor-close fight according to the stats.He felt he won against Poirier???? Love Max but that's 48-47 Dustin at absolute worst and the 1st might've been 10-8. The only round Max clearly won was the 3rd. He got beat up badly
As far as Volk, Max could win. Credit to Volk he shut him down but he can't hurt him like Dustin. Max was turning it on later too. Rematch could definitely slide towards Max with a few adjustments specially against leg kicks which was most of Volk scoring
Max won that fight everywhere except the leg kicks. He outstruck him to the head and body. Volk just landed a crazy amount of leg kicks. If Max finds an answer to those leg kicks he wins the rematch pretty easily.I kinda agree.he didn’t have anything for him the first time.
Why doesn't Max kick much?
What's the point of having that major height advantage if you're not going to fully utilize it?
Adding some teeps to the body and more of those oblique kicks (which worked great) against Volk would work wonders. He's absolutely not beating Volk with just boxing.

Dustin was doing damage, but Max was close to finishing Dustin in the 3rd round. It was a close fight. No domination by Dustin. Dustin definitely won in my opinion, but it was close. If Max won the 5th round he would have won the fight.Not all strikes are equal. Dustins was clearly doing far more damage. The 3rd was the only clear Max round. At best u can give him the 4th as well.
I don't remember him ever rocking Max. I just remember Max having no answer to the leg kicks. Nothing at all, like he was training with Nate Diaz.Head strikes were close in a lot of rounds, and volk was landing a bit less to the head, but his punches seemed cleaner and had more behind them.
I suppose that's what seperates the great kickboxers from the good onesSome of Volks hardest strikes came off of catching and countering Max's kicks. Max was also aftay of being taken down off a kick. He's always very careful like that again guys with a big takedown threat.
