    I don't think we saw the best of Matthew Hall in this short fight, because he was clearly far too heavy handed for Pryce.

    When he gets inside he can do some outstanding bodywork. His hooks to the body are brutal, he works angles beautifully. Against a more durable opponent he will show it as the fight progresses, now he has a title he should get better opposition.

    I think defensively he does a pretty good job in keeping his guard nice and high. He just needs to work on footwork a little bit. I know his style is economical and he likes to just walk em down, but an injection of speed every now and again, even to just surprise his opponent would be good. Otherwise if he faces somebody really slick and fast he might have trouble pinning them down.

    I agree. Footwork needs some work and I would like to see him jab his way in a little more to stop taking unnecessary shots when he works to get inside.

    I just am so impressed with him. When I got the PPV it was like an added bonus. Never saw him before. I really liked the guy.. also great interview after. He seems to have the whole package for promotion. I hope to see alot more
