    :good Well said!!

    He's been fighting a long time, so the fact that he is "Feeling it" at such a (Relatively) young age should be of no surprise to anyone.

    As usual Beebs, you make some good points. And, as you rightly say, his future health is something that should be of concern.

    Whilst I appreciate your definition of "Shot" imo his performance against Cain merely confirmed my suspicion that the guy is "Shot".

    His all-round movement was worryingly slow and he seemed reluctant to "Throw", classic symptoms of a "Shot" fighter.

    I guess it could be that Velasquez is just that good!! Time will tell, but until I see evidence to the contrary I am sticking to my current opinion!!

    It is almost painful to write this (Having been a huge admirer of this wonderful fighter for a long time) and it is certainly not my place to "Retire" a legend, but, based on his UFC performances, I hope his fighting career is at an end, sooner rather than later.
