I just seen the fight, wow was Frank brutal looking, his punches were slow and plodding and really looked his age..and then some. It looked like 2 broads trying to ***** slap each other. even when Frank lost to Le he looked faster and sharper then he did in this fight.
Set up maybe to pit frank and ken together? What i mean is they were told to lose for a fight between THEM. names will still command some money. Promoters dont want guys like Diaz losing. Milk out of the Shamrock name what little is left? If anything... No? yes? Im ******ed? :think
That was one year ago. Frank has basically been on the shelf ever since. I think the absence of Maurice Smith in his corner didn't help Shamrock either.
a year's not that long a time to explain the vastly different performances. don't know if it's 'getting old over night' but there was some reason that shamrock looked so harmless in the Diaz fight. I mean Diaz didn't look all that dangerous (with some of his loopy shots) and shamrocks spending most of his energy running away and throwing weak reaching punches. I gotta think some of the reason for the real bad showing is a big difference in confidence: frank had the broken arm, is another year older, different people around him, etc
