It was just a bad fight. Kongo is such a frustrating fighter to watch, occasionally you can see flashes of excellence, but there's no consistency. If anything, he's got worse since the loss to Mir.
I never thought he was great, I think he could be pretty good.. He doesn't seem to have his head screwed on right. Whole first round he just had this big ass grin on his face.. He needs to go in there and execute.
The worst part about both Kongo and Mitrione is that they can't fight a ****ing lick off of the backfoot. Whoever was coming forward was winning but both were concerned about their Fragile Glass Mandibles being shattered so they fought in spurts. Mitrione is on the Prospect Glass Jaw AND Glass Body list after that disgraceful performance. Hopefully this next bout makes up for a night of abso****inglutely tepid bouts.
