Guillard is really landing those leg kicks. Forcing Varner to stand more upright instead of his usual crouched stance in order to redistribute his weight from the lead leg to a more central position. This gives Varner less power behind his right hand.
Varner should really start kicking Guillard as well to take away the movement of Guillard.
Yeah, Melvin is completely done...he's barely a gatekeeper at this point.
His training seems to have gone completely to hell and he looks completely unfocused and undisciplined, his striking has regressed so far it's sad to watch.
It's either that or Melvin just completely lost his focus and drive, which isn't that hard to fathom when you consider he's an ultra-cocky dude that got derailed hard by Lauzon, Miller and got KTFO by Cerrone.
I think Varner squeeked that one out but I think the judges will see a close round and weigh that last minute after the break more heavily. I expect that at least one or two will give that round to Melvin.
Guillard switched to the southpaw stance for a few seconds in the second round. Don't know why he didn't try that in the 3rd round. Could have helped him to stuff a few of Varner's takedowns better.
