[@jackmajor3466]

The way he surfs his opponent in scrambles is so aesthetically pleasing

[@Santiagoacph]

He’s so damn technical. In boxing he’s getting better and better every fight. He was scary quick in emmet fight. I expect him to look even better this fight.

[@Santiagoacph]

And now he’s going against Max. Topuria has that Josh Emmet type of power + excellent boxing and fight IQ. Max absorbs so many punches, everybody hit him. Aldo hit him, Yair hit him, Ortega in round 3, Gaethje knocked him down, Poirier almost knocked him out, Volk hit him all night. Topuria is a better boxer and has more power (1 punch KO) than any of these guys. What is going to happen when Max get constantly tagged? Good chins can only last so far. I love Max but this is a nightmare match up for him cause Topuria has amazing cardio as well. Ilia by KO or TKO.

Don't forget about the kicks. Topuria likes to sit down on his punches a bit too much, and if Volk can exploit that by disrupting his rhythm and taking away his base with well-timed feints and kicks, he'll be in for a long night.

[@rishabhrai1157]

Backshots too

[@jmz2144]

Initating grappling to change the boxing tempo

[@fernandoish9194]

@@vn5774 I agree. He was susceptible to Emmets leg kicks. The american didn’t capitalise on it though, and only landed a few (which is understandable taking into account he was getting his face busted). I think Volkanovski and his team have definitely noticed and will try to take advantage of it, but we also saw holes in Topuria’s boxing and cardio in the Bryce fight and he solved them all for Emmet. He might show up with an efficient leg kick checking game. I think he really has a good chance of knocking Volk out (or at least hurting him bad enough to find a finish) with his hands. Alex has been dropped in most of his recent fights (Islam knocked him down in both fights, Max did, Yair did and even Ortega), and Topuria hits harder than any of them. His boxing defence also seemed very polished against Emmet. It’s going to be a banger.

Topuria is very well rounded and powerful in the striking, a physical beast, but he is there to be hit though, something that a smart champion like Volk can definitely take advantage of.

[@enmitynz4613]

He also throws very ordinary orthodox 3 piece combos at every opportunity. throwing in threes like he always does is a dangerous thing to do against a guy with footwork and counterstriking like Volk has. Ilia looks amazing beating on guys who are stuck in the mud - I just don't see him being a huge problem for the undefeated at featherweight champ. I have to lean on the champion experience and consistant top level opponents for this one. Ilia is in over his head with Volk.
