[@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.

[@hennyspiderman9974]

He can really box for an mma fighter. Looking at his mechanics, you’d think he started off as a pure boxer

[@stephenr80]

The interesting thing is that his trainer is mainly a boxer and he has recently said that he is amazed at how much Ilia has improved since the fight with Emmet. So as sharp as we looked vs Emmet he may come even better vs Alex😮

Two Climent are brothers (Agustín and Jorge) mainly focused on BJJ, and Javi Climent is his boxing coach, but he is not related with Agustín and Jorge. And Topuria started as wrestler in Georgia, then BJJ with Climent brothers. Boxing is his last discipline 😅😅

You have to worry for Volk though... He's been rocked badly by Max, and Topuria hits like a smaller Francis Ngannou.

He's 27 years old I'm not lying he's probably the most talented all around fighter I've seen in MMA I've been watching combat sports since UFC 2 in the mid-90s mind you he's already the champion 1 by knocking out the pound-for-pound in the game volk ... So God bless good luck I'm looking forward to watching his career great work champ

He's definitely not even in top 5 best all round fighters. Definitely has the potential to be an all time great though.

[@Wilsonwreckers]

Calling him a possible champ champ before he even has one belt is kinda crazy

Even worse were casuals saying Chimaev would be triple champ even before he beat a ranked opponent

[@realnatural5546]

I would’ve agreed with you as well had I not see his highlights, his previous fights were ridiculous, bro moved up to 155lbs and took out a durable and tall fighter, bro has top tier boxing and maturity, showed it especially with Emmett, def taking out Volk for sure but idk about Islam, maybe 135lbs for sure

Body shots are gonna be key with Volkanovski

[@vn5774]

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.
