This may have been a sensible strategy from Goncalves, but no one ever wins a Muay Thai decision by going backwards that much. Muay Thai is about staying tight and seeing who is the strongest and when in doubt, judges will always reward the aggressor. Agree or not, that is how the sport is judged and has been forever.

[@jordanw1643]

Good

[@rallzam]

mate, you can talk from your couch easily. when you stand against one of the best muay thai fighter in history of the sport, trust me, you think only about surviving and not getting kod. goncalves did the best game plan, which you should do against someone like rodtang and what the hell? he didnt run much from rodtang, he stand his ground more then once. much respect to goncalves and by the way, rodtang should get down to earth again. he is salty af.

Yep totally agree. I don’t think the game plan was totally wrong, he just needed to circle smaller, so he could counter more effectively. Every good fighter circles but when you circle so wide it can be misconstrued as running away. Muay Thai is scored so heavily on aggression and balance when fighting that Walter needed to do more to dethrone such a dominant champion.

Goncalves is always on the other side of the ring. He never takes a step towards Rodtang.

That was frustrating to watch. Goncalves constantly circling out like 15 paces away from Rotang. Reminds of the kid that would punch a bigger kid and then run away.

[@theKashConnoisseur]

The more you learn about combat sports, the more you begin to appreciate excellent displays of offense *and* defense. One of the aspects of attacking is ring generalship. If Rodtang had moved to cut off Goncalvez instead of chasing after him in a straight line, Goncalvez wouldn't have been able to keep circling out and away. By continually catching Rodtang's kicks and countering off them, Goncalvez was able to take away one of Rodtang's primary tools he uses to stop opponents from circling out. This left Rodtang more dependant on his hooks and his footwork when he wanted to stop Goncalvez from circling out, but Goncalvez had superior footwork and managed distance well. Instead of being frustrated, try and take lessons from both fighters and apply them to your own sparring sessions. Nobody ever bettered themselves by criticizing others.
