The chin DOESN'T recover. Besides it's not like his chin was feeble. He was simply outclassed by his opponents. That said another KO wouldn't help his chin.

It'd because he's had a big fall but is still working hard and trying. Many could have shy away or given up but he's still determined.

Same here. He always used to come across as arrogant. I guess it's easily done in the fight game as confidence spills over but i think now after facing adversity on his journey he seems more humble, and lets face it everyone loves an underdog

Sometimes when a fighter gets knocked out cold for the first time, they are never the same. Not talking about the chin but the way they fight. They got some kind of fear, hesitate and cant pull the trigger. Hope Darren Till is not one of them 🙏🏻

[@saitamahero2516]

Jame vick a good example

[@joesheridan9451]

Yeah and sometimes they improve. Look at vlad klitschko, used to fight too aggressive and got kod several times in the middle of his career. Switched up his style, became more defensive and then became one of the most dominant champs in history. I think till threw caution to the wind and fought way too aggressive against masvidal and so hopefully getting badly kod will have taught him to not just rely on his chin and to rely on being the elusive technician that he is.

Tills takedown defence is very good. Woodley couldn’t take him down, yes he knocked him down but didn’t take him down. Tills grappling is very good, just needs to work wrestling.

[@a3ephony654]

It’s a must win for Till really. If he uses his reach well he’ll be fine, but he tends to make quick movements backwards to avoid punch’s and kicks, rather than block or use movement in the pocket, making him open to lunging hooks. He also looks for the left down the pipe to often. People see it coming. . . If he gets tagged by Gastelum, it’s goodnight Caroline 🚕 But I hope he gets the W. He’s more than capable 💪🏻

[@rockclimbingskills]

Ace Phony if Till looses again hes finished.

[@BrainFuck10]

I like Till in this fight if he can follow Izzy's blueprint. Maintain range, batter Kelvin on the outside with kicks, pull away from Kelvin's left hand then counter with the right cross, throw combos on the inside with elbows and knees to the body, pull back with footwork and head movement whenever Kelvin attacks.

Kelvin said after the Adesanya fight that his next opponent is gonna regret taking the fight. Till really needs to come in prepared and I hope he doesn’t drop his left hand anymore. Could be a barnburner. But I don’t know if he can take Kelvins punches. Gastelum is a small middleweight but he can knock out anyone. Last two losses he had, he knocked down Weidman and he came very close to finishing Adesanya.

[@gvk87]

He thinks he is super technical, but he really loads up his punches. He punches hard, but does pull his hand back, even down before he throws. It looks great slamming pads or when he is dominant pushing forward agains cowboy. A great Striker like Woody studies him, timed him doing that (loading up), stept in and landed first. I think Gastelum could do the same thing. I dont see he really changed his style or improved. The weight cut was not the only issue in my view

[@jameshallas4125]

I’m a Till fan and imo his career goes one of two ways he finds his feet at middle weight and beats Kelvin and then becomes champ after a couple of wins or Kelvin Kos him and his UFC career is done and goes to another organisation and fights for less money I must admit he’s looking very comfortable at MW and is definitely hitting harder but Kelvin is about the worst match up for Till it should be a war I respect till not trying to get easier fights that itself is the mind of a champion 💪🏻👊🏻💯

[@jameshallas4125]
