Not trying to be a hater, glad he won because it sent everyone mental but his hand striking is really not good to watch and doesn’t really seem to do any damage.
Truly.
But some of it might have to do with the stance he (deliberately?) takes, rather than incompetence. Not only does he never blade his stance, with both feet facing the same direction, he often has his hips squared and his toes facing in *opposite* directions. Like the toe of his lead foot will be facing away from his mid-line. Like he's a soccer goalie or something. It's what allows him to do those walk forward punches and helps facilitate his two-sided kicking game. But it completely torpedoes his ability to ever, 1) throw combinations or shift weight, 2) throw with his hips.
So, you're right, it's remarkably shi77y boxing. He will sometimes chain single punches. But they're never shifts of weight, they're never true combos. And he has zero power behind them.
