He stood in well considering the opposition, but that wasn't a draw. He took a couple big shots and went down. He got back up but I wouldn't have wanted to have seen what would have happened if they hadn't stopped it.
Yeah right from the get go you could tell the physical difference was too much. Props for the courage but hopefully he'll pick his spots a little bit better.
Agreed. It’s obvious he wants to show he will do anything to stay on the lineup. But at 5’9” and giving up 50 pounds he was never in it from the start
I think Lomberg was way to eager and excited - any gameplan (to fight a taller man) was completely ignored. You can't punch what you can't reach, and Lomberg really messed up this fight and took a dangerous punch right off the chin.
Shorter guys can do well fighting, but they have to fight smarter then what we just saw. Shorter guys can have some power, range and leverage advantages, but they have none of those advantages by fighting the way we just saw Lomberg fighting.
Domi was really good at getting a hold of a jersey so taller fighters were leaning forward and off balance, stayed in very close range so any reach advantage favoured the shorter guy, and worked really hard to never get into a fight like Lomberg did. I know Domi is a rare example, but he knew exactly what he was doing.
I wasn't kidding in my earlier post....people need to leave the phones in another room and try to just enjoy the game.
I think I'm going to try this. I can't remember the last time I watched a Flames game and didn't post something in the GT as I was watching. I always have my laptop open or my ipad. It does kind of take away from the experience of watching the game a little bit, now that I think about it.
If nothing else, it will be an interesting experiment for me.
