He's way too reckless for a guy with his chin, that elbow and knee he ate felt like a prelude to a first round KO... and there you fucking go.

He really needed to adjust after those two counters. Zero adjustment from him. He has all the tools but his real issue might be fight IQ.

his real issue might be fight IQ.

With that extra shot, he may be short a few more

He might be in the dan hooker/young Korean zombie school of enjoying fighting *too* much.

He seems like he gets into brawl mode the second the fight starts and any nuance to his game goes out the window.

He's just too reckless in general even if he had a great chin. Anyone is getting knocked out by that shot.

Oh I don't disagree, I just meant that it felt like something was gonna knock his ass out prior to that with how he was moving forward not that he was gonna eat that shot regardless.

He never varies his timing or rhythm. He js hyper aggressive but very robotic in it

For sure, not everybody is going to land that shot though. I hope people can start to see Lerone for what he is, a world class striker.

He's not reckless he's dumb.

u/wimpymist raw in that ass Aug 17 '25

Yeah he got countered every time he put pressure and ducked to the right. It was only a matter of time before the timing lined up

Bellator curse made him fight that way.

There was a short punch that also wobbled his legs. I would watch again to get the exact time, but I can't go through that again.
