Love it. Can we get a Slacky Film Room for Gordon's 2019 ADCC run?

First time commenting on one of your post Jack, so I'm not sure if it's bad manners to say our own ideas on the fighters you are reviewing. If so I'll delete this. Just wanted to say I think all of Tonon's stance switching is really putting him in more danger than helping him. You even said he's not doing a ton from southpaw. To me it seems like he ends up coming in square and then standing square in front of his man and relying on head movement with his hands low. Not to mention he leans back when doing head movement with his chin out. I'm afraid he's gonna get starched if he keeps doing this against someone with a bit of power. Of course I know he's growing as a striker. It's just his defense currently terrifies me.

Lovely stuff as always, Slack
