Do you think that was a "soft" work?

And people thought the Alvarez vs McGregor fight was a work...

Alvarez has decent boxing and a cool bag-of-tricks, but he gets raped by rangey counter-strikers.
The quick angles, darts, level-changes work well against someone who wants to sit in the pocket or chase him down, but do nothing against someone who hangs back and waits for him to bridge the distance to strike. In fact they are a net negative against those types of fighters.

no looks legit imo

Alvarez is the type that wants to believe he can stand with the best of them and he has traditionally counted on his miraculous wolverine like recovery abilities. didn't work this time though.

He's still relatively quick, but the other guy was bigger, stronger and faster. welcome to the way of the jungle. An aging lion getting dethroned.

he got smashed hard several times in the face.. and he should have used his wrestling ability to take the fight to the ground.

actually the end is kind of odd.. he gets tagged hard and generally your instinct is to go for the takedown, but he just stood there, waiting for the guy to finish him. Odd.

soft work is possible? I dunno.

Seems like someone with the experience of Alvarez should at least ATTEMPT a takedown after getting dazed like that.

instead he just waits there.. like hit me more.
