Second, Struve fought unlike I've seen recently. He had almost no aggression. He has one of the longest jabs and he could and should have snapped it in Hunt's face constantly, keeping him on the outside of that jab. This he manifestly failed or refused to do. Hunt has short stubby arms and Struve could have kept him at bay the whole way. Why didn't he use his range to keep Hunt at the end of that looooong jab?
That is why I was shocked at his failure to engage. He was timid and passive. Not like his usual self at all.
I give you all the respect in the world, jaykool777, and don't understand why you didn't see that lack of aggression on Struve's part. I guess we did see different fights.

Why wasn't his ******* jab in Hunt's face, keeping him on the outside? ****, Struve can kick you from across the cage! Why wasn't he engaging? Why didn't he fight like he meant it?
Struve gave the fight away and I'm damned pissed at him for refusing to fight!
Struve never even showed up last night. He stayed home in the US and mailed it in. "
You've clearly never seen a Struve fight before. he never uses his reach, he always eats hard shots from his opponents and has flat out terrible defense.
Only thing that was different., was that Struve gassed early.

Both guys fought poorly at times and made some bad decisions, but it was a good fight. I thought Hunt would get easily submitted, and although he was dominated at times on the ground his resilience and improving skill impressed me.
Maybe Struve is focusing too much on gaining mass and not enough on conditioning.

And I've seen Struve fight Lavar Johnson, Pat Barry, Roy Nelson, and some others. He is normally much more aggressive.

Still probably the best movie i have seen in the last 6 or so years. instant classic. haven't seen Hard Candy.
On topic, Struve just flat out gassed but he was more aggressive on the ground in this fight then any other once I've seen him in, it's also probably why he never got the subs.
this pretty much covers Struves problems that he showed in this fight and past ones.

Is that CT scan for real? I think many people would look "druged" if they coped a blow to the head from Mark Hunt. Struve fought like he always does. Very slow to start. Just got bashed in the head a few times, that will sure make a person feel dazed.
Respect to Struve, I like the guy and think he will be a force to be reckoned with in the future. He gave it his BEST, why wouldnt he, he wants the title like everyone else, it just was not good enough.
Hunt Vs Nelson would be a great fight.

Some people have the intensity and aggression in their arsenal some people don't, it's very hard to create it if it's not in your nature.
Plus, it may have looked like he was "letting Hunt punch him", but you're forgetting that after you get clocked by one or two Hunt punches, even if you don't go down, you might be a tad groggy, thus making you react slower and think less (about jabbing and kicking, for instance).
So could very well be that while you were screaming "JAB! JAB! JAB!!" at your TV (as I was :) ) he was seeing two Hunts and trying to guess which one of them to jab :))
