Im not arguing that he isnt, but that hit only had power from the rotation, there was no further extention / contraction. Im not saying his strike wasnt hard, what Im saying is Liddell usually shruggs hits way way better than he has been. I need no further examples of said power, that wasnt in question. That hit that sealed it, was among other strikes, I know. The hook did land behind the ear, so that magnifies the impact... All Im saying, is that hit did not seem to have what I thought it would take, to take Liddell down.... ok yea, just making sure that made sense. Liddell is loosing it. Well, it was a Fedor like left hook. Curving the fist inward and hitting with the index and middle knuckle is very powerful. As far as extension go's I think Shogun nailed it, he got full reach and was able to explode inwards fast. It was also a counter shot: The ones you don't see coming tend to hurt you the worse. Also, the punch did not land behind the ear, landed more on the cheek/face area. Maybe 5 years Ice chucky may have recovered, one thing is for certain though, he was not facing the caliber of fighters he is facing today.
