It is imperative for Holland to target the legs and target them early. Not only will it be painful, but it will also reduce the mobility of the always-moving Thompson, who darts in and out of the pocket at will otherwise.
The problem here is “Wonderboy” actually fights with his hands down anyway. Instead of going straight to the cross, Holland has to actually make him fear the takedown. If he simply uses the combination in the diagram above, Holland will eat a kick or he will be swinging at air. A couple shots against the fence should do the trick. In doing so, Holland can get Thompson thinking takedown and wanting to cheat to sprawl his hips instead of leaning away.
Holland hasn’t had the greatest results as a fighter but he’s also taken some fights he shouldn’t have. His move to welterweight gives him a height advantage and a four-inch edge in reach. Thompson will want to stay long and use his kicking game to keepThompson is a switch hitter. He will fight his karate style out of both orthodox and southpaw stance. This will be something new for Holland to have to deal with. Nobody he’s fought has been able to switch quite like Thompson.
