Yea because stopping Hughes' "telegraphed" shots is so easy. I mean so many people have done. Oh wait, the only fighter that has kept Hughes standing an entire fight has been GSP. Not even BJ Penn, with his crazy ass Takedown Defense could stop Hughes from putting him on his back. Hughes has been able to takedown everyone he has fought, except GSP in their last two fights. So unless Alves suddenly delevopes GSP level takedown defense, I do not think he has much of a chance stopping one of Hughes' "telegraphed" shots.
Man, the way you talk about Hughes sometimes, it amazing Hughes has ever won a fight. Telegraphed shots, no hands, horrible BJJ, how did he win 43 fights, 2 WW titles, and defend his belts 7 times. Must of all been some kind of major fluke.
