"The Crow"!!!

What the heck is up with "The Crow" I mean ever sense his loss to Rich Franklin he has been fighting completely timmid. Has the guy lost heart or what, this reminds me of Vitor Belfort all over again??? And that just makes me feel disapointed in a loss of lots of potential talent for our sport.

I thought he was a definite force up until the franklin fight. Not even after he lost though. He came out that day fighting southpaw and not really trying anything.
He's lost his heart

I couldnt believe how he was acting, it was like he didnt even want to be there. Just like the fight with Swick he didnt even try to do anything until the last couple of minutes. He obviously is mentally broke down.

yea before the 3rd when his cournerman was talking to him, he wouldnt even look at him just down at his feet. franklin took his heart

I was thinking about starting the same thread. Not taking anything away from his last two opponents but it the fights would have been way different if he brought his A game. Villasenor looked good but I partly think its just because david made him look good.

This sucks...I wonder if something happened in is Personal life because it is strange that he would be so Psychologically affected by the Franklin loss.

Maybe he should take a break for a year and collect himself, he is only 27 years old. 3 losses in a row hurts.

yea i agree that i think the crow just lost the heart after the franklin fight....he was a force then that fight just derailed him

He looked scared. He was trying to be aggressive in the final round but all he did was some kicks. He didnt close the distance to throw his punches and elbows. He always wanted to have that "safe" distance so he kept going for kicks and none of tem were quick or fast enough to land. He definitely broke down mentally. It could just be he is thinking too much and not let his fighting nature go. Who knows? Maybe he needs to take a break and work his way back later. He is only 27 afterall.

Loiseau will be fine in the longrun. He is only 27 years old, he has a lot of time left in his career. He just needs to regain his confidence. But how?

Well, I am glad that you asked. The Crow is going to pull a Rocky. Just like The Italian Stallion sought help from his enemy, Apollo Creed, so too will The Crow. It is likely that he will follow the lead of his good friend GSP and start training with the camp of the man who just whooped his ass. Joey Villasenor is a Greg Jackson fighter. Since GSP started training with Greg Jackson, he has become a more explosive and dangerous fighter. The Crow will train with the Albequerque camp and find his way back to the top.

Yeah you'd think a fight like the one he had with Franklin would of toughened him up but I have to agree he looks like he doesn't wanna get hit anymore

Villasenor just came to fight thats all he wasn't doing nothin special except taking the fight to Loiseau

very disappointed...
