I don't know who else could replicate a fight like that against Merab other than Yan. maybe Umar but his striking isn't as tight offensively or defensively. I've seen people online saying "Merab's been figured out" but that's just people being dumb on the Internet like usual. on a side note, Buster Douglas's mother died before his huge upset in the Tyson fight back in the day. I agree with Zane though that it's detrimental much more often than not.
