His striking did look underdeveloped, but this is only his second fight. I remember all that time ago, about 18 months now? When Brock came out, swinging for the fences in his second fight. We all know how that ended. And then we saw his striking against Heath Herring.

He looked more confident with them further into the fight. I think he can take these preliminary fights of his career right now and probably get by on his size and wrestling. As long as he is improving, ready for the big leagues, I don't see that fight being more than a step in the right direction.
