Darren Till vs Stephen Thompson: 5 Talking points

#3 Control of distance

Cowboy Cerrone v Darren Till.

Both Wonderboy and Till are great at managing distance and range but Till has the reach advantage.

Till is slightly better at it and retreats backs to a safe distance after closing the distance, he is also quick to follow up with shots after connecting or if there's an opening.

Wonderboy thrives at outside fighting and is known for his excellent use of sneaky kicks from long range and is never in a range to be hit.

Whereas Till operates in the medium range somewhere around where Muay Thai fighters and a few boxers fight.

If the game remains outside range, wonderboy should have the advantage. But Till being a better boxer will try to keep it in the pocket and try to slip and counter where he has the advantage.

The best scenario for Till is to close the distance and keep wonderboy pressed against the cage and pick him apart.

If he succeeds to keep him wonderboy against the cage he has a good chance of finishing him, but wonderboy constantly move and change angles inside the octagon and it's going to be difficult for Till to keep him near the cage.
