Is Tim Sylvia, MMA's last chance?

This is a joke thread, right? You're trying to rile everyone up with some sarcastic trolling, right? Please tell me that's the case.

 

Don't feed it.

 

Obvious wind up, but he didn't continue to fight after the broken arm, it was stopped immediately.

Yes Mercer KO'd an incredibly out of shape Sylvia who didn't try immediately for the takedown, and that is still a huge feather in the hat for boxing fans who hate MMA (which seems like the dumbest thing in the world, how can you not love both)

Kimbo, barely trained street fighter with limited MMA training, however, DESTROYED Mercer, standing, clinching, ground, and finally chokeing him out.

 

lol, its funny how they say Sylvia was out of shape and yet fail to mention that the guy he was fighting was 50 f'kin years old and more than a decade past his prime.

Also, you clearly do not know the story behind the Kimbo "fight." Lets just say it was an "exhibition match" for a reason. And it wasnt a sanctioned professional bout because Mercer stated quite clearly he had NO intention of fighting on the ground and Kimbo and Mercer had a gentlemans agreement to keep the fight standing. That agreement was broken within seconds of the bout when Kimbo grabbed a leg. Very honourable of Kimbo and the corrupt MMA organization to make money off the back of an ancient Mercer.

Well done.

 

lol :rofl tim sylvia loss to mercer who loss to kimbo:rofl.. it's funny how a former ufc champ can't beat a 50 yrs old boxer in an mma match but a street fighting thug can do it. :rofl

 

Are you 10? Why do you insist on posting here with these same meandering trollish posts? Doesnt it get boring after a while or are you really that simple? :huh

 

Simply wrong, the "agreement" was a post fight excuse from the
Mercer camp; the time both spent training grappli g being a big clue, the fact that Kimbo made it clear before there was no agreement, as well Mercers camp not leaking the rumor until post fight.

Also there have been gentleman agreement fights before, they do not have to be exhibitions. Sylvia Mercer for one, the other being the whole strikebox event in Canada; which James Thompson broke and all hell immeditly broke loose; another food clear point there was no kimbo mercer agreement, nobody flipped out. Even if we assume your lie is true; that's on mercer, learn to fight; if boxing is so superior it shouldn't be a problem; he was in there with kimbo, not a world class grappler or Thai boxer.

 

Close thread excellent post.:good

 

Thats absolutely wrong. Listen to all the pre-fight talk, Kmbo said on numerous occasions he would stand and bang with Mercer. Mercer was under the same impression.

Why do you think Mercer was ready to punch Kimbo in the face immediately after the fight when both were on the ground? You think Mercer would've done that if there wasnt a gentlemans agreement?

And you really think they'd sanction a real MMA bout with a guy who refused to fight on the ground? Thats absurd. You look at the way Mercer fought, the guy had no intention of going to the ground which is why he had his back to the cage, with his hands up expecting to bang with Kimbo on the inside. Kimbo than promptly took down an unexpected ancient Mercer.

Sorry man, theres a reason why this fight is NOT on either fighters MMA record. It was an exhibition MATCH, that should be all you need to know about that.

Mercer did and does know how to fight. He was a great fighter...a decade ago. And he certainly didnt have to LEARN how to fight when he lit up a top 10 MMA HW in Tim Sylvia.

The fight was essentially a fix.

 

He said he would stand and bang, he did not say that is all he would do. That's bravado, not a gentlemans agreement.

They sanctioned mercer vs sylvis where both said they would only box, they did the same for strikebox. When the agreement was broken by a fighter at strikebox there was a huge ordeal, when Kimbo destroyed Mercer there was a consensus of "yea, that makes sense"

Show some proof of akimbo agreeing to never take the fight beyond boxing?

Not to mnetion mercer got a half assed takedown/aweep double leg against the cage, so if the imaginary rules were broken by Mercer, who was outstruck on the feet, and even outboxed by a bum.

 

Again, thats a lie. Sylvia/Mercer was supposed to be under boxing rules. The MMA org changed it to an MMA bout which is why Mercer was so pissed off.

Sorry to break it you man but that fight was under MMA rules which is why Sylvia attempted a low kick which pissed off Mercer who than promptly disposed of Sylvia in the nearest waste receptacle. And its the reason why that fight is on both, BOTH fighters records. Cant say the same about the Kimbo fight.

When a fighter like Mercer wants to punch Kimbo AFTER the fight while Kimbo is on his back that to me is ALL I need to know about the "fight." Its quite clear that at least one fighter was completely unaware of the rules regarding the fight nor did he expect that Kimbo would back away from the gentlemans agreement.

Mercer was not outstruck at all, thats absurd and a complete lie. Kimbo had everything blocked by Mercer, you're supposed to judge fights on clean effective punching, Kimbo did none of that, he was just super aggressive against a man nearing the age of 50.

So the only thing this proves is that MMA guys clearly cant keep gentleman agreements even though they are fighting someone nearly twice their age who shouldnt even be fighting in the 1st place given his health, age.

 

Do you continually come on here to troll?

 

That's all you shout. It's a lie. It was an MMA fight under MMA rules. Show me some evidence where it was any kind of agreenment otherwise. If Kimbo at any pointed wanted to do boxing he'd be in a ring boxing.

Yea you can't say same about Kimbo, because didn't he promptly dispose of Kimbo while he was getting his ass whooped.

So THATS your evidence? I see, just because the person sucks ass once it goes to clinch and from there on out it means he was cheaply lied to and there MUST have been an agreement because there's no other way to explain him getting beat.

Lol, he got out struck inside very little time. He balled up and got into a clinch and got his ass whooped by a bum who knows no ground game.

So the only thing this proves is that you got no ****ing prove of anything other than pure speculations. "There MUST have been an agreement where Kimbo wouldn't take it to the ground BECAUSE of the look on Mercers face." That's your ****ing prove for beebs request for evidence?
