The point is he got brain damaged fighting in this century. His last fight was only 7 years ago. You had to go back over 5 decades to find fighters who retired with similar level of brain damaged to an mma fighter who has to now take pills to prevent him from killing people.
How many times do boxers have to get obliterated when they go into the octagon using only their fists to realize that it is an unfair contest?
A debut boxer goes toe to toe with a so-called boxing ATG for most of their fight and wins almost the entire first half = "absolutely fkall" Hang your head in shame.
Of course, boxers can be successful in MMA and vice versa. It's a question of adapting PROPERLY to the other sport. Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic was originally a pure boxer, and he ended up being an MMA legend. On the other hand Toney obviously thought like Corbyn does, and thought that he could just walk in and take over Yeah ... worked out well ...
You were doing well up until your last needless comment about bringing up Mercer. You bring up Mercer and an MMA fan can bring up James Toney. I dont worry about what mma fans will say after this fight because if we`re being honest its exactly what you said. A small, light punching, 40 year old coming off a 2 year retirement to fight a 29 year old prime mma champion and the mma guy got kod and at no point in the fight appeared to be a threat to FlIVd at all. If Conor stepped in the ring against Canelo or GGG he doesnt get out of the first round conscious and id be willing to put 10Gs on that with anyone. We know what we saw and i understand people get all caught up but Conor didnt have any success that FlIVd didnt allow him to have except maybe a few nice jabs.
You can be sure that a 29 yo pro fighter in peak physical condition lasted 10 rounds against a 40 yo, relatively passive boxer with brittle hands who had a gameplan to take him into deep waters and ko him Did you forget about Conor's powerful left hand that was going to finish the fight within 2 rounds if he managed to touch Floyd?
I expected that Floyd would wrap him up by the sixth and that Conor wouldn't win a round. Totally embarrassing performance by Floyd. Against a DEBUT boxer. They ought to give him IV's between rounds next time.
You tell yourself that. Joshua has been making noises about doing the MMA thing. "But no submissions." I wonder why ...
James Toney was fat, overweight, slow, old, washed up and broke. Let's see what what happens to a 40 year old MMA fighter when we send over our best 29 year old with a years training to f*** him up. Your boy Conor took one hell of beating, proving once again YDKSAB. This content is protected
"MMA fighter Tim Sylvia and boxer Ray Mercer agreed to a fight in 2009 that was originally to be a boxing match, fought in a boxing ring, under Queensberry Rules. Mercer was a former world boxing heavyweight champion and Sylvia had held the UFC heavyweight title. After the fight was vetoed by New Jersey's state athletic commission, it was instead officially rescheduled as an MMA rules contest. However, a gentlemen's agreement was raised between the pair that they would box each other, and there would be no kicking or take-downs." http://******.com/index.php?threads...boxing-vs-mma-fight-under-boxing-rules.97134/ Try again.
So why did Sylvia kick him shortly before he ended up unconscious moron?!? Obviously you are wrong, yet again! Try again!
