To be fair that fight lasted what 9 seconds? Tim opened up by throwing one kick. Im pretty sure Tim decided to fight MMA rules after throwing that kick. Either way its rather subjective as 9 seconds is way to short a time to say definitively that Tim WAS electing to standup. Facts of the matter are these: Tim is slow as ****. Tim's standup is poor, he uses his size to compensate for that. His only strength though is his standup. When was the last time anyone seen Tim shoot for a single leg or double leg and pull guard. Rarely because Tim isnt athletic enough to do anything other than walk forward like a robot stuck in its 1st gear. When in the UFC Tim came in at 265lbs. For that fight he was well over 300lbs. Tim definitly took Mercer lighly because Mercer is dam near 50. But Tim also isnt smart enough to realise that he really isnt as good as he thinks he is. The last thing a boxer ever looses is his punch and with a slow guy like Tim the result would only ever have been a resounding KO be it MMA rules or Boxing. Thats exactly what happened.
Tim Sylvia is ****. Has always been **** and the UFC heavyweight division was a joke with him and Arlovski trading the championship back and forth. Two limited fighters that only made it to the top at the time because the best heavyweights were in Japan.
oh dear.. outerdrake your really reaching now its getting painfull,now the object of his affections has once again been exposed i.e kongo he is reduced to starting threads about a middle aged former boxer,wheres your avatar gone??????????? *****. tim sylvia and ray mercer hahahahahahaha,you sad twat,outerdrake is so delusional and blinded by his own little agenda's and prejudice it renders him meaningless in the grander scheme of things i mean how can we take a guy seriously who thinks cheick kongos is the next great heavyweight?? no one respects your opinion,this thread like you is pathetic.
Even when Mercer was covering up against the cage, Kimbo was throwing these weird, chopping, lumberjack-looking punches that Mercer was deflecting. Mercer wasn't in any trouble; he was just waiting for Kimbo to shoot his load before opening up. But Mercer seemed to forget that they were in an MMA fight and not a boxing match. Kimbo wimped out in that fight. He was talking like he was going to smash Mercer with his fists and punch him out, etc.....
Joe Rogan seems like the kind of guy who would send himself flowers to prove how popular he is.....He seems to be an arrogant, cocky *****!
Not really. Rogan smokes alot of weed and is just a very exciteable guy who gets carried away with himself. His partner in crime Goldberg doesnt help as Goldberg is just a bumbling idiot who even after all these years knows **** all about MMA. Renallo pisses all over him. Thats a REAL sports broadcaster.
Nah...Joe is a fan. He likes to watch boxing but he has vested interest in MMA. He know a lot about the sport and has some intelligence when speaking on boxing....he's just sometimes biased when talking to people who downplay MMA.
Rogan doesn't criticize boxing as a whole just the promotions that ruin it. He has never said anything bad about a fighter himself thoguh to my knowledge.
Well if so thats incredibly childish considering boxing arent the ones who started it. Dana White and his UFC puppets like Rogan are the ones who opened their mouth first because they needed someway to legitimize their sport. Bashing boxing was the 1st thing on their agenda.
MMA promotes their fighters better. When I watch and MMA event I usually know who all the fighter, even on the undercard. But when I get a Boxing event I only watch the main event and no matter how hard I try to find info about the other fighters there is no info provided. And, I am not sure who thinks Joe Rogan is not a boxing fan but he comments regularly on Boxing events and seems to stay current on the whos who of the boxing seen..... sounds like a fan too me.........
I've heard Rogan mention his favorite fighters as Pernell Whitaker, James Toney, and Bernard Hopkins. He is a boxing fan as well as a MMA fan.
